My original post, if you missed it: https://imgur.com/gallery/s7bvk
I promised to show you guys her reaction, so here it is!
Watch the full reaction here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_3LI84Rzhc
I want to thank all of you again for your love and support. After all the crying was over, I handed her my laptop and we read all of your replies to my original post together. You made this all the more special for her and for that I can't thank you enough. I think she might even be an Imgurian now (hi mom!!!).
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
EDITS:
1. OMFG people, she already got the can opener. Honest. It looks like this: http://www.webstaurantstore.com/images/products/main/70937/68706/swing-a-way-large-crank-can-opener-easy-crank.jpg
2. I am the only person that's allowed to make fun of my mom for wearing overalls. Consider yourself warned :P
3. To all of you people who have replied to tell me that you want to do this for Father's Day to the real dad in your life, I expect to see reaction videos from all of you! But really, that has been one of the most touching parts of this whole experience. SPREAD THAT LOVE!!!

squirrelgirl86
It was this one: http://www.webstaurantstore.com/images/products/main/70937/68706/swing-a-way-large-crank-can-opener-easy-crank.jpg
HughLaurie
I had that one, it was nice. I ended up replacing it with one of the ones that cuts on the side instead of the top though.
NonCottonCandy
And I still cut my my cans open with my victorinox. The technology sure has advanced while I wasn't looking
PurelyCoincidental
Which was she happier with? Nah jokes you're both amazing! Big hugs!

Hey OP. There's a trophy called "OP delivers" if you don't get it in the next couple of days, email them. You deserve it.
nutang
is this a thing? if it is; that's awesome.
jackwhitesotherotherotherband
Tempting fate with this comment OP but yes It's definitely front page material +1 for you. Oh and congrats.
lolzomg123
Tempting fate? No... She's safe. OP delivering, making everyone with a working heart cry... That's a golden combination.
MulattoLatte
Still think this is pretty smug of OP
sheepwithasword
The question mark and the winky face make it all better.
squirrelgirl86
Sorry to be a bit smug there, but my original post made the front page and her reaction was so beautiful.
jackwhitesotherotherotherband

I'm a cynical bastard but I have a tear in my eyes - congratulations OP on finding your real family, and them for finding you.
Anononononon
All cynics are romantics who have faced the harshness of reality.
PurelyCoincidental
A real NZ cynic would be making OPs mum jokes, but we're too busy crying!
