Sounds like he had a one night stand with a stranger.. possibly while married. I don’t know, too much isn’t covered there. How did they know of each other’s existence? According to the father’s story I doubt the birth mother gave any information about him when she put her baby for adoption. Also… blood is one thing.. but his true family remains the one that broutht him up.
Don’t discount the birthdads. I was adopted and had only really thought of finding my birth mother. She wasn’t very interested but my birth father! He was awesome. We had so much in common and found we really looked at things the same way. He passed at a young age and I really miss him. I’m so glad we had all the experiences we did.
You are so right. I met both my birth parents finding my dad 10 days before my mother. I had a good relationship with him until he passed away. But my birth mother, we no longer talk although she is alive and kicking, and lives close to me me
His father being a father in the first few seconds after meeting him. ‘Just breathe son’ every time he called him son it was like he had done that all Clinton’s life. I am so happy for him. What a beautiful family to be in. Now he has two. All the very best to everyone. His mother made a loving decision to give birth to him so he could know his family.
What a wonderful video of my husband, Seth, getting to meet the brother he never knew he had, and Barry meeting his son. I am so glad this moment was captured in such a beautiful way. Looking forward to getting to meet Clinton in the future. Thank you for creating this opportunity BYU TV ❤
I remember trying to search out my dad when I was 18 years old because of identity crisis. I felt like no one understood me in my own family. So in college, I found him. And we had 42 years together. I’m glad for reunions like this. Because you feel like part of you is missing. Finding him; it was healing for me. ❤
@Stars-sn6xx I am the wife of Seth Allen. Clinton lives quite a few states away from us but Seth and his new found brother chat regularly. We are hoping to have him fly out here to meet more of the family. ❤ It was wild learning that he has another brother and him getting to meet him in this special way.
The way he was just stuck & stared when Barry said he was his Dad. 😩😭 They look SO much alike, I love how they welcomed him & instantly bonded. Who just randomly has a guitar pick on them?! Hahaha! 🥰
Having adopted our son as a newborn (now 31) we really got a front seat to nature vs nurture. People really are prewired genetically and as parents we get the privilege to influence our kids. I am thrilled for this biological family’s finding each other. It really does help an adoptive person fill in the holes. Unfortunately, not all reconnections are as amiable and successful as was the case for my son, which breaks my heart for him. The story isn’t done being written and hope remains.
I am so sorry. I am adopted and found my birth family. It’s not all roses. I pray your son can get some resolution with his birth family. And I also pray that he can feel at peace with whatever happens. ❤❤❤
When I met my father, we went to dinner… we both put our knives in our fork and just laughed. There were so many memories. I had 5 years with him before he passed. They were therapeutic. Thank you for sharing this.
I hope they always keep the loving adoptive parents in mind. I have 3 adopted daughters. They are all married and happy. 2 of them stay in touch. The youngest is much loved by her new family, but it's heartbreaking to never hear her voice. (I know she's ok, through her biological grandmother)
I hope and pray 🙏🏽 that she will recognize you as her mother. I was adopted and I found my family. My adoptive parents were already deceased, however, I never gave up my adopted family. We all welcomed my birth family into the family. I would never not talk to my adoptive parents after finding my birth family. ❤🙏🏽
It took 25 years to find my dad. I was able to share the last 8 years of his life with him. He died due to complications of Parkinson's. I helped get him into a nursing home just down the road from where I lived so I could visit him during his last few years. So grateful for the stories, pictures, and memories we made together. I'm even more happy that I secretly recorded our conversations together. Now I can listen to his stories whenever I'd like.
I had the privilege of being with my Dad my whole life!!! I have never taken one moment for granted! I lost him last year. I’m broken! I love that this family is now united!!!
Seth and Clinton look like paternal twins. The embrace when Seth said I’m your brother. That was the moment he (Clinton) knew “everything is going to be ok.” Seth's family and circle of love just grew. So magnificent and thank you for sharing
When they started jamming together...gosh...they really played the strings of my heart...music is one of the most powerful forces there is,and combined with the absolute greatest power...love...i mean...no wonder they both say,God is good
Aloha… I was in my 30’s married with 5 children when I found my Dad.. I later found out I had 12 brothers and sisters and that I was the eldest daughter.. this made me Cry.. beautiful story Thank you
Wow, this is amazing ❤ Absolutely beautiful, one of the best I've ever seen on this programme...Sending them eternal love and blessings 🙏❤️ watching from Australia 🦘
I play guitar just like my Dad. I wasn’t adopted and grew up with my biological parents. They’ve both passed on now. For me it was both nature and nurture. In their case it was nature. Much is in the blood man!!!!!
You are forever changed in a moment like that❤ I found my birth mom and siblings a day before she died - at 59. The only event and experience we had was going to her funeral and burying her with a cross I sent her when I found her in Iowa after accidentally finding out I was adopted at 39. Your journey has ended and I’m so glad beyond words you found your family. OMG - how they love you!!! I love the emblem of true bonding - they had guitar picks in their pockets ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a gift this is…for them , for us. So much crap on the internet then videos like this show up and just cut through it all bringing joy and love in.
He's a wonderful son, sweet tall boy and how he honoured God that is awesome 👍,there is so much love and joy inside that young man, God bless you and your new family
I’m so happy for this family ♥️🙏✨ but it also broke my heart for my 30 year old son whose father and family have refused to have anything to do with him. He is the only born Grandson and even his Grandparents don’t want to know him. He was born into this world through no fault of his own, and I’ve never understood why they have done this to him? And what breaks my heart even more is how proud they would be of him. He’s so very successful, kind, loving, and good looking as well. But he always reminds me when I mention it “ mum I can’t miss something I’ve never known”. God bless my beautiful boy, it’s their loss not mine.
Great story! I was crying and didn't even realize. I have a little brother my mom gave up for adoption when I was in high school. I pray we get to meet him.
@@wendyannh To be honest, not every woman is meant to be a mother! I pray he was adopted into a great loving family! That was probably the most responsible or generous thing she ever did!
Y’all could do a whole series of updates and I would watch every episode and clip. In a time in the world that’s so unstable. I’ve been watching this to remind me of our humanity. The depths of what love can do. So wholesome and needed 🥹🥰
Me and my sister were so much like these two! She was tall, slim, blonde, blue. I was shorting, a little chunky, red hair, hazel eyes. I knew she was my sister the minute I lay eyes on her.

I LOVE that! I've often pondered what happens to the folks and their information that didn't make it to the show, and... THIS???... THIS IS FABULOUS!
I would love to see longer videos, that tell more of each story. These are just wonderful. Very bittersweet, at times. But, really wonderful. 🩷

Wonderful!
Who else needed this beautiful feel good moment today?❤❤❤
It was such a beautiful moment!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I totally needed this today!
Me!
Totally needed it! ❤
This young man hit the jackpot with his father and brother. I also love how the father didn't badmouth the mother.
Sounds like he had a one night stand with a stranger.. possibly while married. I don’t know, too much isn’t covered there. How did they know of each other’s existence? According to the father’s story I doubt the birth mother gave any information about him when she put her baby for adoption.

I love that his brother brought out the guitars to help him bond more with his dad. That`s a supportive brother right there!
And a wonderful and beautiful son too❤ That was awesome ❤
Right on brother!
He looks exactly like his father ❤
That’s what I was gonna say too
Carbon copy. Even his body build.
Agree 🥰
I thought so too ❤
❤ Yes! Right down to the way their mouth moves or shapes as they talk😂@@rachellecovarrubias2122
A guitar pick in your pocket, and a guitar pick in your dad's pocket. And just like that, they knew. 💙
Such a touching moment
Yes 😭💖💖💖
@@kekesdivinity9687yes
But was it the same gauge pick? :)
that is amazing!
Don’t discount the birthdads. I was adopted and had only really thought of finding my birth mother. She wasn’t very interested but my birth father! He was awesome. We had so much in common and found we really looked at things the same way. He passed at a young age and I really miss him. I’m so glad we had all the experiences we did.
I was adopted too. Met my birth Father several years ago. He is gone now, but I'm so glad I met him.
May your dads Rest In Peace, I wish you joy and happiness for the rest of your lives with your loved ones
Thank you for saying that. You were your father’s daughter ❤️
Same situation, always wanted to meet my birth mom but did not. Met my birth dad, was a great experience.
You are so right. I met both my birth parents finding my dad 10 days before my mother. I had a good relationship with him until he passed away. But my birth mother, we no longer talk although she is alive and kicking, and lives close to me me
I found my dad after 31 years as well.. my best friend for 10yrs and counting
🙏
So glad for you!
May God bless you and the whole family more and more, and may love and harmony always be there within the family!
He looks so much like his dad!
lots of similarities!
Dad's twin
The strong, chiseled nose profile sealed it for me. I think his brother probably saw that as well when they met outside for the first time.
Resembles his father 😮
He does! He is a carbon copy of his father! It is uncanny. genetics is amazing.
His father being a father in the first few seconds after meeting him. ‘Just breathe son’ every time he called him son it was like he had done that all Clinton’s life. I am so happy for him.

I love you too they look like they belong to each other family is so important and people don't realize that
That's great
Thank you so much. We enjoyed getting to meet your husband Seth and seeing him and Barry meet Clinton. It was such a beautiful moment to witness.
Thank Seth for sharing! Incredible and moving.
Has Seth found his mother yet?
This proves your personality is in your DNA!
It's partly DNA and partly environment! Watch the documentary Three Identical Strangers, it explores that idea and it's incredible
The fact that they are both musicians with guitar pick in their pockets...WILD! I love that they met and clicked intstantly!
My dad and I always have a tooth pick.
Loved seeing how supportive his brother was 😊
💯
His face was so childlike when he met his dad 🥹

Hands down the best connection episode I've seen so far.
It was so fun to see them connect and then connect through music!
You betcha!
I watched almost every episode and I was saying the same thing! This was soooo good!!!
And this isn’t even on a main season!
They both had picks in their front right pocket 😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happiness😊😊😊😊
Seth is a great brother, it showed. Bless them all. Great story
How amazing they both had picks in their pockets ❤
Right! It was so fun to see them connect through music!
@@RelativeRace_BYUtvthis was amazing!
Hearing that if your father knew, he would have never give you up, are such healing words
Wow, he looks just like his dad it's crazy that he looked at his dad, like he was looking at himself .
What a beautiful moment. Now he knows how he's gonna look like when he's old(er) .... 🤣🤣😂😂
THATS MY DAD AND GRANDPA MEETING MY UNCLE WE LEARNED ABOUT🩷🩷🩷 he looks so much like my uncle/ my dads brother we lost in 2018🥺💔
I love this for your family! ❤
We loved seeing your dad and grandpa meet hour uncle!!!!
Aww..that was so beautiful seeing him connected with his dad instantly. Family is everything. Love it.❤❤

When dad grabbed his hand to hold while talking on the couch I lost it🥺🥺🥺so happy for y'all ❤❤❤
Handsome young man. He looks so much like his dad. I am glad they found each other. God leads them to each other❤️
These are the types of videos that makes you appreciate social media and the comments that are filled with stories and love ❤️
Thank you so much for watching! We love hearing others stories too! ❤️
The way he was just stuck & stared when Barry said he was his Dad. 😩😭 They look SO much alike, I love how they welcomed him & instantly bonded. Who just randomly has a guitar pick on them?! Hahaha! 🥰
Such an amazing connection between father and son! So cool they both had guitar picks!
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of that. That was beautiful.
So sweet how he isn't letting him go. I hope they build a good relationship music brings everyone together
We loved watching them play guitar together!
What an awesome dad he is!! He made him feel so comfortable ❤
This is my favorite one. I want to see more of Barry and Clinton ❤
It was such an amazing reunion
I love that they’re holding hands!🥹🇨🇦
What a wonderful group of men! So thrilled for each of them. ❤
We are happy for them too!

It really was!
Yep, they were pic ked for each other!! 😁😁
And in the same pocket....

You are their real mother because a mother is not the one who gives birth but the one who invests an entire life raising you!❤

Amazing reunion just love how his father welcomed him in.
Such a beautiful moment! ❤
Seth and Clinton look like paternal twins. The embrace when Seth said I’m your brother.
That was the moment he (Clinton) knew
“everything is going to be ok.”
Seth's family and circle of love just grew.
So magnificent and thank you for sharing
❤❤❤
Wow, I love how the young man and his Dad both carried a pick and love music! That will bring them together much easier!

God is/an on time god o the butey of a fathers heart
I was adopted, I found my real Dad at the age of 19. When I got out of the car that moment was the first time I ever saw someone who looked like me.
I had to watch it twice. Amazing. God Bless the family.
Such a beautiful story! Thanks for watching!
Me too, it was really touching; so happy for them finding each other❤️
The resemblance is amazing...❤❤
❤
The son's best line 8:01. God is good. So true.
The young man is very good looking and seems like an all around great guy. Very happy that they all found each other.

It was such a beautiful moment! We loved bringing together these siblings and dad/son. Thanks for watching!
So happy to see clinton is so happy to meet his dad unexpectedly on that moment...no ill-feel what so ever...seems he was raised well
You are forever changed in a moment like that❤ I found my birth mom and siblings a day before she died - at 59. The only event and experience we had was going to her funeral and burying her with a cross I sent her when I found her in Iowa after accidentally finding out I was adopted at 39. Your journey has ended and I’m so glad beyond words you found your family. OMG - how they love you!!! I love the emblem of true bonding - they had guitar picks in their pockets ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry to hear about your birth mom's passing. Thanks for sharing your story.
I actually have tears. I lost my father in December of 1969. I was 3 1/2 yrs old..
Wow me too 😭
I lost my mom when I was 4 1/2. God bless you
🙏
December 16th, 2024..
What a gift this is…for them , for us. So much crap on the internet then videos like this show up and just cut through it all bringing joy and love in.

Music is the language of the heart. What a beautiful heart connection to witness.
Crying my eyes out!!! So happy for ya’all!!!!

He's a wonderful son, sweet tall boy and how he honoured God that is awesome 👍,there is so much love and joy inside that young man, God bless you and your new family
very happy for you and your family, make me sad a little i wont lie i wish i had a father like that growing up i envy you
I am so happy to watch how the other brother is so happy for this reunion.
He looks so much like his Dad!❤
Beautiful story. Yall enjoy the rest of your life together 💙❤️💙
Clinton is just pretty much like his dad 💙 strong genes he had this dad
I’m so happy for this family ♥️🙏✨ but it also broke my heart for my 30 year old son whose father and family have refused to have anything to do with him.

Agreed!
I was having a rough day today. This just put a huge smile on my face ❤
Glad this put a smile on your face. ❤
So pleased that you connected with the new family and meet your father. What a amazing life ❤😊
Fantastic news God is good! God bless your reunion and family all the day's of your lives together 💞
Great story! I was crying and didn't even realize. I have a little brother my mom gave up for adoption when I was in high school. I pray we get to meet him.
We hope you get to meet him too! ❤
Do you know why she gave him up??
It’s so much more common for the first child to be given up than later ones.
@@wendyannh To be honest, not every woman is meant to be a mother! I pray he was adopted into a great loving family! That was probably the most responsible or generous thing she ever did!
Their voices are identical. I fit right in when I met my paternal birth family. It was insane.
❤❤❤ So glad you fit in with your paternal family.
