The fact that he was looking for her too is a blessing! Not alot of fathers would want to be in there child's life

Oh and for anyone still interested in this story. Jodie took a trip to New Jersey where her daddy and his family live. She made the plans to be there for his 60th birthday. She crocheted him a beautiful Afghan for his birthday. She met her Gramma and uncles and aunts and cousins and her older and younger brother. She was thrilled and had a wonderful trip. There are plans in the works to go up again this next Spring vacation and take his grandkids up so he can meet them.

This is my story and first of all I am so glad I got to meet my father. Second of all they are slightly incorrect my mother DID give information to my father when she moved and they were in contact until I was 6 months old. My mother sent photos of me to my dad until they started being returned back to her. My father had been discharged from the military and moved leaving no forwarding address. My mom is an absolutely AMAZING woman who never badmouthed my dad and even offered to help me find him repeatedly over the years I always refused. I think it is pretty rude for people to be making assumptions and calling my mother names without knowing ANYTHING about my story.

So... how exactly is this show going to compensate me for all the tears that I have lost?

Oh and BTW my father was hit by a car in the 90's and suffers from a traumatic brain injury. When he woke up from his coma he didnt even know his own name much less that he had a daughter out there. It took him years to get the memories back. People are just to judgemental nowadays!

I wish my dad would pop up out of nowhere.

So glad they found each other! Beautiful story! I love seeing people reunited!

Y'all could've at least warned me before you started cutting all these onions. 😢😭😭

I love how Tamera and A had real human responses to this. I love everyone but they were highlighted to me bc they both realized the weight of this moment! how beautiful it is to find your blood with no drama too! God bless them

This is so touching I can't find words to explain.

God bless them both

Can y'all stop making me cry please! I'd really appreciate it! 😭

I wish my dad was looking for me so i could meet him

her husband walked out on her.....what a coward

More More More of these please!!!!

Now this is what its about. More shows like this!

She raised a beautiful daughter. This is so touching! God bless you Jodie, momma for trying your best and poppa too! Enjoy each other! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

can I just say how BEAUTIFUL everyone looks here? a beautiful moment with gorgeous people :)

God takes something to give you something greater, so much love xx

Thank you to the real for reuniting them you all are amazing women!

You ladies were so sweet to bring them together.

The real Ladies CONSTANTLY make people cry. I cannot watch the show without crying daily. Love you all ladies and may God continue to bless you in your lives and careers!

OUTSTANDING, If we spent more time doing this, this is a true blessing. I will never know my dad, so I am grateful fro her to have him back in her life.

This is so joyful

Ohhhhhh, my heart... What a beautiful story. I am a genealogist for 25 years now and along the way I have connect people with their family members and it's just such a fantastic feeling. Love is amazing because you can see it's there even though this father and daughter have never met but they love each other fiercely. It's warms my heart. Congratulations!

I couldn't hold back the tears, so happy for you both

truly favored for this union to come..God bless them with long life and health..I am so happy for her.. wow.. this made me cry also too.

As a kid growing up I never knew my father he hauled ass soon as I was born but long story short I can relate to this very emotional moment

I couldn't imagine being without my two girls that long, this is awesome 😊

I cant stop crying...damn it!! Good that she found him.

A father holds his children in his heart for a lifetime.

Tears in my eyes. What a reunion for them. 😘💯❤️

BEAUTIFUL reunion

Wow, that was soooooo beautiful. I too have been looking for any family member, especially my parents. I pray before I leave this earth I get to experience some of that what she has. You women are amazing.

This brother looks so familiar to me as in having met before. This is a beautiful story and thanks for helping us all with this invincible display of love conquering all.

I couldn’t watch this without tears..

Tears flowing. they need each other. fb has done good.

Nice work Ladies...please don't quit. On this rock more and more we see the effects of war, poverty, rascism and heartache. Somebody gotta pick us up right? By tje way - l'm a 63 yrs. Old, white, retired Canadian Soldier. My body is broken to be sure, but l refuse to let my spirit die; because of folks like YOU!

This was Beautiful ❤️

Kudos to the Real!

my my so much tears watching this but truly God is in control here no matter what happens in the pass or what anyone has to say this is your time mom ,daughter and father to make it right

precious precious moment

Wow. . .this is beautiful to see. I rejoice with her. . . My dad died a year ago on 11/19/15. We never really got to this point so it's really excited to see the love. I'm one of six (4 women) but God is good. . .I love this

I'm so encouraged & happy for Jody being reunited with her father. I have a baby brother I've never met. Our mother passed away 22 years ago & everyone else that would have any info is deceased. This give me hope. Shedding years of joy for Jody. 😟😢😌🙌

Really beautiful daughter

awwwwwwwwwww so beautiful was I the only one tearing up my emotional walls were coming down

That's was beautiful. I'm over crying and this was three years ago. You don't have to explain nothing. People can kick rocks. I'm so glad they found each other. Look at God. Won't he do it.?

Beautiful story!! Live Loni.. she is SOOOO DETROIT!!!! What up doe Loni!!

Beautiful

Omgggg tears! She looks so much like her Dad!

That was wonderful.

It is Beautiful how open and forgiving they obviously are as people. My dad is out and I could build a relationship, but I just have no desire in me to do so ..for good reason 😌

I haven't seen my dad in 6 months but I'm seeing him in December

Such a beautiful moment 😊😊😊😊😊❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

AMAZING!!

Just blessed!!!!!

I watch over and over and over again. I wish this is was me. I never met my father.

Stories like this bring happiness ☺️ and tears 😂 to my eyes🥰😘😍❤️❤️

I know something is ineffably beautiful when I see it. This is it. Oh God

You girls are angels!!
