@@christineolexa5116 sorry you didn’t get to meet your birth mom. I too didn’t get to meet my biological father. Because of DNA TESTING, my American cousin found me and was very shocked. I’m Canadian. I was very fortunate to get a picture of him and my aunts and uncles. Last night I was feeling, so I looked at his picture for about twenty minutes It felt good to to tell him that he had a daughter in Canada. I’m your age. Time do heal. , but it’s the what ifs. Sorry ❤️
It’s all good. I met mine at 26 yrs old for 4 hours of my life then he passed. He has children. Who through grace of God I have done my best to know him through them- Lemonade where you can squeeze it- In other news… I AM AN AWESOME DAD. My 3 daughters know me and I make it my point to for them to see my face as much as possible- Lord God is Good and even in the Den’s of Lion or Prisons of Joseph. Mercy and Goodness shall follow Lord’s children all the days of their lives.
The whole "I prayed that God would go with you and you would bring joy to your new family" part definitely got me. It's a hard decision to make. One I didn't make but considered. I choose to raise my daughter alone. It's hard, and every day, I pray that God will go with us and help me find the way to give her the best life. The life she deserves because she brings so much joy to me and my family
@tamaranichols2227 lol fr , I be crying in the car sometimes 😂 , naw fr these videos hit home , I got sister I haven't seen since my son was 9 months old and he 22 now , hoping we find each other one day and we can cry together like a mf 😂💯🙏🏽
No one is really a thug🥰 life just throws them a shell to put on for protection that makes them think they are and makes them look like they are a thug. But inside we are all human beings capable of great love, gentleness, kindness, and compassion. It does not take much to put a chink in that armour💕💕💕
What never fails to amaze me is the grace that these grown children display as they hear the stories of how their mother struggled to make the decision that adoption was the best thing they could do for their child. After 9 months of pregnancy, a long delivery - the mothers are already SO in love with their child that it must be so heartbreaking to part with them.
My niece found us after 18 yrs… although we have never physically met… the joy from this video feels the same. Love in abundance and especially praying that God goes & stay with them wherever they are, always! ❤❤❤
@@Jaibuddah I’m a senior who lives in Canada. A few years ago my daughter bought me a DNA kit. My biological father never knew about me. He was a military man and he met my mom while he was stationed in Canada. My cousin happened to take one. She lives in the USA. She contacted me and it was awesome. She was shocked to say the least. ❤️
I love this show so much . I always watch it when I need a reminder that good things happen in this crazy world. Also, it's always there when I need a good cry, lol.
I couldnt possibly cry more tears for this beautiful momma and daughter. Yall bout broke me seriously..just so kind. So full of love. Bith of yall!! Well all 3 really cuz the sister.. oh how sweet she is to support and love and accept everything. Just absolutely the best reunion ive seen ever.
It takes some real and soul deep generosity to be so understanding of your mother’s decisions. You, Maria, have a winning outlook in life and are a blessing to humankind. Sending you heartfelt love and good wishes for your journey in live. May you be happy and blessed for the rest of your days. You are an exemplary woman.
I’ve seen a lot of reunion videos but it hit me on this 1 that babies/children are so vulnerable and helpless, at the mercy of the world. I know it must be really hard for people to give up their children wanting them to have a better life but not knowing if they actually will😞So glad she was adopted by good people.
More than anything I wanted to meet my mother. So at age 23 in 1983 I made the trip to San Diego from Jersey. I even bought a suit. The meet was arranged. Knocked on her door and she answered. She was every bit as beautiful as I was told. The first words out of her mouth were: I have an appointment to get my hair done and only have a minute or two. I responded oh, I understand, no problem. It was nice meeting you. And I left. I was beet red of embarrassment. She really wanted no contact with me or my brothers. Her other sons. We only spoke that one time. And never again. Our Dad raised us by himself. So it doesn’t always go as you had hoped.
🫶🏾 so sorry to read this. Im sending you some virtual “mother’s love”. I have two beautiful, sweet boys and I’m sure they wouldn’t mind me sharing some of the love they receive. ☺️
Thank you for your kind response. You do not miss what you never had. But as I got older and saw the relationships my friends had with their Moms I realized I had missed out on something very special.
@@KT-kb8kh- Your dad is a special man to have brought you up alone. Sounds like your mother is one of those women who should never have children. You are better off without that kind of person in your life.
I’m looking to adopt a child and if God lets me, I’ll want this for my child. To someday meet his biological family and to have a close relationship with them. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about me. It’s about him.
I pray God blesses you with that opportunity. Be patient and have faith especially in those moments when you think it’s not happening when you think it should happen. Raising children is not easy and this video is only one version of a story that we rarely hear about. So be absolutely clear on your expectations of adoptionand may God bless you along the journey to achieving it. God’s Love.
She is the image of her mum. 🙏The mum saying the room felt cold the people felt cold. Stuck a chord with me. I had twins to a black man. In the delivery room the midwives were disgusting to me and my partner- they were cruel. The young intern I knew bc I trained at that hospital with him so he was kind, he was young like me. The obs/ gynae was cold but that was his demeanour anyway and the paed was fine. But the midwives were foul. And I trained at that hospital. I was shocked.But once they saw my black partner wow . Brutally disrespectful. I kept my twins but ended up single mum. But I understood the mums feelings about the delivery room and having mixed children Love this duo ❤ and little sis is sweet ❤
You had kids with a race who has a chip on their shoulders for whites, blames all their problems on white people, you are shocked that white people are cold to you, why wouldn't they be.
Another tearjerker! But what a beautiful story, beautiful women. My imagination or does Maria not have some gorgeous freckles? God bless & stay close.🙏❤️🙏
Man, I tried to stay strong, but when the mom was sharing her story ans saying how hard it was, and all three started crying, I lost it. Am still crying as I write this. God bless them all. ❤
This is absolutely amazing. So happy for the both of them! I know God was the driving force. I hope to one day meet my son who is now 21 years old and to be able to let him know how much he was loved, and thought about by my family. Nicholas if you just happen to see this we love you and would love to meet you again.
The courage of the single mother to give her child for adoption. The miracle and destiny to reunite. The wonderful family who adopted are amazing parents and then the history
A mother's love , she longing and think her baby girl 34 years . Always thinking is "she" ok , did she get adopted to good people, is she happy ? This mother got see baby girl all grown up and happy . She explained why she had to give up for adoption. Now the daughter knows the truth and the mother can be assured she made right decision. 👍♥️
Is this available in New Zealand? I still don’t understand the concept of them racing to find their loved ones. I don’t quite get it. But other than that, everything about this show is perfect. Love the reunions. Brings a special feeling to my heart to see long lost family members together.
This is beautiful because she decided to have this baby (now 40 years old) when she could have simply had an abortion. Praise The lord Almighty God that the mother (Sharon) decided to have this baby and allow someone else to raise her in a home full of love, Amen!!!
Im so glad the mom reconnected with her daughter. Were they ever able to share with the father that he has a daughter out there? It makes sense in the 80s that indeed losing contact could cause a major disconnect. But it would be easier to find him now and it sounds like based on how the mom described him, she was not betting on him being a deadbeat or abandoning/disowning their daughter per se.
First part of 2021 I found out that I have a child I didn't know about. And I am now also a grandfather. The result of a one night stand the last time I was stationed overseas. I can't wait to meet in person. Doing it over Duo/Meet just wasn't enough...
This is one of the first videos ive seen of these reunions where i honestly dont believe the moms side of the story and shes just full of it. But either way wish them the best
Yes she did! Here is a link to watch that reunion: www.byutv.org/a340e948-f3fe-4777-836b-2983a53dc539?player-open=true&content-id=a340e948-f3fe-4777-836b-2983a53dc539&s=1761&e=3294&

We all cry when a mother meets her legacy. She wanted her to have a better life that's understandable.
What a beautiful heart the daughter has❤️
looking just like her mother.. this was sweet.. her baby found her
Omg y’all can’t do this to me, I’m a thug I can’t be crying. I loved how the daughter said it’s okay I’m here now❤❤❤
Hey thugs cry too 💯🙏🏽

😳😭😭😭The genuineness of these three girls brought me to tears. Bless you ladies!
😢😢
Yeah…perfect words. Genuine people are rare.
Wow... the freckles. 💝💝💝 Beautiful beyond words.
Yes.. features of ppl with red haired genes.
She looks just like her mother. Beautiful reunion ❤
Especially with the hair and skin complexion. Dead ringer.
Nah she resembles a skinny Oprah.
@@charliegm6883their skin complexion is obviously different what are you on about hair texture different lol wtf are you talking about
@@charliegm6883because those are the only ways people can look like each other.
@Nat_Turner32 hair texture is different but look like it will start to thin like the mother's own.

You can see mum is chomping at the bit to cuddle her - beautiful !
Maria is an angel. I'm so glad she had a beautiful family and ALLOWED grace to her bio mom.
I love the daughter forgiving to her Mother & saying she has a good Family the best outcome 💖💛♥️
They share the same beautiful heart 🤍 as mother as daughter 🥰
So happy for you both. What a wonderful blessing.
Lord! I am over here just crying! This is a pivotal emotional moment for them both.

Such a sweet reunion. She looks so much like her sister, I would have never thought they weren't actually genetically related.

The hospital needs to stop putting pressure on women to give up their child when they are emotional. Especially, after just giving birth.
Oh my goodness this was absolutely beautiful! ❤😭🙌🏻🥹
Ihr habt euch wieder gefunden, alleine das zählt ❤️, Gottes reichen Segen für euch 🙏❤️🤗.

I can’t imagine having to give up someone that you love more than life itself.
I loved their season!
It was such a great season!
Wow can’t imagine losing contact in the 80s because there wasn’t social media or cellphones to find someone
This is so beautiful. Praise Jah!!
♥️💛💚 Jah bless

She really does...
Praise God. Thank God for love.❤
So beautiful!!!
A young single mother in the 80s was not easy. The father wasn’t even in the picture for child support. She did what she had to
No. The 1980's weren't the 1880's.
Mum made a choice. It may well have been the right choice, but it WAS a choice.
Actions have consequences
God is good. All the time God is good. ✝️
What awesome story.
What a wonderful and sweet family!
What is this show??? ITS INCREDIBLE!! This whole thing was breathtakingly precious to watch ❤️❤️❤️
