Haimish melted into the little boy he's kept inside his entire life. Reuniting with his mamma was touching, and mamma asking for forgiveness and heart felt sorrow was lovely. I hope they live long and prosper.
I cried the whole time Piki was walking down that wharf! And William is such a kind and gracious man. He could easily have ended the phone call with David and just go on with his life without telling his family about Piki, but he didn't walk away. He realized that this was his daughter as much as the daughters waiting at home for him. He wasn't going to send her away to spend another 20 years wondering about who he was. This is a REAL man, a good man and good father. I hope Piki and her children are part of his family now!
I live in Oldham and I have to say, I can’t believe anyone from here would turn away from such a nice lady, like Fiona/Christine! My half brother lived in Shepparton, Victoria in Australia and though I never met him, we did have some correspondence and that meant the world to me! I had a wonderful friendship with my half sister, who lived with my father, on Arran, Scotland. There was a 20-year difference in our ages and they have both passed away, but I have some very special and loving memories of both my father and my ‘siblings’! These programmes are very special in ‘filling the holes’ in people’s lives, long May they continue!
maggiebeee66 - This is so true. "Filling the holes" or "putting the pieces of the puzzle together" are both terms that I've heard people use. I grew up with my parents so I have no first-hand knowledge of what it's like to not know who you are or where you came from. I think it's very important that all these seekers find their answers and complete the journey to find their missing parent.
My mom spent the last years of her life trying to find her father, just to meet him. I hope these people can find each other, it's about LOVE not retribution. I would be delighted to find out I had unknown relatives, despite HOw they got here. That doesn't matter anymore. This isn't about the circumstances, it's about their EXISTANCE.❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a HORRIBLE woman just making their daughter think that he had abandoned his family! I would NEVER have been able to forgive my mum for that, people like that don´t even deserve to be called human!
@@GailBurfoot their stories don't matter. they lied to their kids and caused them undue heartache and insecurities for their entire lives, and still refuse to tell the truth when asked about it. They may have had perfectly good reasons for breaking off the relationship. Might have even had perfectly valid concerns about their or their child's safety, but that's no excuse for making the kids think their parent willingly abandoned or didn't want them.
Some people grew up like this, not knowing who their natural father or mother was. Imagine a man, shaving himself and thinking "I look like a man that I never met. I have his features, I have his voice, yet I never met him." This must be crushing.
happened to my best friends mom - she finally met her father on ancestry. He abandoned her pregnant mom in northern ireland, he was american peacekeeper and wanted to go back to US. He said he'd regretted it & his own parents nearly disowned him when they found out from a friend,but he had had a family there too so she had lots of new siblings.
My dad searched his entire life for his father, then died age 71. I continued the search using dna. 5 years later I discovered him. Turns out he was the Nextdoor neighbor who my dad actually knew the entire time!
@@SuperNoahsmom Not all Mothers or Fathers behave that way, thank goodness! The war caused my parents to be apart, plus I was an illegitimate child cos my father was married. When I was 17, my father brought my half-sister to visit us and invited us to spend time in Scotland. My mother spent the whole 2 weeks of our stay, caring for my father’s wife, after she had previously suffered a stroke! I might add, that my father paid for my upkeep until I was 16 and never missed a payment! I met his step-children, and we all got on really well so I have had a lot to be thankful for, I was one of the lucky one’s!
I dont want to judge because I don't know what its like to be pregnant to someone I barely know. But it seems cruel not to tell men that they have children and deny them the choice of knowing their children growing up and the children the opportunity to know their dad.
Do you ever do follow-up updates? I’d love to know how the Mauri daughter’s meeting with all her family went. I’m sure they also want privacy, but maybe just a quick update from those who are willing.
My grandfather was adopted as an infant in 1912. Last names were changed on the records. We've tried several times to find his birth family, but never have.
stories like these give me hope that one day i will see my two little brothers again the last time i saw them i was 12 and they where 6 i am now 30 years and they will be 22 we finally found which state they live hopefully i will get to see them soon
Pika's journey, I have a half sister and we look like sisters. She did look like her sisters, a lot whether she believed it or not. We looked so much like our Native mother that a stranger who knew our mother picked my sister out as my mothers daughter from two states away. She had no idea my mother had any daughters.
41:11 Dude. Thats effed up & a very cruel thing to do. You’re gonna give someone a heart attack someday. Broken hearts can only live so long & take so much breaking. I almost had one!
If I were a teenager and pregnant, I would only consent to an open adoption, so the child benefits from the co parenting and that way I could baby sit and visit the child on a regular basis.
dNA can’t about in about 59 but wasn’t used till about till 1987 to identity someone !!! (Colin pitchfork) what do ya think people did before that 🤦♀️🤦♀️😂 birth certs and people word meant everything!!! Why do you think it’s important to have birth certs
@@annedalton289 birth certificates can mean dck all since women can lie about who they fcked and let a poor guy who is not the real father think he is the real father sign the birth certificate
I didn't get that impression at all! I assumed the "contact that has gradually diminished" was probably because the dad knew he was terminal and decided she didn't need to watch him die. Why would you assume the negative???
@@sylvialin6453 Watch the video! The mom and Wayne were seperated, he came often to see his daughters, then one day he came and they had moved, he couldn't find them. Why would he want to see their mother who had taken his daughters away?!?
I did watch through it and loved seeing the reunions. But this video could have been so much better without all the noise. Nothing says "unprofessional" like background noise.
Why don’t people make it known what story or person they are talking about !!! Someone’s post says what a horrible woman and a few other things !!! WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOuT 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️❗️

Who ??? What woman ?
I agree, I would have really stiff talks with my mum if that happened to me. Treason it is, I would loose trust in my mum
@annedalton289 the last two stories. The moms took off with the kids and let them believe they had been abandoned.
We don’t know both sides of their stories. My mom always said there are always two sides of a story and then there is the truth.

Wow! Amazing. Wonder if the person next door knew the whole time he was his son?
For real???😊
Adding this to my list of "things that absolutely did not happen."
It is so Awesome that they are reunited! May God bless them always!
The moment he saw her it was obvious that he knew she was his daughter. The “familiarity” contained within DNA is truly amazing!
The mothers that kept their children separated from their fathers should be ashamed!

Jo, Margo and Donald are off to a wonderful new chapter in their lives!
😢😢😢😢 so happy for piki ❤❤❤ her dad and her looked so happy ❤❤❤
Wow she looks like her Dad!!
I'm from Texas, USA and I LOVE the Australian accent. 😊
The same show in South Africa called khumbulekhaya
Very important always uniting families
Don’t care
@@sensitivegangster162 Then why reply if you don’t care🤷🏽♀️
In French-Canada we have one too, its called Deuxième Chance (second chance).
In Germany, we've got the same kinda show, it's called "Bitte melde Dich" which means please come forward / get in contact.
Good! ❤❤🫂🫂
1:26:28 it's like Gimli the dwarf or Uncle Iroh with the most hearty and warm laugh and hug I've ever seen.

Has dna testing led to any matching people?
Hamish beautiful story 😢😢
My heart breaks for John💔. Knowing he might grow up with out his mum.
stories like these give me hope that one day i will see my two little brothers again the last time i saw them i was 12 and they where 6 i am now 30 years and they will be 22 we finally found which state they live hopefully i will get to see them soon
What wonderful stories❤
Such wonderful stories ❤
Grab the tissuebox...
Bless you beautiful
Her mother knew the adopted mother 😊
😢I was crying 😭

I cried through evey episode.yohhhh
good conversation
WOWWWW
Gladys and Fiona look exactly the same 😮❤❤❤
Fiona's nephew looks just like her

❤arr and he didn't know, that he left her in New Zealand 😢
❤Kim😊
1:01:01 Hamish. He’s a mini her!

Sure thing for these days but that wasn't possible in earlier times.
These people should face up to their behaviour.those who choose to reject their children who they abandoned
do they not DNA test them to be doubly sure??
Sometimes there’s no need to!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

You’re talking for the show… get a DNA test to make sure that’s really their adult child.
He knew .
Did they do a blood test.
We need updates
Fiona's mom was 27 and married, so why did she give birth in a home for unwed mothers?
Fiona was a secret, so maybe an extra marital situation took place?
@@NanetteWoolston She was divorced.
She was wasn’t still married is what I understood.
so a single mother ?
needs to find her father ?
the jokes,write themselves 😎
I feel like the last one (daughter and father) was just checking a box, a simple 'convenience' for the daughter. Kind of sad for the father.
I didn't get that impression at all! I assumed the "contact that has gradually diminished" was probably because the dad knew he was terminal and decided she didn't need to watch him die. Why would you assume the negative???
Wayne Story.
So what actually happened to their mom? See the 2 daughters and their family but without mom. Did i miss something?
no...apparently the parents did'nt divorce for nothing...why should the mother be there?
@@chloeuntrau4588
Thats why im asking..ive no idea they were divorced..thought his wife has passed
@@sylvialin6453
Watch the video! The mom and Wayne were seperated, he came often to see his daughters, then one day he came and they had moved, he couldn't find them. Why would he want to see their mother who had taken his daughters away?!?
@@lovingmayberry307
Im not caucasian..so slang would sometimes be difficult for me to understand..
my knowledge of English is very limited
The mother took his children away from him.
This was his story of finding his daughters again.
The mother wouldn't be involved in this situation.
I did watch through it and loved seeing the reunions. But this video could have been so much better without all the noise. Nothing says "unprofessional" like background noise.
That is probably the person trying to avoid the copy right...
Crying watch the show
57:30 what an awful man. 4 kids!!
I was surprised they didn’t do a DNA test
Blood speaks without test...
IKR
This was before we could go privat DNA. 😊
For whom? Amber? Her Dad had one, he mentioned it.
@@ElaAusDemTal you’re right
No paternity tests to confirm??? The first one said nothing about a dna test... bout to watch the second n third case.
Dave looks like agent 47
DNA will verify the relationship between.
xx
No dna test to make sure that first girl is that guys daughter?
Why can’t we stop giving our children away!?
Because not everyone can take care of their children.
Gladys is a narcissist! Lawrence is a lovely man.
👍👍✨✨🫶
No DNA? The man that you believe is your Dad is here, yet he can't remember being there or being with the woman. Weird
Why such loud, abrasive music?
Can I assume that this show does DNA testing to verify these relations?
Why don’t people make it known what story or person they are talking about !!! Someone’s post says what a horrible woman and a few other things !!! WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOuT 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️❗️
Figure it out. Who cares!?
Bula Hamis
I enjoy these heartwarming stories but hate all this melodrama.
Blocked it from her memory lol typical lying birth mother. Where is the birth father ?
Ridiculous.
Haimish melted into the little boy he's kept inside his entire life. Reuniting with his mamma was touching, and mamma asking for forgiveness and heart felt sorrow was lovely. I hope they live long and prosper.
