It amazes me how “PREGNANT GIRLS” are PUNISHED for CONCEIVING, but “THE BOYS WHO IMPREGNATED them are NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE! I’m glad she and her daughter were reunited.
@A H the Bible was written by men, ancient Arab men. No one think of it like that ever, they prefer to believe it was magically written by God. Many books were written and not included, man chose which books should be included. Yes I know it is Godly inspired but I doubt every word was, it is extremely biased at times and much was lost in translation.
I know people who grew up with both parents always there with them, and for them. But then one or both of their parents would die long before they turned 40. I wish you & your mom a very happy, healthy, loving & prosperous life together, moving forward.
As a foster youth of Mississippi, TODAY-I would say these places where children are treated horribly are more than real. There are at. Least 10 of these places for children. Please pray for those less fortunate here.
Wait I'm from Ms and I was telling my mom we don't have a foster care issue in Mississippi because we have so much family living close by. Thank you for your comment. I had no idea. I'm so sorry for everything you went through. I feel like God has called me to adopt and I can't wait to meet my forever kids.♥️
I found my daughter after 48 years. She could hardly believe it. We talk now and love each other. My family accepts her and her parents and her kids accept me. It's wonderful!
How beautiful!. I'm glad to hear even tho I'm only a stranger. I just couldn't imagine if my daughter was stolen from me as a father. I love my daughter so much and would be devastated and I know a woman who carried and gave birth is way more attached and I just couldn't imagine the type of trauma
My ten year old had his mouth hanging open through half of this program. When they illustrated the moving of girls and selling of babies, he yelled “That’s Human Trafficking!! And kidnapping!” If a ten year old can plainly see it, then these states have no excuse for what they continue to do.
@@jeanieq6153 I agree with you on that. 10 year olds nowadays are exposed to things many of us never heard of when we were 10. I am an old timer . He sounds like a very wise 10 year old.👍🙏🏼✝️♥️
@@xKellogsx Knowledge is power. The internet is not a safe place. Children are connected online to anyone in the world. Discussing with them about strangers in real life and on the internet will better protect them. Kids are growing up very fast because of all this media exposure 24/7. Open dialogue is the best way to keep them safe.
I was in the system January 19, 1985-April 1, 1997. Age 7 1/2-age 19 3/4. Torture was the normal routine back then. I was strong enough to survive, recover, and find my way in life. I'm 44 now. I am doing well, and live a quiet, peaceful life.
Im sorry that happened to you 😭. I work in a group home, I promise you Im there so those kids know someone cares, someone has their best interests at heart. Im not allowed to say "I love you" to them, even though I do love them , very very much. So I do my best to show them.
I believe you and I heard you. I can't believe people treat kids like that. No kid deserrve to be treated badly no matter what. I don't know your pain but I feel enrage by it because you deserved better. I'm happy you are better now and I hope the best for you.
A few months ago my daughter found my mother after 40 years. It wasn’t a story like theirs but my father took me. A year later he passed away and I was with his side of the family. They told me all my life she was on drugs and didn’t wanna see me. But I found out she was looking for me this whole time. I’m so happy to have a loving daughter I’m so blessed she found her grandma. Now I have an entire family with my mom and 2 sisters. Plus now I get to meet the rest of my family. I can understand how the daughter feels . I just haven’t physically seen my mom yet. I’m praying soon.
She was taken to Indonesia and lived for a while as a child in South Africa. Her birth mother could have easily never connected with her had she continued living in a 3rd world country for the rest of her life without Internet or cable. The people operating these homes were NOT Christians but God never forgot about the true Mother & her Child. He brought them back together.
@@tedtvsquad_ so shocking. They’re being sent to my hometown in Louisiana. A person came into my office saying she was adopting one and needed diapers. She said others are coming too. It sounded like they just straight up stole these babies but she was so proud of herself.
So she lost her parents, her grandparent's, her sister, and her daughter. And in an essence, God. I cannot imagine so much loss and still she can tell her story. She is STRONG & BRAVE.
@@JannyMaha if one could have a paradigm shift: these homes are sacrificing babies, just as in Jazabel's day, and now the many abortion clinics. Many boys have suffered at the hands of priests or other abusive men. No one goes unhurt. This is not acceptable in God's sight, nor is it His will. But He can heal the 💔 broken hearted.
BS. Religion is nothing more than a business. Many religions over the years have bought, sold, sexually abused and murdered people, all in the name of God. Just look around you and see who controls religion...it's men. If you actually believe in God and the word of Jesus than you would know that you DO NOT have to have a building to worship God or follow the words of Jesus.
@@mississippimud7046 and a ‘good’ Christian family bought a baby ripped from the womb of her mother. If they hadn’t felt that buying infants was okay, just so long as they raise her Christian, there wouldn’t be such an incentive to steal babies
The doctors that DRUGGED A TEENAGER into falling asleep and not caring about her bodily autonomy is sickening. So much abuse happened to this woman. She is so strong!
Amen! Not for kings or conquest, land or rights or even food has more blood been spilled, more people tortured or killed, more subjugated, more humans burned at the stake or people executed or wars declared in the name of Jesus than any other cause in the history of Mankind
I believe the Bible they claim to use as their instruction manual says a little something about this very type of person. "False prophets" it calls them - ravening wolves in sheep's clothing. Being regarded as the lowest of the low, their hypocrisy ensures them the harshest judgment good ol' Christianity has to offer. So, they got that going for them...which is nice.
My mother got pregnant with my sister in 1951. It was an 'oops' but no one, not even her parents, thought about taking the child away from her. My parents got married in December and my sister was born 5 months later. Not being religious is so much better and less damaging.
@@Linda-hs1lk--Most religion is evil. The Catholic Church has probably killed more people than the Nazis and the Protestant spin-offs are just as bad with their killing women for being witches, child abuse, and prison-like orphanages and homes for disturbed and pregnant teenagers.
My aunt was sent to a home, but not one of these. Thankfully. My mom and my grandma stepped in and took of her baby girl. Such a stigma at the time, for all involved but they did it. I love my cousin so much. She’s like a sister to me. I can’t imagine my life without her.
Found my dad in lockdown, took me 40 years , he has given me 5 brothers & sisters & I have given him 5 grandsons . All of my paternal family have welcomed us in it’s amazing . Thank you ancestry
I did, too. As a mother, I can't imagine the constant heartache & worry that mama must have dealt with every single day while trying to live her life & be a good mother to her other children & then to FINALLY get to meet her daughter so many years later. I wish their families all the best. ❤
So glad she was able to be with her daughter and grandkids. I couldn't even imagine every day, week, month, year, decade just wondering if you will ever see your child again
Thank you! That’s so often the case. I remember feeling so vindicated when my mother had labeled me as such and I read the notes he had made on his home visit (years later). They read, regarding my mother, “the mother is in denial and delusional, with poor reality orientation.” I was taken from the home not because I was “troubled,” but abused by my stepfather, turned out, etc. I wouldn’t testify against my mother for neglect and abuse, despite the charges being true. They weren’t leveled by me, but the state. Today I regret not doing so because it didn’t help her. Survivors, please don’t EVER feel guilty for telling the truth. Your survival skills are brave either way. But I wish I had given my mother the opportunity to change by prosecuting. Now, her denial is so deep there is no help for her. When people are as unaware of what’s socially unacceptable as she is, they need the state, or anyone, to step in and tell them they have to learn.
My moms real mother was forced to give her up by her father (my mom's gramdfather). Her real dad never knew he had a daughter and died 5 years after she was born and her real mother died 15 years after that. Apparently, she had 2 sons and a daughter prior to her death, so my mom was able to find her half brother's and half sister and its so weird how much they all look alike and act alike. I love my Nana (my moms adoptive mom). She has always been an amazing grandmother and I have amazing cousins, but it's nice to know that I have other uncles, cousins, and an aunt who are just like us and biologically related. Her brothers were so excited when they finally met. I actually also found out that our biological great grandfather (my mom's grandfather) was the cook for Al Capone and they have awesome stories about him (our great grandfather) :)
I’m 67 years old grandmother I am still living for the day to find my grandson who is taken away from us just because I was not the right color. Thank you for sharing this story, it made me feel hopeful. God bless.🙏🏾
Color be damned! Some people, I use the term "people" lightly, are just as crooked as a snake. I do pray that you find and are able to keep in your life, your grandson.
Thank y’all all for the prayers, and know that I really needed to see And there are still people’s out there that have faith and believe in our Christ Jesus blessings to you all🤗😇🙏🏾
Ancestry is amazing. I found my birth mother last year and was so scared she didn’t want to have anything to do with me. But I was so wrong. Every single person in that family was so accepting of me. My birth father didn’t want to have anything to do with me because his wife hated my birth mother so he won’t see me. But that’s ok. I was taken from my mother when I was born just like this story and it took me 49 years to get the courage to try and find her. And when I did, it changed my life. Ty Ancestry. My life is complete now and I have an amazing relationship with my birth mother and my sister, who wasn’t given up. They all love me and I love them. She said she never wanted to give me up and had been searching for me all those years too. I’m so happy for this mother and daughter
those Ancestry tests are illegal here in France, but people still buy them via mail. apart from people in search of their biological parents after adoption, anonymous birth, some of those who use those tests are born via sperm donations and they just want to know who they resemble to. all those cases are scealled secret, and it's a shame the administration doesn't give the datas!! joke's on you, administration, because people WILL find the truth anyway.
@@Angelisa461 "because french law", sorry i got no better explanation. to donate organ is anonymous. to donate sperm or ovules is anonymous. to abandon your child at birth is anonymous. they are all legally covered by anonymity. except that a newborn will grow and becomes a PERSON, and it should be illegal to hide personal informations to a person that ask for those! plus, in the case of sperm donation, this can lead to unbeknownst inbreeding. imagine how devastating it can be to realize that a person you're dating/got married to/have children with, is your half sibling ...
The “you weren’t supposed to know what you had” is what put me over the edge. When she said that there are no words to describe the feeling of having your baby taken from you, my first thought was “anguish” and the sound of a mother screaming after finding out they have outlived their child just came through my head and I cried.
And she is right , when anyone looses a child , the hole she is speaking of , it will never fill up unless you give it to God this is one of the most horrible movies I've ever seen
This happens to dairy cows everytime they are forcibly impregnated so we can steal their breastmilk. They and their babies cry for days, after separation on the first day, until they realize its useless. Standard procedure. I hope you don't support that horrible industry or won't in the future. No one deserves this.
What is just as bad is going thru your entire pregnancy knowing that this is going to happen and you have no recourse because you are under age according to state law.
When I was 5 my parents adopted my brother. I began to wonder if I was adopted, too, but I never asked. As I got older the question was still on my mind until I was 14 and accidentally met one of my mother's childhood friends at a department store. The lady came up to me and asked me if I was related to her friend and she said my mom's name. She said I looked exactly like her. Wow! It was such a relief to have the mystery solved. I didn't have to wonder where I came from. I'm 74 now and so many people say I look just like my mother, may she rest in peace. My brother found out about his birth mother and he said that giving him up for adoption was probably the only good thing she ever did. My family was blessed to have him. Best little brother in the world! 💞
@@annarodriguez9868 when I was a infant my dad went to prison and my mom hit the bottle abandoned me when I was 2. Never knew why my aunt had me til I was 12 (I was a burden). I'm 74 now and know that my mother leaving was a blessing in disguise for my older brother and Me bc of her life long alcoholism. Everyone said we looked alike and I thought she was ugly..the few times I saw her in my teens she was always stumbling drunk . So nice to see the mother love of this woman who was treated so horribly with no legal recourse.
aww her baby girl is the splitting image of her... beautiful! im so sad that they missed out on being mother and daughter from birth but the fact that Nancy can be a grandmother, that she can be there to watch her grandbabies grow, is a silver lining... she must love those babies more than anything on earth, its so so great that shes being able to watch her grandbabes grow. she got her baby back plus 2!! great ending to a tragedy that should have NEVER happened
It’s actually pretty typical of what Christian fanatics do. No telling the damage they have done and most are too stupid to know or too selfish to care. Follow the money.
It's disgusting and pathetic how all the pedophiles and rapists and abusers hide behind "God". My father and uncle were victims of the Brooklyn preist abuse also. I recently watched a documentary about the Native American schools in Canada called "Native American Residental Schools. From Wikipedia: "Attendance was mandatory from 1894 to 1947. The network was funded by the Canadian government's Department of Indian Affairs and administered by Christian churches" Native children had to go to these schools to learn English, French and how to be "white" (for lack of better words). The abuse was horrific and centered around sexual abuse. It's on Lifetime Movie Club if you want to watch it.
In 2005 I was in a group home and I got pregnant and if my family hadn’t stepped in I would’ve been sent to a group home where they were going to take my daughter right from birth!! I’m so thankful everyday for my family stepping in!!
This is not how real church is, these people are doing the exact opposite of what Jesus taught, they will be healed accountable for there actions to the girls unless they repent. Jesus taught love and this is not it.
@@aliyah_faith2109 They are doing exactly what God taught. God said worship me or I’ll burn you forever. These people were just using that example, “Do what I tell you to or I’ll cause you pain.”
@@proowagatts9111 God takes justice not people. It says to serve God not people and people are not to judge other people. God was not in this honey. Any of it. Those people never knew him.
I just found my son in January of this year, after looking for him for 37 years using Ancestry DNA. I was pressured by my family as an unwed mother to go to Catholic Charities and adopt him " Or else " and from there, GONE! I have reconnected with him and he is so happy as am I that we found each other. We have not met in person but soon. I would have never found him had it not been for Ancestry DNA. I can't thank them enough. I had every door shut in my face from the State of Virginia and Catholic Charities. I am happy for this lady and her daughter having lived this too.
She would have been a wonderful mother to her daughter, there is nothing but kindnes and love purring out from her♥️I am SO glad that they finally found each other.
@@judymckee5992 doesnt mean she should have had her child taken from her. Lots a teen parents are actually really good parents she wasnt even given the chance
@@Tinaballina7 , Please , In reality her parents have to be the parents ( a parent means somebody who can provide financially, physically to the child ) , the teen cannot be a parent and it takes 2 people, husband and wife. All u people need a brain in my opinion.
@@judymckee5992 yeah but that doesn’t mean that she should’ve had nothing to do with her child’s life. Just because she’s a child that doesn’t mean the state should have a say in what happens to HER child. SHE is the mother, SHE deserves a say.
I'm crying at the end at how wholesome and lovely this ended. They found each other ❤️ I could only imagine how beautiful it must've felt to finally reunite
It made me cry that she said " maybe she is taking her first step" and "she'll be 12 this year"... That is really heartbreaking and tough... As mother I can't imagine feeling that
@@rhondafoster6122 hasnt *been made* yet, the posters are just saying it *should be made into one!* read please..there isn't always going to be a ,*translator* for you. Especially for english to english. Most get frustrated when someone just doesn't READ the very plain truth in from the typing in front of them! I'm one of them!!
I'm so glad Nancy didn't "let it go." (11:50) We need more women like her to realize that speaking up about injustice isn't the same as being unforgiving or "disobedient" to God. Abusers are in the church same as anywhere else and they're counting on women's silence and meekness. It's beautiful that they found each other but their loss and pain are valid. Thank you for reporting this.
I'm glad you two were reunited. My husband just found out last year that he has a 1/2 sister that he never knew existed that his dad had fathered 15 before he was born. She's a welcome addition to our family.
I was a teen Mom. My daughter would have been stripped from me when she was born, had my parents thought me going to a place like this was beneficial. I had my daughter back in 1993, at the age of 17. This breaks my heart knowing that mothers out there were chastised for getting pregnant, yet the fathers walked on like no big deal. For those babies who were desperately wanted, this makes my heart hurt. I sincerely hope more Bethesda Moms can find their children. I love that this Momma and her daughter were able to reconnect. 💗
I’m from a teen mom of the same year. She wasn’t tortured but she was bullied. On top of that the school lied to her telling her being pregnant emancipated her so she would drop out and they didn’t have to deal with it.
I was also a teen mom that gave birth in 1993 at 17 years old, small world. I was actually in foster care myself at the time I had my daughter, thankfully I was with a good foster family that allowed me to stay and raise my daughter until 18 . I feel for this mom, my kids are my world and I would have been devastated had they taken my daughter just because I was in foster care through no fault of my own. Hugs to all the teen moms out there that have struggled ❤️
My mom gave birth to my older brother in '87. She was just 16. Luckily, our dad stuck around and, although they are divorced now, they were able to stay together for 15 years. But I can't imagine the hardships she would have gone through had our dad not been who he is. I was a single mom myself at 20, but the world is so different now, and single moms aren't quite as frowned upon. I'm glad you got to keep your daughter as well!
My heart goes out to you. I was a teen mum in 1988 at the age of 17. My parents weren't really about at the time and my boyfriends Catholic parents wanted to hide my pregnancy and tried to have me locked away with nuns in a home (St Joseph's, I've since seen a book written about the abuse done by nuns in that place) and took me there, they wanted the baby to be adopted out. I though wanted to keep my baby and refused to stay in the home . I said that they could not keep me there and that I would run away if left there so was lucky enough to end up keeping my baby due to my stubborn refusal to comply.
There's nothing more heartbreaking than a mother being separated from her child ..in any situation. The heartbreak for so many women who have been through this is immense. It breaks my heart.
Many of these girls were told that their babies died, so they spent their whole lives with an empty feeling they couldn’t identify, knowing something was wrong but not knowing what it was.
Unless you've experienced every possible situation in the world, you do not know what is the most heartbreaking. You can speak for yourself only. How do you know about what the "most heartbreaking" is for anyone else?
So glad she found her daughter, the injustice that was done to them and so many others is truly heartbreaking. No one should ever experience this. Prayers for anyone and everyone who have gone through this.
@@Sunflowers9191 happened all over the world sadly. Shocking what women had to endure. Poor women. It’s scary because the last institute in Ireland was only shut in 1996. It sounds like a long time ago but it’s only 25 year ago. Thank god things have changed and still are changing x
@@loodyz15 25 years is not a long time at all. It’s a shame how women and pregnant girls are treated, still. In a lot of countries pregnant and unmarried girls are still treated as scum 🙁
Please look up Tuam in Ireland, the nuns starved and mistreated the babies of the unwed mothers, its estimated that at least a million babies were murdered by them. All in the name of religion. In one of the homes in Tuam, the bodies were thrown into the cesspit. It is horrific and the government in Ireland is still doing everything it can to cover it up. They wont even allow the bones to be removed for decent burial. They also sold babies to America. It is a huge scandal rivalling the holocaust and one day it will have to be faced up to. This one cant be blamed on anything the British did, this was Irish people, religion and government. Many of the unwed mothers were impregnated by priests.
You just know. I knew I was having a boy. Had the strangest dream where I looked into the bassinet and saw him. When I had an ultrasound, my baby would kick but wouldn't turn around. I didn't find out until after I gave birth and I was right☺
"They won't take no more from me..." YESSSS INDEED they can’t and won't take no more from you. Your story will help others to have enough strength to finally tell their truth to finally tell their story.

Fathers, who abused the legal system and did cruel, malevolent things in the name of God, one is a pastor and the other one claim to be Christian, punished me because I wouldn't be submissive and a vulnerable single mother like this lady in the video. Me and my children are victims of religious abuse for well over 23 years. Lost alot. Separation from my babies. They deceived to rob me of motherhood for 16 years. Atheist now, use to be believer so I will not be abused. Thank you for your compassion.
@@Freespiritedqueen I'm 😞. I was married to an abuser. Came home to find him with my oldest son against the wall. He was choking him. That was the end. Put his belongings in boxes & placed on the porch. Changed the lock on door. That was 1995. Divorced 1996. No relationship since.
I am the first woman in 3 generations, that got to keep my first born baby. I found my biological grandmother a year ago. It was one of the most healing moments of my life. She had her baby stolen from her and they stole her from me but no matter how many documents they have sealed, we find a way to find our people.
I was born in 1966, given up for adoption as soon as I was born, my biological mother was supposedly born in 1944, both sides of my family are born and live in Kentucky. I've tried sooo many times to find my biological family. I even did 23&me,I found 2 cousins (brother and sister) that I thought would help me, then that changed their minds. One of the cousins said "that side of the family is not the kind of ppl we want to be around" WOW that brought a lot of tears!!! I have given up actively looking but still think about it everyday of my life
oh my gosh I can't imagine the pain that Nancy has carried for all theses years, someone needs to answer for this torture, I'm so glad she finally found her Melanie God bless you all
My uncle did not know he had a son. That son found him...he was so happy. Unfortunately COVID hit and took my uncle before they could meet face to face. I am happy he was able to speak to him and know that he was also a grandfather but he never got to hold his baby boy.
I cry almost everynite I never to live being feats for the rest my life I was only lucky child and two brothers really hate me until im gone it really hurts my heart to this day ill never bring back my smile only for my grandparents has had the dreams on little farm for me I have really had a good childhood life although I never want to face a really scary life to the future get to meet another brother at visit was to say hes the bad killer in a movie guess to a so call father I had never met in my life so my life live fear until its my time to go home with Jesus I never had ask to be born to unfair childhood life😭😭😭😭😭
I have 3 boys and the thought of someone taking one of them takes my breath away. I can't imagine that type of pain. This poor woman. She made a cake every year for her baby girl. That makes me want to cry. She's such a beautiful lady. Her mom I'm sure is so proud.
This story illustrates a not so loving way to help a pregnant teen girl. She had no family to turn to in keeping her child. Others made decisions for her and cohesion was applied to conform to the rules. But there is redemption in her story. An orphan herself was being cared for. She was not forced to abort and gave life to her child which was then adopted into a good family. The best part was the Mother/Daughter reunion and the longing they had to see one another. They got closure and were blessed. A beautiful love story.
I found out I was adopted at 20. Met my biological mother a year after, now at 32 still haven’t met my biological father…. I cried so much during this video, felt it to the core.. it’s a everlasting pain…
My son's biological father passed away when my son was 10 months old. We have an 'open adoption' but his mom is incarcerated. Not sure how to bring up any of this to my son, who's 3. Could you tell me -- how do I do this right, and honorably?
@@skatergirl6764 I don't have a lot of answers to your question, but one thing I would say is don't wait until your son is older to tell him he is adopted. I was adopted by my dad and I had always been told as far back as I can remember that that was the case. It's a shock when a child is a teenager for example and then is told or even a younger child could have problems with having not known beforehand, even if they don't completely understand what it all means. At least they know, and have been told from the beginning, and that's the important part.
@@skatergirl6764 or gently let her know that they where adopted but th finer details leave out until they're older ie "mom incarcerated" and let them know they are loved and you wanted them
@@skatergirl6764 hey, I don’t know if I can answer your question the right way but I’ll say this be gentle with your child. Tell him slowly but tell him the truth, if you can put him in therapy (someone that understands adoption). I hope this helped.
I’m so happy they were reconnected. Last year I found my 42 year old brother that my Dad had been looking for his whole life. It was an incredible feeling, I can’t explain the emotions and how insanely amazing it felt when you’re finally all together. I’m so happy to have found him, and we’re all extremely close. The only thing that upsets me is the lost time. He has four kids, 18, 17, 13, and 3. The 3 year old was a surprise, but we joke and say she came out so we could at least enjoy one grandchild/niece grow up from toddler to adult lol! Genetics is crazy too, the similarities we all have is so beyond bizarre.
SUCH A SAD STORY....SO GLAD THAT MOTHER AND DAUGHTER GET TO BE TOGETHER AND TO STAY IN TOUCH! I'M SO HAPPY FOR THEM! THANK YOU GOD FOR KEEPING HOPE ALIVE FOR BOTH OF THEM!😇💕💞💖🙏🤲💟💝
I think you missed the clue. It was Elvis . Elvis kept the hope alive , God is the name of the racket, Roloff homes & the Bedesda home for girls the traffic agents. May Satin dry ther tears and soften your pajama.
I cried so bad for this lady and her daughter I thank God for connecting them back took such a long time God knows what she went through I can’t imagine someone taking my babies and not knowing what happened to them. Sending love and light to everyone affected
crazy, can’t imagine having your baby stolen. but thank god that lady’s heart was in the right place and her daughter didn’t give up and they have each other now
I am 41, I'd do anything to hug my son. He was 5 the last time I saw him. My frst husband was 9 years my senior.. I was 17 when we got married. He took my child in divorce and he was sheltered by his family who are quite well off. I have cried so many tears.
My father did all he could to make me and my siblings hate out mother. It never worked. Hopefully one day he will realize the great injustice done to not only you but to himself and all will be rectified. I ended up hating my father for the longest time learning his lies
When I was 18 I found out that I have a brother. My wicked Catholic grandmonster sent my mom to Nebraska ( huge child trafficking problem 😮 ) to a catholic home for unwed mothers. Her son was taken after her being able to spend one day with him. My mothers best friend was with her the first night my mom didn't have her baby boy. She recalls to this day hearing my mom sob all through the night. Maybe doing the DNA thing is a good idea! ✌️❣️
You 100% have the chance to find your brother. Take a DNA test that attached you to a public DNA database (23&Me, Ancestry DNA for example). Perhaps your brother has already added his DNA searching for you!
@@JenSell1626 I don't trust those companies. My sister was adopted and she did get to meet her birth mom and half brother but she never got to ask her birth mom about her bio father. She's reluctant to do the DNA tests too.
As a Christian, it saddens and upsets me that, in Christ's name, this kind of abuse took place. I hope others watching this don't confuse rabid religion with the transforming grace of Jesus. "By their fruits ye shall know them," as Jesus so truly said.
The love of Jesus Christ couldn't be further from the wickedness and atrocities that people have done "in His name". It hurts me so much, so I can only imagine how much it breaks the heart of God to see people misappropriating His name for all manner of unrighteousness 😓
Frankly I’m tired of Christians saying “those aren’t real Christians” They think they are. That’s enough. I wish y’all would do something about evangelists and fanatics. But they are taking over at least half of the US.
In November 2021 my friend was reunited with her son after 45 years. She was 17, still in high school when he was born. She never saw or held him. He found her (after his adoptive parents had died) through a DNA registry that linked him to one of her other sons. Although hers was a willing adoption, she now feels complete and is nurturing the relationship with him and his little kids 🤗👍🥰
A willing adoption isn’t the same as wanted one. The only other option is shame for many of these mothers-shame dealt by warped Christian thinking. No shame for the father. If only there were a permanent visible mark on the forehead for every baby conceived and walked away from by a deadbeat dad.
I do too. Likewise, been a DV victim of this for 23 years. My daughter's father is a Reverend/Pastor and robbed me of custody of my daughter. MS courts and LEO colluded with him to abuse and keep me from her. I stood no chance against them. I told them what was going on and they never believed me or my daughter. They all sabotaged my chance of getting her back since he didn't want to pay child support. My son's father used being a Christian to get custody of him 16 years ago while pregnant. Both fathers of children conspired together separating my kids 16 years apart. I haven't recovered yet. I was a Christian...not anymore. My own mother was mommy dearest as a Christian and the church members of different churches I attended over the years threw me and my babies to the wolves and left me to fend for me and my kids. I am atheist also now! Never went back to those cults and you can't pay me enough to go back. That lady is right..." I CAN'T LET GO". It haunts you as the mother to be cheated, denied, to robbed of motherhood. Nobody has helped me but helped the fathers comment atrocious in God's name. Went to court alone for 16 years to fight alone.
There's millions of cases of cruelty on this level. I was adopted out for 10 days as a baby. Thankfully my mum fought and won. Beautiful story thank you for sharing.
Her story is so heartbreaking, I can feel the hurt and sadness through the screen. I’m so glad she was finally reunited with her baby girl (who looks just like her!)
When they hugged and she cried, I cried. I cannot ever imagine being forced to give my children up and not being able to watch them grow. Then to finally meet them 40 years later. So much missed. But finally together.
I cried too. I don't know but I can feel her mother pain for not seeing her growing 💔 😢 😔 😪. But, I'm glad that they found its other because not all are lucky to see their family.
I hope, pray and fast that this woman and her daughter build a loving and potent bond with each other for the next 42 years to makeup for the 42 years apart from each other.🕊🙏
I’m so glad I was born in a time where I had the choice to do what I wanted when I got pregnant as a teen. My son is now 20 and I raised him on my own. He’s an amazing young man. I couldn’t imagine him being ripped from me.
Sadly, I think that this poor woman has blocked out most of her delivery. She knew that she had delivered a little girl and if nobody told her, she probably witnessed it all, but mentally has blocked it out due to trauma.
See, he The Pastor died in a "plane crash" and that "not" the way God want us to go! And, he was selling those babies because there was no law back in that time and state. Her mother really wanted her child! 💯
Dear God, What that poor woman went through and those child slaves. God Bless her and her daughter and grand daughters and family I truly hope she can be happy finally. And God will judge those who are responsible you can be sure of that. There suffering will never end.
Yes...Jesus is very angry when His children get abused by Evil people . These Evil religious people will be judged. They will not get away.... Thank you King Jesus that you will take care of those people who abuses these precious children...
This woman has EXPERIENCED what a African American slave has EXPERIENCED when losing their children in the SLAVE TRADE! It's "Horribe it's all Horrible" Peace from Ethiopia..
Let’s not forget Laura silisby the missionary and group that went to Haiti and tried kidnapping hatisn children after the earthquake / all the worst situations come from and throughout church’s .
It amazes me how “PREGNANT GIRLS” are PUNISHED for CONCEIVING, but “THE BOYS WHO IMPREGNATED them are NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE! I’m glad she and her daughter were reunited.
Right? UGH 😒
It’s really unfair. Guys can just run away, while girls are stuck with all the blame. Even though they should both be equally held accountable.
🎯🎯
I wrote the same thing, always the girl, any baby is a blessing. She looks so much like her mom.
@A H the Bible was written by men, ancient Arab men. No one think of it like that ever, they prefer to believe it was magically written by God. Many books were written and not included, man chose which books should be included. Yes I know it is Godly inspired but I doubt every word was, it is extremely biased at times and much was lost in translation.
I found my mother when I was 40. We spoke for the first time on my 41st birthday. It was awesome.
That's wonderful. 🥰
I'm glad you found your mother.
Hope you can spend the time as much as you can.
I know people who grew up with both parents always there with them, and for them. But then one or both of their parents would die long before they turned 40.
I wish you & your mom a very happy, healthy, loving & prosperous life together, moving forward.
Wait is this your mama in this video?
I found both my birth mother and father in 1985 when I was 21. They had married two years after my birth. I had a younger sister and brother
As a foster youth of Mississippi, TODAY-I would say these places where children are treated horribly are more than real. There are at. Least 10 of these places for children. Please pray for those less fortunate here.

How beautiful!. I'm glad to hear even tho I'm only a stranger. I just couldn't imagine if my daughter was stolen from me as a father. I love my daughter so much and would be devastated and I know a woman who carried and gave birth is way more attached and I just couldn't imagine the type of trauma
God bless you.
How wonderful, God Bless you.

I found my son in January after 37 years of searching.
My ten year old had his mouth hanging open through half of this program. When they illustrated the moving of girls and selling of babies, he yelled “That’s Human Trafficking!! And kidnapping!” If a ten year old can plainly see it, then these states have no excuse for what they continue to do.
Smart and raising him well.
hmm not sure a ten year old should know about human trafficking!
@@xKellogsx 10 Year olds are being trafficked. Maybe knowing about it helps them protect themselves.
@@jeanieq6153 I agree with you on that. 10 year olds nowadays are exposed to things many of us never heard of when we were 10. I am an old timer . He sounds like a very wise 10 year old.👍🙏🏼✝️♥️
@@xKellogsx Knowledge is power. The internet is not a safe place. Children are connected online to anyone in the world. Discussing with them about strangers in real life and on the internet will better protect them. Kids are growing up very fast because of all this media exposure 24/7. Open dialogue is the best way to keep them safe.
When she started talking about her daughter starting school, baking a cake on her birthday and such, I lost it.
Same. This whole thing is heart shattering. I cant even
For me it was when the daughter choked up and couldn't speak. So much pain caused to innocent people, for no good reason whatsoever 😪

I was in the system January 19, 1985-April 1, 1997.
Age 7 1/2-age 19 3/4.
Torture was the normal routine back then. I was strong enough to survive, recover, and find my way in life.
I'm 44 now. I am doing well, and live a quiet, peaceful life.
Im sorry that happened to you 😭. I work in a group home, I promise you Im there so those kids know someone cares, someone has their best interests at heart. Im not allowed to say "I love you" to them, even though I do love them , very very much. So I do my best to show them.
Blessings to you.

God bless you.
A few months ago my daughter found my mother after 40 years. It wasn’t a story like theirs but my father took me. A year later he passed away and I was with his side of the family. They told me all my life she was on drugs and didn’t wanna see me. But I found out she was looking for me this whole time. I’m so happy to have a loving daughter I’m so blessed she found her grandma. Now I have an entire family with my mom and 2 sisters. Plus now I get to meet the rest of my family. I can understand how the daughter feels . I just haven’t physically seen my mom yet. I’m praying soon.
God bless you & your mum
i’m glad she at least was adopted into a good family. sadly not all babies are adopted into loving and safe homes.
My cousin was not adopted into a nice home, my aunt was 17 when he was taken. So sad. He's doing fine with a family of his own.
Yes, but, that still doesn’t make it right.
She was taken to Indonesia and lived for a while as a child in South Africa. Her birth mother could have easily never connected with her had she continued living in a 3rd world country for the rest of her life without Internet or cable. The people operating these homes were NOT Christians but God never forgot about the true Mother & her Child. He brought them back together.
@@casandra750 "He brought them back together" - Amen 🙏
@@tedtvsquad_ so shocking. They’re being sent to my hometown in Louisiana. A person came into my office saying she was adopting one and needed diapers. She said others are coming too. It sounded like they just straight up stole these babies but she was so proud of herself.
So she lost her parents, her grandparent's, her sister, and her daughter. And in an essence, God.
I cannot imagine so much loss and still she can tell her story.
She is STRONG & BRAVE.
She was trafficked as well as her child.🤦🏼♀️
It was "free will" of the people who took the baby and God, who reunited them but yes, I'm sure she felt god abandoned her too, so sad!!
❤
@@JannyMaha if one could have a paradigm shift: these homes are sacrificing babies, just as in Jazabel's day, and now the many abortion clinics. Many boys have suffered at the hands of priests or other abusive men. No one goes unhurt. This is not acceptable in God's sight, nor is it His will. But He can heal the 💔 broken hearted.
@@AnimalLover-nn9ym idk what Bible is that. That must be the devil's book cause it was not God.
This kidnapping had nothing to do with God it was all about GREED .
BS. Religion is nothing more than a business. Many religions over the years have bought, sold, sexually abused and murdered people, all in the name of God. Just look around you and see who controls religion...it's men. If you actually believe in God and the word of Jesus than you would know that you DO NOT have to have a building to worship God or follow the words of Jesus.
How Can You Be So Sure?

Agree 100%
I believe the Bible they claim to use as their instruction manual says a little something about this very type of person. "False prophets" it calls them - ravening wolves in sheep's clothing. Being regarded as the lowest of the low, their hypocrisy ensures them the harshest judgment good ol' Christianity has to offer. So, they got that going for them...which is nice.
@@erichkorman710 That's not true.
My mom was sent to a home like this when she got pregnant with my sister in 1973. She thankfully left that home with her baby!
Well your mother was very lucky she had some place to go or someone to help her.
My mother got pregnant with my sister in 1951. It was an 'oops' but no one, not even her parents, thought about taking the child away from her. My parents got married in December and my sister was born 5 months later. Not being religious is so much better and less damaging.
I am so glad your sister left the home with her baby.
@@Linda-hs1lk--Most religion is evil. The Catholic Church has probably killed more people than the Nazis and the Protestant spin-offs are just as bad with their killing women for being witches, child abuse, and prison-like orphanages and homes for disturbed and pregnant teenagers.
My aunt was sent to a home, but not one of these. Thankfully. My mom and my grandma stepped in and took of her baby girl. Such a stigma at the time, for all involved but they did it. I love my cousin so much. She’s like a sister to me. I can’t imagine my life without her.
Found my dad in lockdown, took me 40 years , he has given me 5 brothers & sisters & I have given him 5 grandsons . All of my paternal family have welcomed us in it’s amazing . Thank you ancestry

The best part ( this mother never stop looking for her )😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
So glad she was able to be with her daughter and grandkids. I couldn't even imagine every day, week, month, year, decade just wondering if you will ever see your child again
Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!
This was normal in slavery, but they're told to get over it hmmm 🤔
They’re not “troubled teens” ! Just brainwashed parents who labeled them as such and put them into this terrible places
IMAGINE!!!!!
Yeh the “troubled” are the sickos running these human trafficking schemes under the claim of “religion”! No better then the Taliban!!!
Thank you! That’s so often the case. I remember feeling so vindicated when my mother had labeled me as such and I read the notes he had made on his home visit (years later). They read, regarding my mother, “the mother is in denial and delusional, with poor reality orientation.” I was taken from the home not because I was “troubled,” but abused by my stepfather, turned out, etc. I wouldn’t testify against my mother for neglect and abuse, despite the charges being true. They weren’t leveled by me, but the state. Today I regret not doing so because it didn’t help her. Survivors, please don’t EVER feel guilty for telling the truth. Your survival skills are brave either way. But I wish I had given my mother the opportunity to change by prosecuting. Now, her denial is so deep there is no help for her. When people are as unaware of what’s socially unacceptable as she is, they need the state, or anyone, to step in and tell them they have to learn.
My moms real mother was forced to give her up by her father (my mom's gramdfather). Her real dad never knew he had a daughter and died 5 years after she was born and her real mother died 15 years after that. Apparently, she had 2 sons and a daughter prior to her death, so my mom was able to find her half brother's and half sister and its so weird how much they all look alike and act alike. I love my Nana (my moms adoptive mom). She has always been an amazing grandmother and I have amazing cousins, but it's nice to know that I have other uncles, cousins, and an aunt who are just like us and biologically related. Her brothers were so excited when they finally met. I actually also found out that our biological great grandfather (my mom's grandfather) was the cook for Al Capone and they have awesome stories about him (our great grandfather) :)
@Macky Rest assured this does not happen as frequently as it did 30 or 40 years ago. Just more propaganda to turn young people against Christ.
I’m 67 years old grandmother I am still living for the day to find my grandson who is taken away from us just because I was not the right color. Thank you for sharing this story, it made me feel hopeful. God bless.🙏🏾

Thank y’all all for the prayers, and know that I really needed to see And there are still people’s out there that have faith and believe in our Christ Jesus blessings to you all🤗😇🙏🏾
Ancestry is amazing. I found my birth mother last year and was so scared she didn’t want to have anything to do with me. But I was so wrong. Every single person in that family was so accepting of me. My birth father didn’t want to have anything to do with me because his wife hated my birth mother so he won’t see me. But that’s ok. I was taken from my mother when I was born just like this story and it took me 49 years to get the courage to try and find her. And when I did, it changed my life. Ty Ancestry. My life is complete now and I have an amazing relationship with my birth mother and my sister, who wasn’t given up. They all love me and I love them. She said she never wanted to give me up and had been searching for me all those years too. I’m so happy for this mother and daughter
Lovely story!
those Ancestry tests are illegal here in France, but people still buy them via mail. apart from people in search of their biological parents after adoption, anonymous birth, some of those who use those tests are born via sperm donations and they just want to know who they resemble to. all those cases are scealled secret, and it's a shame the administration doesn't give the datas!! joke's on you, administration, because people WILL find the truth anyway.
@@Ysckemia why is it illegal there?
@@Angelisa461 "because french law", sorry i got no better explanation. to donate organ is anonymous. to donate sperm or ovules is anonymous. to abandon your child at birth is anonymous. they are all legally covered by anonymity. except that a newborn will grow and becomes a PERSON, and it should be illegal to hide personal informations to a person that ask for those!
plus, in the case of sperm donation, this can lead to unbeknownst inbreeding. imagine how devastating it can be to realize that a person you're dating/got married to/have children with, is your half sibling ...
I found my brother through ancestry DNA.
The “you weren’t supposed to know what you had” is what put me over the edge. When she said that there are no words to describe the feeling of having your baby taken from you, my first thought was “anguish” and the sound of a mother screaming after finding out they have outlived their child just came through my head and I cried.
And she is right , when anyone looses a child , the hole she is speaking of , it will never fill up unless you give it to God this is one of the most horrible movies I've ever seen
This happens to dairy cows everytime they are forcibly impregnated so we can steal their breastmilk. They and their babies cry for days, after separation on the first day, until they realize its useless. Standard procedure.
I hope you don't support that horrible industry or won't in the future. No one deserves this.

What is just as bad is going thru your entire pregnancy knowing that this is going to happen and you have no recourse because you are under age according to state law.

As soon as her daughter came on screen I couldn’t hold the tears back anymore. She looks just like her.
When I was 5 my parents adopted my brother. I began to wonder if I was adopted, too, but I never asked. As I got older the question was still on my mind until I was 14 and accidentally met one of my mother's childhood friends at a department store. The lady came up to me and asked me if I was related to her friend and she said my mom's name. She said I looked exactly like her. Wow! It was such a relief to have the mystery solved. I didn't have to wonder where I came from. I'm 74 now and so many people say I look just like my mother, may she rest in peace.

Everyone said we looked alike and I thought she was ugly..the few times I saw her in my teens she was always stumbling drunk .
So nice to see the mother love of this woman who was treated so horribly with no legal recourse.
Unfortunately!
aww her baby girl is the splitting image of her... beautiful! im so sad that they missed out on being mother and daughter from birth but the fact that Nancy can be a grandmother, that she can be there to watch her grandbabies grow, is a silver lining... she must love those babies more than anything on earth, its so so great that shes being able to watch her grandbabes grow. she got her baby back plus 2!! great ending to a tragedy that should have NEVER happened

It's disgusting and pathetic how all the pedophiles and rapists and abusers hide behind "God". My father and uncle were victims of the Brooklyn preist abuse also.
I recently watched a documentary about the Native American schools in Canada called "Native American Residental Schools. From Wikipedia: "Attendance was mandatory from 1894 to 1947. The network was funded by the Canadian government's Department of Indian Affairs and administered by Christian churches"
Native children had to go to these schools to learn English, French and how to be "white" (for lack of better words). The abuse was horrific and centered around sexual abuse. It's on Lifetime Movie Club if you want to watch it.

I was pressured by my family as an unwed mother to go to Catholic Charities and adopt him " Or else " and from there, GONE! I have reconnected with him and he is so happy as am I that we found each other. We have not met in person but soon. I would have never found him had it not been for Ancestry DNA.

I'm glad you two were reunited. My husband just found out last year that he has a 1/2 sister that he never knew existed that his dad had fathered 15 before he was born. She's a welcome addition to our family.
I was a teen Mom. My daughter would have been stripped from me when she was born, had my parents thought me going to a place like this was beneficial. I had my daughter back in 1993, at the age of 17. This breaks my heart knowing that mothers out there were chastised for getting pregnant, yet the fathers walked on like no big deal. For those babies who were desperately wanted, this makes my heart hurt. I sincerely hope more Bethesda Moms can find their children. I love that this Momma and her daughter were able to reconnect. 💗
I’m from a teen mom of the same year. She wasn’t tortured but she was bullied. On top of that the school lied to her telling her being pregnant emancipated her so she would drop out and they didn’t have to deal with it.
My aunt had her first as a teen 40 years ago, she did go to a home like this but she was able to keep her child
I was also a teen mom that gave birth in 1993 at 17 years old, small world. I was actually in foster care myself at the time I had my daughter, thankfully I was with a good foster family that allowed me to stay and raise my daughter until 18 . I feel for this mom, my kids are my world and I would have been devastated had they taken my daughter just because I was in foster care through no fault of my own. Hugs to all the teen moms out there that have struggled ❤️
My mom gave birth to my older brother in '87. She was just 16. Luckily, our dad stuck around and, although they are divorced now, they were able to stay together for 15 years. But I can't imagine the hardships she would have gone through had our dad not been who he is. I was a single mom myself at 20, but the world is so different now, and single moms aren't quite as frowned upon. I'm glad you got to keep your daughter as well!
My heart goes out to you. I was a teen mum in 1988 at the age of 17. My parents weren't really about at the time and my boyfriends Catholic parents wanted to hide my pregnancy and tried to have me locked away with nuns in a home (St Joseph's, I've since seen a book written about the abuse done by nuns in that place) and took me there, they wanted the baby to be adopted out. I though wanted to keep my baby and refused to stay in the home . I said that they could not keep me there and that I would run away if left there so was lucky enough to end up keeping my baby due to my stubborn refusal to comply.
There's nothing more heartbreaking than a mother being separated from her child ..in any situation. The heartbreak for so many women who have been through this is immense. It breaks my heart.
After she’s been ripped from her own family no less!
Many of these girls were told that their babies died, so they spent their whole lives with an empty feeling they couldn’t identify, knowing something was wrong but not knowing what it was.
Unless you've experienced every possible situation in the world, you do not know what is the most heartbreaking. You can speak for yourself only. How do you know about what the "most heartbreaking" is for anyone else?
@@TheVeek192 ok you don’t have to be so literal 🙄
I can literally feel my heart breaking when i think about being separated from my kids for even a day
So glad she found her daughter, the injustice that was done to them and so many others is truly heartbreaking. No one should ever experience this. Prayers for anyone and everyone who have gone through this.
If you think this is bad, read about what happened to “unwed” mother’s in Ireland. Probably all over the world. My heart goes out to this woman…
Omg yes. Have you seen the movie the magdalene sisters? So sad but an amazing watch
This happened in the Netherlands as well, a couple of years ago a lot of women who went through this took the government to court to get justice
@@Sunflowers9191 happened all over the world sadly. Shocking what women had to endure. Poor women. It’s scary because the last institute in Ireland was only shut in 1996. It sounds like a long time ago but it’s only 25 year ago. Thank god things have changed and still are changing x
@@loodyz15 25 years is not a long time at all. It’s a shame how women and pregnant girls are treated, still. In a lot of countries pregnant and unmarried girls are still treated as scum 🙁
Please look up Tuam in Ireland, the nuns starved and mistreated the babies of the unwed mothers, its estimated that at least a million babies were murdered by them. All in the name of religion. In one of the homes in Tuam, the bodies were thrown into the cesspit. It is horrific and the government in Ireland is still doing everything it can to cover it up. They wont even allow the bones to be removed for decent burial. They also sold babies to America. It is a huge scandal rivalling the holocaust and one day it will have to be faced up to. This one cant be blamed on anything the British did, this was Irish people, religion and government. Many of the unwed mothers were impregnated by priests.
I found my sister at age 64, we can’t get those years back but we are going to make the rest amazing
So happy for you! 😄🎉
"How did you know you had a little girl, you weren't supposed to know that" HEARTBREAKING 🤧😥
That’s pure evil right there.
You just know. I knew I was having a boy. Had the strangest dream where I looked into the bassinet and saw him.
When I had an ultrasound, my baby would kick but wouldn't turn around. I didn't find out until after I gave birth and I was right☺
Wonderful ending to a decades long heartache. I wish all of these folks much love, happiness and togetherness.
"They won't take no more from me..." YESSSS INDEED they can’t and won't take no more from you. Your story will help others to have enough strength to finally tell their truth to finally tell their story.
I cried so much over this video. How can people be so wicked to precious children?
He said it was legal to sell babies in Mississippi until 2009 4:24 . If we are an actual Nation and not just a union of separate states there must be federal laws about alot of things.
I was SHOCKED to hear that this was legal up until just a few years ago, my heart breaks for all the victims.
I was shocked!
I am from Mississippi and I can’t believe that!!!
Now they just abort them. ..
Heart breaking. Glad they found each other!
God bless everyone who has lost their baby. I can't imagine the heart ache
Bless them but don't send a messenger.
😪😪 lost two
@@Freespiritedqueen I'm so sorry. God bless you & praying he blesses you with a healthy child
@@mindyspencer412 Lol, no lost custody of two..my oldest is 23 and the youngest is a teen. Fathers, who abused the legal system and did cruel, malevolent things in the name of God, one is a pastor and the other one claim to be Christian, punished me because I wouldn't be submissive and a vulnerable single mother like this lady in the video. Me and my children are victims of religious abuse for well over 23 years. Lost alot. Separation from my babies. They deceived to rob me of motherhood for 16 years. Atheist now, use to be believer so I will not be abused. Thank you for your compassion.
@@Freespiritedqueen I'm 😞. I was married to an abuser. Came home to find him with my oldest son against the wall. He was choking him. That was the end. Put his belongings in boxes & placed on the porch. Changed the lock on door. That was 1995. Divorced 1996. No relationship since.
I am the first woman in 3 generations, that got to keep my first born baby. I found my biological grandmother a year ago. It was one of the most healing moments of my life. She had her baby stolen from her and they stole her from me but no matter how many documents they have sealed, we find a way to find our people.
I was born in 1966, given up for adoption as soon as I was born, my biological mother was supposedly born in 1944, both sides of my family are born and live in Kentucky. I've tried sooo many times to find my biological family. I even did 23&me,I found 2 cousins (brother and sister) that I thought would help me, then that changed their minds. One of the cousins said "that side of the family is not the kind of ppl we want to be around" WOW that brought a lot of tears!!! I have given up actively looking but still think about it everyday of my life
oh my gosh I can't imagine the pain that Nancy has carried for all theses years, someone needs to answer for this torture, I'm so glad she finally found her Melanie God bless you all
Whoop
A mother’s love can’t be matched. 🤝🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Such a blessing for them both!
But it doesn't mean it has to be a biological mother, I am sure you believe.
My uncle did not know he had a son. That son found him...he was so happy. Unfortunately COVID hit and took my uncle before they could meet face to face. I am happy he was able to speak to him and know that he was also a grandfather but he never got to hold his baby boy.
That is sad.🌻
I'm glad she found her daughter. I'm also glad her daughter went to a good family.
Still scares for my life I can read through the lines im not a fool just they think I am
I cry almost everynite I never to live being feats for the rest my life I was only lucky child and two brothers really hate me until im gone it really hurts my heart to this day ill never bring back my smile only for my grandparents has had the dreams on little farm for me I have really had a good childhood life although I never want to face a really scary life to the future get to meet another brother at visit was to say hes the bad killer in a movie guess to a so call father I had never met in my life so my life live fear until its my time to go home with Jesus I never had ask to be born to unfair childhood life😭😭😭😭😭
Me too
Nancy is a beautiful soul just listening to her , she talk so truthfully I hope her daughter loves her always
Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. So happy that Nancy finally found her baby.
I have 3 boys and the thought of someone taking one of them takes my breath away. I can't imagine that type of pain. This poor woman. She made a cake every year for her baby girl. That makes me want to cry. She's such a beautiful lady. Her mom I'm sure is so proud.
Hello ,👋 how are you doing?
This story illustrates a not so loving way to help a pregnant teen girl. She had no family to turn to in keeping her child. Others made decisions for her and cohesion was applied to conform to the rules. But there is redemption in her story. An orphan herself was being cared for. She was not forced to abort and gave life to her child which was then adopted into a good family. The
best part was the Mother/Daughter reunion and the longing they had to see one another. They got closure and were blessed. A beautiful love story.
Roloff had a God complex, just as many male evangelical ministers do today.
True
He is disgusting.
More like a natzi
Just a Narcissist using the bible as an excuse to manipulate people
@@yolandaburgos9170 I think your right .
I found out I was adopted at 20. Met my biological mother a year after, now at 32 still haven’t met my biological father…. I cried so much during this video, felt it to the core.. it’s a everlasting pain…
My son's biological father passed away when my son was 10 months old. We have an 'open adoption' but his mom is incarcerated. Not sure how to bring up any of this to my son, who's 3. Could you tell me -- how do I do this right, and honorably?
@@skatergirl6764 I don't have a lot of answers to your question, but one thing I would say is don't wait until your son is older to tell him he is adopted. I was adopted by my dad and I had always been told as far back as I can remember that that was the case. It's a shock when a child is a teenager for example and then is told or even a younger child could have problems with having not known beforehand, even if they don't completely understand what it all means. At least they know, and have been told from the beginning, and that's the important part.
@@skatergirl6764 or gently let her know that they where adopted but th finer details leave out until they're older ie "mom incarcerated" and let them know they are loved and you wanted them
@@skatergirl6764 hey, I don’t know if I can answer your question the right way but I’ll say this be gentle with your child. Tell him slowly but tell him the truth, if you can put him in therapy (someone that understands adoption). I hope this helped.
😥😢
This is emotional, I am so happy they found each other.
I’m so happy they were reconnected. Last year I found my 42 year old brother that my Dad had been looking for his whole life. It was an incredible feeling, I can’t explain the emotions and how insanely amazing it felt when you’re finally all together. I’m so happy to have found him, and we’re all extremely close. The only thing that upsets me is the lost time. He has four kids, 18, 17, 13, and 3. The 3 year old was a surprise, but we joke and say she came out so we could at least enjoy one grandchild/niece grow up from toddler to adult lol! Genetics is crazy too, the similarities we all have is so beyond bizarre.
So happy for you. I wish I could find mine
Omg..just balling here. When the daughter said that when she met her mom she felt like she was finally home. 😢😢😢😢
SUCH A SAD STORY....SO GLAD THAT MOTHER AND DAUGHTER GET TO BE TOGETHER AND TO STAY IN TOUCH! I'M SO HAPPY FOR THEM! THANK YOU GOD FOR KEEPING HOPE ALIVE FOR BOTH OF THEM!😇💕💞💖🙏🤲💟💝
I think you missed the clue. It was Elvis .
Elvis kept the hope alive , God is the name of the racket, Roloff homes & the Bedesda home for girls the traffic agents. May Satin dry ther tears and soften your pajama.
I cried so bad for this lady and her daughter I thank God for connecting them back took such a long time God knows what she went through I can’t imagine someone taking my babies and not knowing what happened to them. Sending love and light to everyone affected
I cried the entire story. I'm so happy that y'all found each other.
✝️✝️✝️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
crazy, can’t imagine having your baby stolen. but thank god that lady’s heart was in the right place and her daughter didn’t give up and they have each other now
It made perfect sense for you to bake her a cake even tho she wasn’t there mama ♥️♥️
I'm so happy they found eachother. She looks so much like her mum.
I am 41, I'd do anything to hug my son. He was 5 the last time I saw him. My frst husband was 9 years my senior.. I was 17 when we got married. He took my child in divorce and he was sheltered by his family who are quite well off. I have cried so many tears.
My father did all he could to make me and my siblings hate out mother. It never worked.
Hopefully one day he will realize the great injustice done to not only you but to himself and all will be rectified.
I ended up hating my father for the longest time learning his lies
@@YaakovEzraAmiChi I hope someday what you say is true. I miss him everyday.
@@Dreadtheday ❤️
Oh I hope you reunite 🥺
I pray that you reveice your miracle in the name of Jesus 🙏
When I was 18 I found out that I have a brother. My wicked Catholic grandmonster sent my mom to Nebraska ( huge child trafficking problem 😮 ) to a catholic home for unwed mothers. Her son was taken after her being able to spend one day with him. My mothers best friend was with her the first night my mom didn't have her baby boy. She recalls to this day hearing my mom sob all through the night. Maybe doing the DNA thing is a good idea! ✌️❣️
You 100% have the chance to find your brother. Take a DNA test that attached you to a public DNA database (23&Me, Ancestry DNA for example). Perhaps your brother has already added his DNA searching for you!
@@JenSell1626 I don't trust those companies. My sister was adopted and she did get to meet her birth mom and half brother but she never got to ask her birth mom about her bio father. She's reluctant to do the DNA tests too.
That's so sad I just can't imagine your mom's heartbreak. 😢
@@dixiedoo5876 It crushed her. 💔 Thank you!
@@JenSell1626 I know! It's scary! But??? What else is there? Lame! ✌️❣️
I’m so glad you found your daughter and she found you. I wish y’all a long healthy life together.
They lost so many years not being together
"It feels like coming home" 😭 watching this again and crying all over again. I'm so happy for them.
This was a tear jerker. I cannot imagine the pain and misery. So thankful they found each other.
As a Christian, it saddens and upsets me that, in Christ's name, this kind of abuse took place. I hope others watching this don't confuse rabid religion with the transforming grace of Jesus. "By their fruits ye shall know them," as Jesus so truly said.
Agree. ❤
The love of Jesus Christ couldn't be further from the wickedness and atrocities that people have done "in His name". It hurts me so much, so I can only imagine how much it breaks the heart of God to see people misappropriating His name for all manner of unrighteousness 😓
Listen to the bit after 12:14. It's not over yet. It's still happening.
I totally agree this videos saddens me because it shows truly how ugly humanity can be
Frankly I’m tired of Christians saying “those aren’t real Christians”
They think they are. That’s enough. I wish y’all would do something about evangelists and fanatics. But they are taking over at least half of the US.
I'm sorry she lost her baby, or rather that her baby was stolen from her!
stolen and sold without her permission
Ok but how do you suppose a homeless orphan could provide for an infant ? What's your solution to single pregnant foster kids with babies?
I'm in tears of joy for this family I actually cried.with them for them beautiful ending.
In November 2021 my friend was reunited with her son after 45 years. She was 17, still in high school when he was born. She never saw or held him. He found her (after his adoptive parents had died) through a DNA registry that linked him to one of her other sons. Although hers was a willing adoption, she now feels complete and is nurturing the relationship with him and his little kids 🤗👍🥰
A willing adoption isn’t the same as wanted one. The only other option is shame for many of these mothers-shame dealt by warped Christian thinking. No shame for the father. If only there were a permanent visible mark on the forehead for every baby conceived and walked away from by a deadbeat dad.
When she said, "when I told my story nobody belive me "broke my heart" because I know how that feel!!
I do too. Likewise, been a DV victim of this for 23 years. My daughter's father is a Reverend/Pastor and robbed me of custody of my daughter. MS courts and LEO colluded with him to abuse and keep me from her. I stood no chance against them. I told them what was going on and they never believed me or my daughter. They all sabotaged my chance of getting her back since he didn't want to pay child support. My son's father used being a Christian to get custody of him 16 years ago while pregnant. Both fathers of children conspired together separating my kids 16 years apart. I haven't recovered yet. I was a Christian...not anymore. My own mother was mommy dearest as a Christian and the church members of different churches I attended over the years threw me and my babies to the wolves and left me to fend for me and my kids. I am atheist also now! Never went back to those cults and you can't pay me enough to go back. That lady is right..." I CAN'T LET GO". It haunts you as the mother to be cheated, denied, to robbed of motherhood. Nobody has helped me but helped the fathers comment atrocious in God's name. Went to court alone for 16 years to fight alone.
I couldn’t even imagine missing out on your own child’s life😭 it’s so heartbreaking
There's millions of cases of cruelty on this level.
I was adopted out for 10 days as a baby. Thankfully my mum fought and won. Beautiful story thank you for sharing.
I'm looking for my 21 year old son. I hope I find him some day. I know what the mother is going through.
Her story is so heartbreaking, I can feel the hurt and sadness through the screen. I’m so glad she was finally reunited with her baby girl (who looks just like her!)
When they hugged and she cried, I cried. I cannot ever imagine being forced to give my children up and not being able to watch them grow. Then to finally meet them 40 years later. So much missed. But finally together.
I cried too. I don't know but I can feel her mother pain for not seeing her growing 💔 😢 😔 😪. But, I'm glad that they found its other because not all are lucky to see their family.
breaks my heart . so happy she found her mother
Hi rollande! How’re you doing?
I hope, pray and fast that this woman and her daughter build a loving and potent bond with each other for the next 42 years to makeup for the 42 years apart from each other.🕊🙏
So glad that she finally found her daughter.
When she said she baked her a cake every year for her I lost it. 😢
I used to buy Birthday gifts for my son and give them away to lads in need! Crazy, I know...
@@thatbird2 no. Not crazy at all!!!
@@jennifer801
@@thatbird2 not crazy at all. in fact, that sounds like a healthy way to cope. sending you so much love and light
I’m so glad I was born in a time where I had the choice to do what I wanted when I got pregnant as a teen. My son is now 20 and I raised him on my own. He’s an amazing young man. I couldn’t imagine him being ripped from me.
🙌❤️
My sister was born 69 years ago and my mother had the choice also eventhough she wasn't married when she got pregnant.
Sadly, I think that this poor woman has blocked out most of her delivery. She knew that she had delivered a little girl and if nobody told her, she probably witnessed it all, but mentally has blocked it out due to trauma.
See, he The Pastor died in a "plane crash" and that "not" the way God want us to go! And, he was selling those babies because there was no law back in that time and state. Her mother really wanted her child! 💯
The law permitted it, until 2009 in MS. That was in the video.
This is heartbreaking and what that "home" did to all those girls and children is sickening!
The love this mother has is palpable. Bless you both. 🧡
What a BLESSING !!!! I’m so happy they found each other
❤️❤️❤️
Dear God, What that poor woman went through and those child slaves. God Bless her and her daughter and grand daughters and family I truly hope she can be happy finally. And God will judge those who are responsible you can be sure of that. There suffering will never end.
Yes...Jesus is very angry when His children get abused by Evil people . These Evil religious people will be judged. They will not get away....
Thank you King Jesus that you will take care of those people who abuses these precious children...
They've been reunited, which is a lot more than some. So happy this story had a positive ending.
This woman has EXPERIENCED what a African American slave has EXPERIENCED when losing their children in the SLAVE TRADE! It's "Horribe it's all Horrible"
Peace from Ethiopia..
Thanks for saying this. As an American black woman
💯
Let’s not forget Laura silisby the missionary and group that went to Haiti and tried kidnapping hatisn children after the earthquake / all the worst situations come from and throughout church’s .
Don't forget wako either.. Just don't tell me white boys can't jump
Good analogy. Peace to you also.
I'm so happy you two found each other. Don't waste a single day of the rest of your lives God bless
