DNA test helps Atlanta man reunite with long-lost father

It was a reunion decades in the making and nothing short of heartwarming.

Seventy-one-year-old Calvin Cooper flew into Atlanta from Toledo to meet his son. A son he never knew existed.

Thirty-three-year-old Tim Holloway, who lives in Atlanta, had uploaded his DNA to Ancestry.com. Cooper had done the same at a different time. When the results came back, the two were identified as a father-son match, a connection later confirmed.

“You’re looking for something you don’t think you’ll ever find. You’re just shooting in the dark,” Holloway said. “Then one day it happens, right before Christmas. I was like, ‘I don’t need anything else.’”
