FORGIVEN
After 9/11, a white supremacist in Texas wanted revenge. He took his gun and shot three people he believed were Arab. One of the men he shot survived. That man, Rais Bhuiyan, worked to understand and forgive his shooter and then took a surprising step to prevent the man from being executed.
STORY UPDATE: KELLY FERN
Three years ago, Kelly Fern was Dick's guest. Kelly had been adopted from Korea, and as an adult she learned that she was not an orphan, and that her birth family had never stopped looking for her. At the time, Kelly was also looking for her own daughter, a little girl she'd relinquished for adoption when she was a teen. Kelly has since found her daughter, Suzie.
