A genetic test finally led Lisa Wright to her birth mother. To Wright's surprise, she was someone she watched on TV growing up.

The surprises didn't stop there: He said that Wright's birth mother lived in Los Angeles, the same city where Wright herself lived. Wright searched her mother's name online and found a photo of her.

Wright and her mother, actor Lynne Moody, didn't waste any time making plans: They decided to meet the very next day. "When she was born, they covered my face, my eyes, so that I couldn't see her," Moody said."But I could hear her cry. All I could say was 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby, I'm sorry.' As a mother, you never, ever, ever forget. During those 50 years, all I did was try to learn how to live with it. I didn't know if she was hungry, if she was alive, if she was happy, if she was adopted.

"When I found out that she was my daughter, at that moment, it was like I was giving birth," Moody shared."Because I lost my legs, I was on the floor in a fetal position, screaming and crying. I didn't know how deep that hole was."
