You're a great mum Barb. I think I'd feel scared I'd loose their love. You must feel very secure in who you are & your relationship with your girls must be so good. Well done.
I love this story! I just watched your brother's video and then came over here. How wonderful that everything went so well. God bless you and I hope you have long and happy lives together.
I watched Ryan's video and it was really touching. I'm so glad you ended up reuniting, thanks for sharing your side of things. Your family is amazing!!
Such a great story! ❤️😃👍Something similar happened to me but I actually knew my younger brother existed but didn’t know where he was. He found us about 9 years ago. We have different moms though. A very long story.
So happy for you both. I was 18 when i first met my biological mother, it was on the day of my brother's funeral. After that she was gone and never heard from her since then. Oh well
Glad you found each other, I did foster parenting 13 years and have an adopted one girl and she has met her parents and wants nothing to do with them 😊
Ryan did a great job telling his hid! So funny he thought our mom had been pregnant while living with him! He's post a video tomorrow that touches on our reunion story, so check it out! Thanks a ton for watching and commenting!
I remember aobut how I found out about all my half siblings. I was also put up for legal adoption, WITHIN my own family. My mother gave me and two others away for legal adoption to HER mother and her Mother's 3rd husband, so I and two others were raised by my grandmother and stepgrandfather.
Thanks! Interestingly enough, I was attacked by a dog (an Akita) when I was 9. Luckily it was chained up to a tree or it probably could have been worse. I have 2 puncture wounds in my arm/shoulder, so I guess when he lunged at me, I threw my arm up to block him, one tooth must have grabbed my head ripping back and 2 got me in the arm. I was able to roll away. The scar on my head is pretty straight, except for the end closer to my neck, so it can look like I shaved it intentionally. I had 16 staples and it looked pretty gnarly early on. There were many Vanilla Ice references growing up.
So if that brother was put up for adoption, HOW did your mom get in contact with him again, as all the laws that i know of about adoption is that the birth parent is not allowed to contact the kid after its placed for adoption?
Hey there, Lauren. Our father had placed his name on the adoption registry years before. Then when my brother added his name, the registry made the match, notifying both parties that they were eligible to be put into contact with each other. Our father then called our mother to tell her. Thanks for watching!
Great question! So, I (Devon, the older brother) am trying to think of how best to answer this. I think during the first few years after meeting Ryan, I did see him more as a younger brother than I do now. Now, I see him more as my best friend - which he is. Maybe this is a common feeling of brothers as they age? I didn't grow up with a brother, so I don't know. We talk/text with each other several times every day. Our sister and her husband are in the mix as well, as we are all very tight and we think similarly to each other. It really is an amazing experience. Thanks for asking!
I can't imagine that you answer my questions so seriously, you make me feel special. I am very grateful. Your parents made the best decision to have you. @@OurNewLand
Wonderful! Made me emotional too. I have two adopted daughters, and pray that someday they can find their birth parents.
Thank you, Barb! I'm wishing the best for you and your daughters!
You're a great mum Barb. I think I'd feel scared I'd loose their love.
You must feel very secure in who you are & your relationship with your girls must be so good.
Well done.
That’s great! And that your mom had to explain how it happened is precious.❤️🤗🐝
Thank you! We appreciate you watching and for the nice comment!

Such a great story! ❤️😃👍Something similar happened to me but I actually knew my younger brother existed but didn’t know where he was. He found us about 9 years ago. We have different moms though. A very long story.
Oh wow!
What an AMAZING Story!!!! I adopted several children and I am curious what kind of conversations that we will have in the future. :)
Thank you! So happy to hear that!
That would be quite the experience to find out you have a sibling that you knew nothing about.
It's been an amazing experience! It's hard to even put it into words. Thanks for watching!
So happy for you both. I was 18 when i first met my biological mother, it was on the day of my brother's funeral. After that she was gone and never heard from her since then. Oh well
Wow! Families are funny things….
This really is a great story. I am happy that you were all reunited. I am enjoying y'alls channel a lot!

So nice to say! Thank you!
Oh good! Got to hear your side of things. You both seems like great guys. Thanks for connecting these two videos.
Thanks again, Karen. We're glad you liked them!
You look so much like your brother and I just finished your brother's video and right after found you. What a great story

The No Dummy comment made me LOL.
Excellent! If I can bring a smile, I’m happy with that. Thanks for the comment!
Enjoyed both of your stories
Thanks again! We need to do another installment of the About Us story.
Glad you found each other, I did foster parenting 13 years and have an adopted one girl and she has met her parents and wants nothing to do with them 😊
Bless you for that! You hear about that pretty often, and many times it's probably for the best.
Awesome story!

Love you alls story!!! 😊💗
Thank you so much!
Guys love your story.
Thank you so much! It's been a fantastic experience!
Great story. I want to know how you got that scar on the side of your head?
Thanks! Interestingly enough, I was attacked by a dog (an Akita) when I was 9. Luckily it was chained up to a tree or it probably could have been worse.

Loved this…..”How did u have a baby with out me knowing?” 🤣
But really! That was my first thought. Thanks for watching! hahahaha

@@OurNewLand oh so the connection was made after you all were adults. ok. thnx. im so pleased for you!
@@Lauren-vd4qe Thank you! Devon was almost 30 years old when he was reunited with us - his biological family.
So happy for you.👍❤️🇨🇦
Thank you!
Awesome video thanks for sharing this my friend 😀
Thanks for watching!
Wow what a story!!!
Thank you!!
Amazing ❤
Thanks 😄
Thank you so much, Leoniea!
I don't know why this makes me weepy(cry)
Maybe we all need more happy stories! Thank you for watching!
Sure would be a mind-blowing event😵💫 nice got to unite with Devon ☺️
It was! Thank you!
You 2 guys look so much alike you could be twins!! Does your sister look lik you???
I'd say our sister looks more like Devon, and they both take after our maternal grandfather. I take after our paternal grandfather. Thanks for asking!
When your brother sees you, does he feel like he’s seeing his younger self?
Great question! So, I (Devon, the older brother) am trying to think of how best to answer this. I think during the first few years after meeting Ryan, I did see him more as a younger brother than I do now. Now, I see him more as my best friend - which he is.

Your funny! Facial hair...1🤣🤣
So silly looking back, but I guess it was very important to me at that time hahaha! -Ryan
I guess he wanted to know if he was going to grow facial hair too. 😄
Very interesting.
Glad you think so!
You where driving through Marietta Ok in this video
Impressive!
Wow your so like your brother
Haha, pretty similar. Thanks for watching!
to be fair...facial hair is important ;) I used to ask my mom all the time if she was sure I wasn't a twin.
Haha, thank you! I was a late bloomer and around 15 years old my other friends were growing facial hair so I guess I was very concerned!
What made you feel like you were a twin.
Aww
Thanks for visiting our channel!
Sweet….
Thank you very much for watching!

Thank you!!!
