Michael Watson had two moms. One was his adoptive mother who raised him from birth. The other was his birthmother whom only existed as an obscure portrait in his consciousness. From the tender age of seventeen, Watson embarked on a quest to connect the missing link to his past. Without fear of failure, Watson struggled to defeat every obstacle in his path. Twenty years later Watson found the truth- his biological family was told he had been stillborn!
Currently the president of Gallery of Diamonds jewelers in California, Watson shares his poignant adventure that launched the largest Mother's Day writing contest in the nation, called Why Mom Deserves a Diamond, in which over 100,000 kids have composed words of love for their own moms.
In Search of Mom continues to be an unparalleled chronicle of human spirit and has become a timeless testament for every adoptee, birthparent and adoptive parent.
