Long-lost brothers reunite after 77 years apart

USA TODAY

Two brothers separated as children in 1945 reunited for the first time in Australia after decades apart.

Younger brother Geoff, who was removed from his family at the age of one, greeted his 83-year-old brother Ted with a big hug.

They had not seen each for 77 years.

After World War II, Geoff was put up for adoption when their mother died from cancer. Their father, who was already raising three boys including Ted in England, couldn't take care of a baby as well.

Geoff was adopted and moved to Australia in 1951.

Watch the moment these long-lost brothers see each other at the airport in Sydney, Australia.

Ted, a grandfather of three, will have the opportunity to spend time with Geoff's family, which includes eight children and eight grandchildren.

The older brothers had been trying to find Geoff for many years without success. Geoff was able to track them down in 2014 a few years after they lost their eldest brother, John. The remaining siblings have kept in touch ever since.
