Early on, Bobbi had made the painful decision to put her child up for adoption, feeling that was the best chance for the baby at having a good life. Bobbi had been sedated when her son was born, but now desperately wanted to see him. Although it initially proved difficult, Bobbi prevailed in the end. But it was a bittersweet victory that has haunted her ever since: The heartwrenching joy of seeing her child for both the first and last time. After seeing her son, Bobbi signed the adoption papers. She eventually married and had three more children. But Bobbi never forgot the son she left behind.

In 1984, when her son turned 18, Bobbi traveled to the adoption center that had handled the case. Bobbi thought she could now gain access to her son's records, and find out where he was. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Bobbi was instructed to write a letter which would be placed in his adoption files. Bobbi did that, and spent the next several years waiting for her son to answer. He never did.

Then, in 1993, a tragic series of events turned Bobbi's search into a desperate race against time. Bobbi was diagnosed with chronic active autoimmune hepatitis, a rare genetic disorder. Her own antibodies attack and will eventually destroy her liver. Bobbi was told she had, at most, ten years to live. Although there is no cure for chronic active autoimmune hepatitis, finding Bobbi's son now would allow him, if he did have the disorder, to be treated early, possibly preventing liver damage and extending his life for quite a long time. Since the diagnosis, Bobbi has stepped up her search, with the full support of her other three children, who all run the risk of inheriting her disorder.UPDATE: On Friday night, April 18, 1997, Bobbi Page Myler's life-and-death search for the son she had given up for adoption in 1966 ended just moments after Unsolved Mysteries profiled her touching story. Her son's adoptive mother contacted the Unsolved Mysteries Phone Center and spoke with Bobbi directly. Later that same evening, Bobbi's son, 30-year-old David Bills of Bountiful, Utah, also called the phone center. His wife, Tammy, had seen the show and had contacted David at work. Later, the emotional biological mother and son finally spoke for the first time.

Bobbi and David did speak about her illness that Friday night. David confirmed that he has been ill since 1992, with what may be symptoms of Bobbi's disease. Still, despite the circumstances, the two are extremely happy to have found each other. They were also delighted to discover that they live only three hours apart. A reunion is being planned for the near future, to introduce both Bobbi and David to their new extended families.

Just moments after Unsolved Mysteries profiled her touching story, Bobbi Page was reunited with her son, David Bills.
