Fonuamana Fuahala was adopted by some distant relatives when he was a young child. He grew up in Los Angeles, and loved the family that took him in. But when he unexpectedly met a long lost cousin, it brought him on a journey to find his biological family in Texas. That months-long trip had a difficult choice at the end of it. Uncuffed producer Michael Callahan made this story about how Fuahala finally came to a decision about which family to live with.
