Ramesh Ferris

Ramesh Ferris: It was 2002, and he had flown back to India for a reunion with the woman who gave him up to an orphanage in that country decades ago when he was barely a year old, according to The Star. Though its sad she had to give him up she couldnt afford to take proper care of him Ferris realized at that moment that her sacrifice paved his path to adoption by Canadian parents and to access to surgery in this country that helped him overcome the ravages he suffered as a baby with polio, a disease that nearly permanently robbed him of the ability to walk and Ramesh Ferris stared into his mother Lakshmis face for the first time, as she broke into tears of joy. The visit was about an hour but felt much longer due the overwhelming feelings I had and so much new information to absorb, he says, recalling that meeting at her home in southern India.
