There is a lot of laughter coming from the kitchen at the Give Me Some Sugah bakery in South Shore these days. It’s the kind of laughter that is even more special because it’s being shared by family.
Chicago residents Lenore Lindsey and Vamarr Hunter are mother and son, though they only discovered that a couple of years ago.

“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.
You can’t make up for time and days gone by. What you can do is properly utilize the time that you have.
“It’s been a great experience,” Hunter said. “It further strengthens my faith.”
