Rodney Atkins has metwith his birth mother. Rodney was given up for adoption as a baby and was adopted by a family in East Tennessee. But he always wondered who his birth mother was. "I needed to close that door," Rodney tells USA Today. Hee says he is glad he found his mother -- mostly because it brought her peace. The woman, whose identity he is keeping private, became pregnant at 19 and hid the fact from her family, opting for adoption over abortion. "I just wanted to tell her thank you, because she had some other alternatives to end that situation," Rodney told the paper. "I might not be here. So you don't want to take it for granted. ... She kept saying, 'I'm sorry.' I kept saying, 'Thank you.'"
