What a lovely man your brother is, and he got the daughter he deserved

Admirable brother you have has she met her birth mother yet?

patricia mcaskill I just found my brother in 2014

patricia mcaskill Is he married? He's so handsome!

patricia mcaskill what a great man, I am so sorry for all those single dads that have could not keep their babies from being adopted or aborted that many times do not even know that there is a child of their in this world.

jade fire never heard it before and I would love to hear those words, regardless of how sickly it would make me.

This is so very true! My father passed suddenly from a massive heart attack when I was only 20, and I still remember that prior week, like it was yesterday (now almost 20 years later). All the loving things he said to me, the things we did (our final motorcycle ride, playing the piano together, visiting him at the business he owned, etc). It was as if he knew, or the Big Man Upstairs knew that something was about to happen, and wanted that week to be full of memories. The things he said to me that last week, I'll never forget. 💞

Sadly bee I am so very glad to know you had your loving dad in your life. God Bless you and your family.

WOW... 😢

Powerful! Hope to some day find mine and get the story

I am so happy for you saidy bee...💗

WELL said! Thank you.

Moms and dads both. There are loving parents and selfish parents (or worse).

I always said that. Not matter how desperate you are

Liz Jones Then how will people make money from these adoptions?

@Mary Oden You have no idea if the mother wanted her or not. What an absurd thing to say. They were children, he was 15. A decision about what was best for the INFANT was made. It was the right call.

@@helenholt1161 the dad could have raised her.

@@marikiemarie7622 He was 15. Not educated. Terrible job prospects, a child himself. No, he absolutely could not have raised her. At best his family would be raising him and the baby. There is a reason why we don't let children this young make binding decisions, they are not mature enough.

They literally are. In this day and age (keep in mind that the girl in the video was adopted 36 years ago) fathers have to legally consent to an adoption. In this case, it was a different time, there was a lot more stigma around teenage pregnancy, and both parents being underage complicated things from a legal and social perspective.

It's common practice or was due to all countries religious and state marriage laws and adoption rules Irish citizen

Also, likely to prevent him fighting the adoption.

have been looking got my father for over 30 years and think have finally located him! I am scared and excited at same time.

for...

Wanda Taylor maybe it seems like some dad's don't care but perhaps they do. Maybe they are consumed by alcoholism or drug addiction or have some reason that they can't be the dad that they should be

Mike Cagle awesome! I know the feeling, I've been there. Also I found my brother and it took me two days to work up the nerve to call. Best wishes

I don't know how but i know its possible. Once i was born my farther left with another women. Ten years later had two girls with her and has always considered them better than me. Would pit us against each other, threaten me with taking them away from me if i didn't let him control me. He recently ⚰ and it was a relief, although not before ruining my relationship with my sisters😯 I pray for them every day though and I'm thankful for the lessons I've learned ❤🕆

You will be great!!

Shirley lopez You don’t know he hasn’t looked for you. Maybe he just hasn’t found you yet. Maybe get your DNA done and get on some of those websites and you can find family to track backwards till you find him. Some of those site have sales for only $70. Bucks to get tested. My daughter and her half sister just did this. They just got their results and now I’m finding my family through her DNA. You would find some of the answers you want snd maybe family that’s been looking for you. Maybe more people then your dad looking. God bless and good luck! Use more then one DNA site and you can find more results.

Shirley Lopez, please don't think that he doesn't want you or hasn't looked for you. My oldest son has a daughter that is 11 and he had to give her up, he was 16 when she was born. Not a bday or any other day goes by that WE all do not think of her and I know oneday she will be with us. I'm grandma and I'm looking forward to this day. Much love darlin!

@shirleylopez you never know till you find him. I am a foundling, it wasn't entirely happy, but it gave me much needed perspective on the life and people I have. Many blessings.

I know and the adopted family could care less about another humans rights because they usually have tons of money.makes you realize what the world has become.

Such an inspirational story!

As an adopted child I can say that even though you can be loved by the people who raised you you always wonder where you came from and I can tell that your daughter came from a very deep well of love. I did get to meet my birth parents however they were very ill at the time and I didn't get any time with them they were gone within a few years and I live too far away to visit but once. Phone calls and letters helped a bit the internet hadn't hit yet. But I did find out they had loved us very deeply and hadn't meant for us to be adopted the accident that put them in the hospital kept them from being able to get us back as quickly as a state wanted and in the 60s in the state we were in if blonde blue-eyed children came up for adoption wow you got them out there as quick as possible we were bought and sold so quick it was honestly very sad. But they're well of love that our parents had for us never dried up.

monicaporter3 I'm so sorry

Dear one, don't dismiss the people who want to care for you because me biology is messed up.

Catherine W. Maybe the mom wants to stay anonymous. That is her right.

Sorry to hear. That must have been devastating. His loss and you are worth it. Unfortunate that some people are souless and don't know how much they can gain from the reunion.

Perhaps he did not want to face his past. It's a shame but understandable in a human weakness. You must learn to move on.

Cheryl Lee bless you sweet child⭐️💕
