In an emotional reunion decades in the making, a woman who was raised in America traveled to Panama City to track down her birth father. Jessica Mata, 28, from Brooklyn, New York, was raised by her Puerto Rican mother and grandmother in America, but she never got to know her biological father. In the emotional footage, Jessica can be seen walking into a communal square in the old town of Casco Viejo, near the nation's capital. There, she locked eyes with a man who she had identified as her father, Guillermo Mata, who had seen her as a baby but never got to know her through her childhood and into adult life. Having initially resisted the urge to cry, Jessica decided to fight it no longer, bawling happy tears and falling into her father's arms.
