The father and son could be heard telling each other, “I miss you,” during the emotional reunion.

The man said he was surprised by where his son had been taken after he was removed from his mother's care.

“Have you seen where they have placed my son? Everybody should see where they brought my son when they took him away. A remote village, that’s where they brought my son in Germany,” he said.

He also expressed his joy at seeing his son again and said he wanted to take more pictures with him.

“I have missed you so much. I want to take more pictures with my son because I have missed him very much,” he said.

The man said the situation had taken a toll on the family but expressed hope for better days.
