  • New Hampshire social worker Kim Fairbank, 51, always knew she was adopted. After a rough childhood of familial disappointments, she yearned to connect with her biological family. She tried DNA testing and waited for answers. It was MyHeritage DNA that brought Kim the match of a lifetime - with her biological father.

    I was given up for adoption when I was a few months old. I met my biological parents when I was 16. I totally understand the nervousness. Wondering if you're going to be accepted by your family. I am thankful to God that I was accepted and stayed close to my Dad until his death in 2012. And I still remain close to my Mom. It is definitely a blessing.

    You can tell how happy he is, just by the time he takes to just look right into there face and soak it in, longer then a typical glance, Its almost like an imprinting moment

    After hugging his grandkids did you hear him say “I am definitely blessed”. And he surely is because he had no other children!,

    It's all heart warming to watch but I got mixed feelings at the end.. The father come across as a fun person and all but his comment "you know, it was one of those things.", made me laugh but at the same time also very sad and I find it also inapropriate as well..

    • @tinataylor3758
      @tinataylor3758 Рік тому

      I don't think it was inappropriate. He didn't say it was a one night stand. Kim understands that her birth parents didn't have a serious or long relationship. The important thing is that he is accepting of her and they seem to be off to a good start. I hope they can find her Mom.

    • @buffalosabresloyalist8913
      @buffalosabresloyalist8913 5 років тому +4

      We cannot be held responsible for the things that someone else did. Prayers that your sister figures that out and salvages the relationship that sisters ought to have.
      Support your husband in his search, the truth sets us free! While his mother told the children not to contact him, she cannot control other adults forever. Curiosity may one day, possibly not until her death, have them reach out to your husband.
      I pray for all of you. May these difficult times lead to more beautiful memories.

    • @mikeelek9713
      @mikeelek9713 2 роки тому

      The reality is that not all of these searches for the bio parents turns out well. Some also reveal family secrets that were meant to stay buried forever.

    • @tinataylor3758
      @tinataylor3758 Рік тому +1

      Yes, it makes you wonder. Did her Mom lie to throw him off if he decided to look for Kim? Or could Kim have a twin; or does her Dad have another child out there? I would say her Mom lied to be the easiest explanation but it's odd coincidence that a psychic said that a son was looking for him.
