I gave a baby up for adoption as a teen. He searched and found me last year. He’s a nice mature young man and was raised in a good 2 parent home. He’s a firefighter, owns his home. I went through an adoption agency. Obviously, I’m proud of the decision I made for him to have what my immature, ignorant self couldn’t. I was so relieved when he told me he was in a good home and never needed for anything growing up.

Anyone else just want to reach over your screen and just hug this woman? She has so much courage and she is super brave and strong to have to go through all of that ❤️💛😇💯

Wow, what a remarkably articulate and intelligent young woman. She is designed for greatness! Those "parents" have a lot of making up to do.

I can only imagine the pain the anger, and the resentment this girl went through because for these people. every person that "raised" her has failed as parents. That goes for the foster parents, they need to be arrested.

This is why the Maury show was so good. It's for these once in a lifetime moments that change people's lives forever and heal wounds. I hope this family can move forward and grow in love ❤

She looks just like her mom ❤I hope they love each other an move forward ❤

So happy she finally found her parents. It's been a long time coming for her. Hope they stay blessed and get back the time that they lost.

I think we are all going to miss Maury.

I feel so bad for her to go through all of that and then have a p.o.s for an adoptive mother. I hope she is able to heal herself and realize shes a beautiful woman with a whole life ahead of her. Sad her mom was 16 and the dad was a grown 23 year old man. I hope her life turns around for the better and her parents are actually there for her like she deserves

Everyone is bashing the mom but I don’t understand why As a adopted child if she kept the child knowing she couldn’t give the child a good life would you guys rather her keep the child and struggle with it? She probably did what was best at the time nobody is talking about the dad tho who straight up admitted he doesn’t wanna be in her life. the dad could’ve stepped up and took that girl outta foster care and he didn’t and the moms making an effort now while the dad admitted he didn’t wanna see her at all. Everyone bashing the mother but let’s the dude off the hook

It took me 20 years to find my mom and when I did I only had 5 years to spend with her until she passed away but I feel Jessica’s pain I been in foster care from the age of 7 until I was 18 years old I was trying to find my parents but my sister ended up going threw the system to find are mom and when we did I asked her all these questions so yeah I can relate to this story 100% i cried when she found out the results

Not having a mother or a father around can damage a child i pray for this family this woman deserves so much love

She’s definitely not happy nor at peace she’s been thru HELL‼️ and had to go look for both her dead beat parents who’s telling her they here now .

At 30, I wouldn't wanna look for parents that abandoned me and didn't look for me, especially a father who clearly told me to stay away. My heart goes out to thus woman after all she's been tbrough.

God Bless Her❤️

Åh my god this is just what she needs her parents love .make sure you give her everything she deserves and love her for the rest of her life.congrats to you all.maury you are a hero for putting them together ones more

OMG I have never felt for someone like this,I pray the Almighty heal both of them,let love lead,may God bless you Maury you doing an amazing job I swear❤❤❤

How come no body in the audience is red teary eyed like me right now... Shes the woman I want to be strong resilient and brave.

Is there a follow-up to this, cause I really wanna know what happens to her and her parents. Mainly cause I just want her to finally have the loving family she always wanted, needed and deserved.

This is one of the best Maury shows ever.

The parents don’t say what the circumstances were surrounding her birth. We’re they teenagers? Drug abusers? What? Obviously they knew they couldn’t/wouldn’t be good parents. Unfortunately, the adoptive parents didn’t want her. So why adopt her in the first place?? I don’t get that! Perhaps she was out of control and they threw their hands up because they couldn’t deal with it? This segment may answer who her biological parents are, but it gives me a whole host of other unanswered questions.

Wow ! That one got me. Brought a tear to my eye

She's a blend of the mom and dad! you can tell their her parents

Personally I don't think either one of them thought about searching for this child... She's in her thirties and that's a lot of years wondering where your parents are..she hired an attorney...Why couldn't they have done the same 😞

Jessica god will see you through

Poor woman needs therapy to heal those traumas and resentments. A lot of people passing judgement on the mom but she was obviously very young at the time of Jessica’s birth and we don’t know her circumstances (16 and dad 23!) She could’ve opted for abortion but she chose to give her daughter life and put her up for adoption- I’m sure hoping that she was giving her a better life than what she could provide. The real villains in this sad story are her adoptive parents who abused her! I also think it’s very possible that it was a closed adoption and the mom didn’t have the financial means or resources to track down her daughter. She seemed very regretful and genuine. Dad not so much- she said he has “so many kids” which tells me he’s good at making those babies but not raising them 🤷🏻‍♀️

This why I love Maury

God bless you Maury.

I love you Maury and this young woman is remarkable..so beautiful and blessed ❤Jehovah heard your prayers

"I wanted to be in your life" but didnt go to her wedding. Trash. She doesn't deserve this bs

She said she didn't want to meet him so you forcing her 😮

I wish their was something that could be done .like updates on children so they dont get lost in the system .like each time they go to a different home or runaway .the parents ,and or other family members know something.

They should have boooed the dad

Poor girl, I so hope her parents fill her life with love she deserves it ✝️

Her anger is misdirected. She should honestly be mad at her adoptive parents.... her natural parents probably had too much going on and wanted to give her a better life being adopted.

I call bs on this story. Jessica claimed she was in over 120 foster homes since age 13. That's a minimum of 2 a month for 5 years. I also find her to be accusatory. Why she was put up for adoption was never stated. If anyone failed her, it was her adoptive parents. She's way off base blaming her birth parents.

I agree what a wonderful young lady. Maybe she could turn that anger around by helping kids that were in her shoes. I think she would be wonderful doing that. On the other side may be just closing that door and starting fresh in a whole new Direction. God bless you for a happy happy healthy healthy life ahead❤

That was incredible!💜

🙁🙁🙁I don’t know how to feel about this. I’m happy for her, but I feel for her. They were out living their lives while their child was in/out of 123 foster homes & never had safety & sercurity.

The mom have her nose I’m hoping for the best 🙏🏽the pain I can feel it

Gosh, so much pain. Get her help!😢

This was a great turnout she found out that was her mother and also she found out her who her real dad was on that episode too!!!

Look just like her mama my goodness 🙌🏾

You shouldn't judge someone for putting their children up for adoption. There is obviously so many reasons for putting your child up for adoption. Some don't even put up their children for adoption, some can be other family and they probably never told them

They owe her so much, and I see her shaking her head like this isn’t enough. She has a child and knowing she would never leave them she’s just wondering wtf happened to her parents

I could only imagine the pain and the relief you felt right now knowing that you have appearance I need belong in the world God is good keep your head upon it will get better❤

Absolutely ❤she deserves big love and Murray too big then together thank you so much

She is so beautiful. She has such a beautiful spirit. I pray that they are great parents to her now.

This is the most heart breaking news i'veever watched

It's so painful 😭😭😭😭 at the same time too much joy

Awesome Prayers 👌 👏 👍

I miss my mother rip mom 😢🙏😭💔

She's blaming her birth mother for the abuse and neglect she suffered from her adopted mother.

I understand what she went through growing up bur I can also see why her adopted mother gave her up and why she was at over 120 foster homes.

A bit of drama too. Maybe because it's a show. Glad she found her parents.

JESSICA.....YOU MUST FORGIVE YOUR PARENTS. AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US "

Sharp girl here n very mature lady.i hope God gives u da best

This is so so sad 🥺❤

Double blessings

Anyone else kinda upset gor her lack of understanding or respect for her mother giving her up. She has no idea why she had to give her up ! The adoption process prevents the child and parents from knowing about each other. Her adoptive mom i hope isn't allowed to foster another

My heart goes out to this woman for all the pain and suffering she indure, but you have to forgive them, says the father, with God all things are possible,he fix what is broken 💔💔 seek him and ask for his guidance,on how to restore you praying for this family

Heart breaking!

The father missed her wedding, for no reason; the mother wanted her, became active immediately no wonder the girl lets her hold her hand, but the dad missed the wedding; first says they had disagreed then says he didn't have funding, I no the mama will be there for her, and the mama knew he dad through out.

My mom wasn't much better then this mom. Thank the gods for my Dad he step in and took me my 2 sisters & brother

It's a miracle she made it to adulthood

I knew she was her mother before the results. They have the exact same nose she looks so much like her mother.

Very sad! I pray she able to put the past to rest and that her parents to right from now on!!!!

The dad doesnt show much sympathy. He was only acting just to make a good impression

There’s nothing more heartbroken than being raised by other people who are not your biological parents

I love Maury shows. This show make me feel good for myself. I got pregnant at sixteen, my parents said I brought shame to them and I was kicked out. I went to live in refugee camp pregnant, confused and alone. I had my baby boy. When my baby was born I looked him in his eyes and I told him. I will be strong for you and I will protect you. From now forward it's God first then me and you next. When my baby was 4moths God opened a way for us to come to Canada. Today my son is 21 years old and going to be RN in 2 years. I give God the glory.

Dis is soooooo sad 😢😢😢😢😢

Praise the Lord ❤ for the LOVE

I'll start by saying I can't relate to the struggles of an adopted/foster child and the related anger, but I think she's extremely irrational and self-centered. Most mothers give up their children (a painful decision in the first place) because they want them to have a better life than what they can give them. They would have no way of knowing that she would have suffered down the line. Some people obsess over kids they put up for adoption, and other people may choose to avoid thinking about them because of sadness, guilt or not wanting to disrupt the family. It doesn't make them a bad person for not finding you. Most of the time, the kids have to search for the parents. And why is she publicly confronting her? I already thought it was weird when she said in the clip "I wanna know why" this and that when they'd already spoken before. Shouldn't you be here for the test at this point? She just wants a crowd to rally behind her because she's been hurt. I've gone through a hell of a lot I didn't deserve from people, but I don't need to shame them in front of an audience. The lady is apologizing and explaining herself, making promises for the future, but all she can do is continue to attack her with "me, me, me..." It's not like you haven't spoken about all this already. Even Maury felt the need to intervene.

123 that's a lot of damn Foster homes

Mums whole face and dads eyes

She needed answer

I understand her upset, unfortunately her mum & dad were obviously unable to give her the love at that time. Only they know the reasons for there actions at that time.

I knew he was her daddy as soon as it showed him

A 23 year old takes advantage of a 16 year old girl! The buck stops there!

Yes I love she her mom

Whoever this PI is they need to get an award or sum this is all due to them

I'm sorry but at 31 I dont believe I would want to find my parents, especially they put me up for adoption. and never care and let me goes through hell and back. don't have children if you can't take care of them. parents coming out now talking about I'm here now. she's the one that was searching to find them

Why adopt if u cant love

Sadly I know the person she my adopted cousin that got touch by my uncle which damage her in a way She doesnt even deal with her mother little to barley and lied to me sayin this video was in the vault and couldn't been seen adopted yes abandoned no she ran away cause my aunt n uncle didnt treat her right.Alone yes she was

Her anger is misdirected and personally if she came at me all hot like that that would be the end of it right there. Nobody owes anyone anything in life. It’s nice if you get it but expectation is foolish.

I knew it

😢❤😊

😰

All I can say is life a di greatest hits of all times god 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 knows everything everytime si when you trust in god he will deliver faith trust hope and love 💕❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ everytime

9:56 DNA test results

Y would you abandon your own child such sad situation this poor young lady went through

My father tried to come in my life found he was dieing nope he passed I'm good

It will be hard for her mother tand father to put up with someone with so much anger... I know her life wasn´t easy but I believe she never tried to make it easier... More than 100 foster homes ?? Her mother was only 15 or 16... Sorry, but I feel more for her parents than her. I hope she stops judging and embrace her parents.

I would read her memoir if she wrote one

Women give their babies up for adoption for a reason.

Both of them wicked, but no child don't have to do DNA for mommy

She can do better with out both of them

Not very well acted😮
