Me, too!

Me three. Bawling 😭

Me 4! 😉 These stories always bring me tears

Me 6

Ha me 5 too

He would think I’m a midget.

And very compassionate ❤❤

I agree but I do like the shows that tell them the news that the parent is deceased...off camera.

I was very impressed with her also for being so loving and accepting.

That’s the woman everyone should marry. She is a good woman.

My impression was that she’d been wanting this reunion forever but she was never “allowed to speak on it”

Well, it was not she Debbies was looking after. The wife is always in the middle. Father and daughter needed a moment by themselves.

I'd like to know how they are now

It was.

And for her father! He had tried and tried to find her and kept her live in his life by speaking about her. What a joy for them to have found each other, for the sing,e children to now have a sibling!

Same. No family & now she does 🙏

David is a truly wonderful person to dedicate his life’s work to reuniting families all over the world!I’ve been raised by relatives other than my parents and from Germany originally can relate to some of these reunions, quite emotional actually!

Not too late

We all need to know where we come from, even if they aren't good people. Knowledge is power.

Just wish I had siblings out there!

Hmmm, I have mixed feelings about that actually. I would have preferred to be raised by adoptive parents who truly wanted, loved and guided me, as opposed to having had parents who got married because they “had to” and raised you because they felt obligated and had no other choice…. I speak from experience as someone whose mother was definitely not ready to have children at age 19 and saw them as a burden, not as a joyful gift or a privilege. And now I see how she goes on and on about my cousin’s baby, when I know she didn’t feel the same way about her own children. You can see it in the photos of her with us when we were babies. She looks sad and miserable… My cousin, on the other hand, was adopted by my uncle and his wife who absolutely adored him and as both were teachers, they helped him significantly with his education, whereas I was a latch key kid whose parents separated when I was 13 and split me up from my brother and childhood neighborhood as well.

💔 how traumatic

Such a common secret that is hurtful when everyone is aware but the child. My SIL found out that what she thought was a cousin is actually a half sister.

Sorry to hear that, you have my condolences...

You may never know the answers, but you are here..on this big blue marble for a reason..you are a blessing..may you shine always as the star of your life. And bless the mother and father that made it so.✌♥️🙏

Sounds like depression. Just like to put that out. I’m sorry for you

That’s sad. 😢

That's so sad I pray you will feel better 🙏 she might have had a reason might have suffered from depression. The best way to honour her memory is for you and your siblings to really love and cherish each other 💕

Thank you for watching and connecting to the stories 💛

@@RealFamilies would love to see more connectoons

agreed

Johanna Missing or abandoning dads are the worst

☺️😂😂 this comment makes me laugh

I hate the “re-cap” every so often.

@@SunShine-og4ux Haha! Yes, because everything is so dramatised, they think we will so easily forget trying to keep us hooked 😑🤦🏽‍♂️ They are coping America TV far too much in their editing approach.

@Kaisa K Haha! The host, as cold as an ice cube 😂 The host isn't messing around 😤 I love the concept of family reunited after years of being apart etc but shoes like this don't need American WWE hype edting to keep us attached. The editing remind me of Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare USA, if you want dramatic OMG 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

@Kaisa K my

It’s to reduce copyright flags/issues for them

Do a DNA test.

@@jmk1962 Lack of cash, maybe one day 👍 Thank you for replying 🙏 😊

Do an ancestry dna test! It was only 49.00 when I did it. Thousands of my people out there and I had no idea. Do it!

Tell them to do DNA tests

That was so upsetting. Why in the world wouldn't they want the child to be with their parent if they could be??

@@NsTheName Power tripping. There are good people working in social services in countries around the world, and then there are the cold, ego centric power tripping psychopaths.

@@hilaryc3203 I'll just never understand. It's evil.

Awwwwhh

At the very beginning the music is Better Kind of Bitter. I use the Shazam app to identify music I don't know.

Though

A man of few words, it seems she has filled in the silences and spoken up for him .. to me it seems they are in harmony.

He should.

Try doing dna with ancestry. It will show you cousins etc from both sides and hopefully any on your dads side can help you build a tree to find your dad

I don't know how old are you, but you deserve to know, even if he was a bad man and it's better to not have him in your life. Maybe she's ashamed or afraid for some reason? People sometimes discover secrets that were to be forever buried.

Can you find out little clues about him... how old were they when they were together, what did they do together aside from create you, what did he love in life, why does she not want to tell you more, is she trying to forget him or protect you or.... see how many different questions you can come up with and pick moments when she is more open to ask some of them. Have you your birth document? If you were born in a hospital, contact the hospital for birth records and parental information. If there is a family doctor or any relative of your mother you can speak with, they also might have small clues... start a notebook with every snippet you get, when you got it, how you found it, who you spoke with, what was said.... every minute detail... even the feeling you get when speaking to someone about it, their facial expressions and voice. Maybe you could also post on social media your mother’s name and ask for clues to who your father might be.... but use your wits when receiving responses, be cautious and skeptical as well as open minded. I wish you the smoothest interviewing with your mother and best of luck. ,

I did ancestry and found out who my mothers father was. My mother never knew and wasn’t interested but I wanted to know where I came from. Good luck to you.

Yes a DNA will link you to cousins and you can probably work out who your father was through them.

Annamarie Gregory Peck, the movie version, would have been a nice, imaginary dad.

@@Charity-vm4bt Oh yes. Such a lovely man.💜
