More than three decades ago, a teenage girl named Terry Fuller gave her son up for adoption when he was two years old. After several years, Fuller began trying to find her son, but didn’t know where to start looking. She turned to the Internet for help and created a MySpace page declaring her mission to find him. Unbeknownst to her, she misspelled his new last name and instead of typing Hawver, she wrote it as Haver.
As incredible luck would have it, that little mistake was the one thing that brought her the biggest gift imaginable - to reunite with her son. According to KSL-TV in Salt Lake City,
Her son [Rustin Hawver], who lived hundreds of miles away, actually stumbled upon her page because of a typo. He missed the "W" in his last name while searching for his blog.
"She had my name misspelled. If it wasn't for Google or that keyboard being messed up, I would have never have found that," Hawver said.
Fuller logged onto her computer one day and was speechless when she saw a message from her long-lost son.
"I got on the computer. There was this message. It says, ‘Hi, I'm Rustin Hawver, H-A-W-V-E-R. I think I'm the one you're looking for that you want to meet. Please let me know if I'm wrong.' Because I had it spelled as H-A-V-E-R."
