Man finds out the owner of his favorite bakery is also his biological mom!

It's been his favorite bakery for years but now there's a lot of laughter coming from the kitchen.

Vamarr Hunter patronized the bakery for awhile but now it's a more special place because it's being shared by family.

Only recently did he and mom Lenore Lindsey discover they're related.

"It's the most joyful story and time in my life," Lindsey said. "In my senior years, all of this has come together."

Lindsey was 17 years old when she gave her newborn son up for adoption. Hunter was 35 when he discovered he was adopted, and years later became curious to meet his birth mother.

Hunter submitted results for genetic testing. It turned out they lived in the same South Shore neighborhood, and he was a regular customer at the bakery she owned. "It's been a great experience," Hunter said. "It further strengthens my faith."

Lindsey believes God brought them together. When they discovered the relationship, she was facing a health crisis, which led Hunter, who had no prior baking experience, to take over the bakery.

These days, Hunter said he's especially proud of his pound cake. Now that his mom's health is better, they often work together.

"When I called him, that connection was so immediate," Lindsey said. "I can't even explain it. It was just like everything in my heart just broke open."

Now that Hunter knows more about his family lineage, he's planning to keep his bakery in the family. He says once he retires, he wants to pass it along to one of his children.
