A mother who was reunited with her son after giving him up for adoption more than 30 years ago says the pair are in love and trying for a baby after he left his wife for her.
British-born Kim West, 51, and her son Ben Ford, 32, who lives in Michigan, USA, have been in a relationship since they met in 2014 and says they have “incredible and mind-blowing” sex.
The pair came back into contact two years ago after Ford wanted to find out more about his birth parents and got in touch with West.
They found themselves sexually attracted to each other and shared their first kiss over a bottle of champagne in a hotel before having sex.
And just three days after they had sex for the first time, Ford told his wife, Victoria, he no longer loved her and would be leaving.
He told New Day that he told his wife: “Everytime I have had sex with you since I met her, I imagine it’s her I am kissing, otherwise I can’t perform.”
West, who grew up in Islington, London, became pregnant while studying in California and after giving birth to her son aged 19, gave him up for adoption.
Ford was adopted a week after he was born and West went back to the UK but was unable to make a relationship work.
But in December 2013, she received a letter from her son, who was looking to track down his biological parents.
And ever since the pair were reunited in January 2014, they realised they were attracted to each other.
Now two years on, he is in a relationship with his mother with the pair living in Michigan in what they describe as Genetic Sexual Attraction.
And now they plan to marry and are even trying to have a baby together.
West, who works as an interior designer, told Alley Einstein of New Day: “This is not incest, it is GSA. We are like peas in a pod and are meant to be together.
“I know people will say we’re disgusting, that we should be able to control our feelings, but when you’re hit by a love so consuming you are willing to give up everything for it, you have to fight for it.
“It’s a once in a lifetime chance and something Ben and I are not willing to walk away from.”
The couple are planning a special wedding and hope to have a baby together. They also say they will consider surrogacy if they are unable to have a biological child.
Incest is illegal in the couple’s home state of Michigan but say they would be willing to move.
The two getting support from another GSA couple.
