We look forward to seeing what's next! Thank you for sharing your story.
Heyyyyyy. This is such a nice story. You're adopted parents are amazing.
May God continue to cover you! Wonderful story
I’m so very Happy for you.🙌🏽🙌🏽This was very Touching 😢
God bless you and all the love around you. #LoveWins
His adoptive parents did an outstanding job raising him... God bless them...🙏 The reception from his biological family just overwhelms my heart.
Ok definitely agree with you. Exactly what I was thinking.🙏🏾
Such a beautiful story ❤️. God bless you all moving forward
Absolutely ❤️💞❤️💞❤️💞
Oo
P
His parents did an outstanding job raising this young man. I pray that they all become a blended family.
I feel that they will.
His parents did an awesome job raising him. I pray they will become a blended family. I truly believe in blessings & miracles. May God bless them all. 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️😢
@Babygirl way to be original and basically copy the original post you're commenting on.
@triggerfish2711 why does it matter so much to you what she comments?
Amen!!!!!💯💪😃
I salute the parents who adopted him. I can see how nice they are through him.
Yess… I agree!❤
Nice parents raise crazy af kids too so stop… it’s the kids choice what path they choose
He must have had great parents! He’s a gem!! They did one amazing job. You can tell he was so loved!!!❤❤❤
When this young man asked Tamron if he could hug her, I lost it. His heart is so good. Grateful for his upbringing.
Me too that shows his heart 😢❤
Yes; That’s when I lost it💓💓💓💓💓
It's just a friendly hug.he is clearly a "fruity pebble"
@@Yemaya888 And you are Bigoted Witch!!!!😱🐀🙄
Me too. He showed empathy for her awww. He could tell what she was feeling in that moment
I can so relate to this story. I gave my son up for adoption 33 years ago, and I afterwards regretted it, but was overseas serving in the military. I always kept in touch with the adoption agency to update them with my information in case my son ever found out he was adopted. We were finally reunited this July, and it’s the most wonderful feeling in the world! Now I have my son back, a new daughter-in-law and 3 beautiful granddaughters. The twist is that my son had no idea he had been adopted until the adoption agency contacted him notifying him that I was searching for him. I’m so blessed.
❤amazing story.
What a blessing
Beautiful
Congratulations on your reunion with your son! ❤️ It used to be adoptions were closed and couldn’t give any information. So NOW a biological parent can seek a child though the agency or do they have to wait till they are an adult? This is why the adoptive parents should tell them at some point that they were adopted.
God bless you and your son,daughter n law and grandchildren!
Iverson, you hit the jackpot with two beautiful families!🏆
Oh…….and they sure hit the jackpot with you!
Not luck. God's gifts💗
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes. So blessed
He wrote his brother's name on his shoes. How sweet. Beautiful love story of family.
That's when u started crying, not me😂😂
When he hugged Tamron. My heart! He’s a beautiful soul!! Blessings
Same thoughts and words
I hate it when MEN wear hairstyles of little girls
❤
Girl yes!
He truly is!!!!❤️💗💛
As someone who found their birth father at 50 years old this is an especially touching story. Bless these families.
Same here. I just found him 3 years ago 😊🥰
So happy that you got to meet your father
Now I want to give you a hug!
I’d love to find my siblings on my biological dad’s side but I have no clue where to start. This is a beautiful story.
@@anitadorn9899
Hi,
Same here …..where to begin……how to begin the search?
OMG his energy is so magnetic! ❤️ He was obviously raised in a very loving home.
Yes! Such a beautiful young soul.. great job the parents did 🤎
Yes ❤ his smile is so sweet and laugh!
Iverson’s energy is SOOOO contagious!! He probably doesn’t have one negative bone in his body!😭🥹💛
Yesss… I love his personality! I can tell he is a wonderful person the way he asked Tamron, if he could give her a hug.
I’m glad his adopted parents supported him. Thank Hod he ended up with parents who loved him and his life was a good one.
isn't just what you do but what you don't do. Not just what you did but how you did it. Not just what you said but how you said it. Love is so simple yet the simple make it so hard. Love Is full of knowledge yet even the smart don't get it. Love doesn't cost a fortune yet fortunes are spent trying to gain it. Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift. Make this year the year you seek to sow love and not just reap it. Be love and not just think it. Do love and not just say it. Talk love and just don't fake it. Seek love and just don't chase it. Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it. For whatever love is and is not, it's all of, for and From Him. He is LOVE! "

@@stavros333 I don’t believe in god. But that was beautiful ❤
This is my wish one day, I am in a similar situation my mom give one of my sister away when she was 7 years old because of poverty 😢 💔 she is the first born and should be around 70 years old. All I know is her name I don't know if her adopted parent change her name 🤦♀️😭 we live in a Caribbean country and she took her to England so it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. I wish I can find her but I don't know how to start 😕 😞 😔 😪
@@stavros333 well said 👏 👍 👌 🙌
Do a DNA test and see if anyone in the family apoears as a match. Get into facebook groups of people looking for people (in the UK) and in your country. They may be looking for you!
Glad his adopted parents supported him
Iverson's parents sure did raise him in love, he is sooo affectionate and open. His birth mother is beautiful too. How awesome to have that much love!
The adoptive parents are true angels. You can tell by the demeanor of the son.
Jalen looked so happy feeding his baby brother in their baby picture ♥️ it’s such a blessing that they found each other, and that his big brother came for his little brother! Pulling at my heart strings 🥹♥️
To not love deeply is to not love at all. I cannot love on part nor in half. I cannot love holding back or hidden. Only openly, honestly, sincerely and devotedly or else it isn't love. For love is without selfishness but rather selfless. It does not seek gain but gives. It doesn't take but sacrifices freely of its own for the good of that which it loves. It is too deep to measure, too high to ascend and so wide that you can never truly comprehend it or embrace it. It's least expression is greater than all the gold you could amass. Should you ever meet it or even glimpse it, find yourself in its presence or to have been the object of its affection, know then that you have lived more than a lifetime to have found it, for some have never crossed it's path or ever felt it's touch. Some were blind to see it although it was along side them. Others were deaf to hear it for they drowned it's soft whisper in the noise of the crowd. Still many ignored it though it called to them and beckoned them to come. Rejecting it's invitation and in so doing chose to wander alone, restless on a bed or sadness, leaving love Abandoned, without a heart to make its home. Be grateful, for you have and now are forever changed, forever Loved!❤

Miracles still happen. Thank God 😊 🙏
Hello Lori, how are you doing today, I hope you had a pleasant day?
This is what America needs to see on a daily basis. Such pure joy and happiness. I'm so sick of all the hate that's been going on. And to see this loving family be able to reconnect it's just so amazing
You mean America needs to see contrived fairy tales in order to live in la la land for the rest of their lives? Got it
@@thegoldenbowl5217 how is this a contrived fairy tale?
There's one group that's playing a huuuuuge role in spreading hate and division. Their entire platform is to not care about the struggle they help create and could improve.
@@aprilswales8866 💯spot on and then here's a big example of what they do, trolling sites to make these negative comments to continue to divide. There's more of us then them, so let's keep the positive energy flowing within the good souls and maybe they'll discover what we feel.
Real family doesn't have a certain color or race..just FAMILY🙏
And really big shout out to his adoptive parents! They were obviously wonderful parents, they would have to be to have such a fine son.
Iverson is the sweetest, he is such a vulnerable and loving soul ❤
I have a friend who just met his biological mom after 26 years of his life. He found her! He lives in California. She lives in the Midwest I believe. She gave him up for adoption when she was just 15 I believe and had gotten raped by a stranger. The pregnancy was hid from her family, as she was harbored by her aunt for over 9 months when she was a teenager. She never had any other children, but did get married. She is 44 now. Now, he is about to have his first baby and she will be a grandma! She is completely in his life and even planned his gender reveal party. There story is absolutely amazing!
Have they ever found the stranger?
What a wonderful outcome. I know a few people who are in this world because of the same situation. In the cases I know, the men were never caught.
@@thegoldenbowl5217 apparently, he is around and still living, but it was never reported. And to think that the man he helped conceive is a thriving, young family man athlete and educator with a PhD.
@eve...wow a rapist with a PhD...that's crazy he's never been reported
@@thegoldenbowl5217 no. The rapist is not the one with the PhD. Its the son produced by the rape who has a PhD.
Oh! Iverson was brought up with so much love 😭. When he pulled his brother into a side hug, I cried
His parents did an awesome job
I did too.
I found my biological family last year through Ancestry & Facebook. I too lived in the guilt of betrayal to my adoptive family for years. Although I know where my bio mother is now, I’ve dodged actually meeting her in person for many emotional reasons I can’t explain. This story has given me great encouragement. I feel it’s time I head to Ohio and face her before it’s to late 🤞🥹
Thanks Iverson 🙏
You're doing the right thing. U have to know where you come from to know who U are and where your going in life
I just watched this video 1.14.23--do you mind sharing an update on mtg. your bio mother?
For the love of god, go SEE HER! I made that mistake myself brother, I wasn't ready when I turned 18 (that's when you can go to the authorities to get your biological parents contact info here in Norway), and after I'd served a year in the military doing my compulsory service when I was 19, my mother committed suicide so I never got to see her. My bio father passed away in the mid 90s, so I was too young to really take it to heart then (I was born in 88). I'm in contact with my biological siblings (2 older sisters) and the rest of the family back home in Namibia, so that's REALLY nice though. From one brotha to another, don't make the same mistake I did. Seek her out! 👍🏿👍🏿✊🏿✊🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Please do this.
Definitely a good idea. No matter what you will be glad you did and won’t have any regrets. Life is so short.
Foster parents are a Blessing. Nothing wrong with wanting to know more about his biological family history.
He wasn’t fostered. He was adopted.
@ Rose Garden This story touched so close to home. So please trust me when I say, they are his parents, not "foster parents". He now has TWO beautiful families that love him.
Fostering parents are hell one earth depending on where you're placed
He’s such a sweet kid! His parents raised him well! He had a good childhood.
Yes parents showered him with lots of love.
The "can I hug you" part just got to me, he's such a kind soul
Once the mom came on with her message I just broke down in tears. There are some people who put children up for adoption and they would much rather not see them or meet them. It's so heartwarming to know that both of them were looking for each other. I am in tears as I write this only because I wish that I could adopt a child. But I'm probably not in the position to at the moment. I'm happy that I had a loving family who raised me and it's just so loving to see the power of knowing your biological parents and family
You're absolutely right. She may not be ready to be in front of a live studio audience but she DID agree to meet him in person and send that lovely message. This man is surrounded with love.
I can see that Iverson was brought up with lots of love. Such happy and charismatic outlook.
Thanks to his adoptive parents.♡
I can't believe he didn't get paid for those 7 MILLION views. It's an amazing story. We need stories like this. Somebody please help this young man get paid.
💯💯💯 I bet the app is making all kinds of money I hope he makes sure his page is monetized!
@@softblackwoman Thank you. How do you monetize your page?
@@Gr8LilLady There’s a couple of things that have to happen before you can be monetized on UA-cam--I am not monetized on UA-cam with this channel - you have to have 40,000 views and at least a minimum of 1000 followers I don’t know the rules on TikTok but I do know that a lot of content creators are making big bucks he has likely surpassed whatever threshold was needed to be monetized on that platform
@@softblackwoman where can I found out more info on monetizing? Are you using something specifically? Thanks
@@softblackwoman Thank you for that valuable information! ✌❤
Iverson’s inner light shines so bright. ❤
The love he has and the family has, it's so special. Most people don't get that even with one family. He hit the jackpot
This family has the best complexion that I have EVER seen. They are absolutely beautiful!
I love seeing the open affection. Iverson is a ball of energy!!❤
Who else is smiling at there phone from this heartwarming story? ❤️💪🏾
I’m literally over here dropping buckets! I’m so happy his bio family found him, but I’m also thankful for his adoptive parents who raised him. It’s obvious that they are wonderful people who showered him with love!
I am BALLLLLLLLLLLING!!!! How precious. How Kind is our God. Praying for this family for the VERY BEST.
He just wants to hug his big brother, that is so sweet.
Iverson is a sweetheart!! I just love his kind spirit!! I just wanted to hug him!! Beautiful biological family!! Kudos to the adopted family who raised this young man!
It's amazing how cohesive his biological family is with him after just being reunited, even after he's been apart from his biological family for so long. They're all so much alike and such beautiful people inside and out. It's also wonderful that he had such lovely adoptive parents as well, to help lay his foundation. He's quite blessed in every way. So happy for him.
First of all this young man's personality is so infectious ❤❤❤. So happy he found his biological family 🙏🏾
Whew what a beautiful soul . You can tell he was rooted and raised in love .
I was a foster kid from 8-18! This story touches my heart! I didn’t meet my dad until I was 30 and me and my biological family is close and have a great bond! I’m so happy you found your family and got a chance to know who you are and where you come from!
Have you ever resented your bio parents for giving you up? Or were you just happy that you found them and decided to move on where you were at
@@thegoldenbowl5217 I was when I was younger and didn’t understand the reasons of why! Once I found out then it made it easier for me to forgive and I was given a better life so Im actually happy!
That's wonderful... God bless you and your bright future ahead 🙂❤️
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🌻
He has the most amazing energy it’s contagious. Congrats on finding your second family.
What an adorable young man, so glad he found his family and it went so well.
You can tell his adoptive parents were very affectionate 🤗 by the way he hugs his brother and Tamron 😅 What a beautiful story! I’m so happy they all found each other and it was meant to be❤ I mean what are the odds of finding your brother by second name that pops up on social media 🤯
It's kind of strange 🤔
@@cynthiaamersonmclean8854 Why is that strange? Stop projecting.
It’s a true blessing🙏🏽that he was adopted by a loving family and that he found his biological family. Tamron brings us the best stories❤️.
So happy for him
@@lavernegillcrest1494 Me,too❤️
Friends For Thought
Inspiration comes of people past and present,
How would I or could I have, save Twas not for those
who are as myself.
Fleeting thoughts upon the eternal circle of life.
That rise for the morning and are laid to rest for
eternity’s morrow.
Indeed, these temporal creatures be it known as
mankind are an essential necessity to the credit of my
works.
I duly welcome whatever inviting or intrusive fellows,
not preferring the latter, however.
That I, in all, am to be complete in task and duty,
plan and purpose for what only God ordained objectives
do order the course of things.
May these who are to me unknown along this question
filled puzzling journey be all the more as the invited
ones I’ve met, and yet, let wisdom dictate that which
I distaste for higher reasons I submit.
Let this be my resolve; a chant of gratitude.
For many an inspiring fellow, none so admired have I
as you.
A picture of him who indeed masterminds my
acquaintances and assigns me my purposeful existence.
--Steven Fitzgerald Gooden
That is a beautiful story.
Beautiful poetry seems like I almost sense maya Angelou very inspiring
I never seen someone so happy in a reunion . Obviously his adoptive mother and dad showered him with lots of love. May God continues to bless them with long life. His adoptive parents defied all odds and looked after him very, very well
Thank you adoptive mom and dad. Your reward is in heaven.
I am so happy for Iverson! He has an awesome adoptive family and now he has his biological family as well! Such a beautiful story.
My Lord, Danielle has some strong genes. Her handsome boys look just like her. God bless their union and they continue to grow closer in loving each other. To the adoptive parents, God bless both of you.
I just love his goofy personality it’s amazing
My nephew is adopted & his adopted parents allow me & his siblings to keep in touch with him... we are truly grateful
My bio-daughter found me by hiring a investigator in 1991. My story is very similar to this story. She and her older brother were adopted out at birth in private adoptions. It’s a truly emotional blessing when I heard she was looking for me!I know how wonderful that feeling is, thank you for sharing your story! ❤️🎄☃️
Stories like THIS in all of the nastiness that we have in this world makes my friggin heart smile!!! Thank you Beautiful Tamron & Iverson for allowing us in!! GODSPEED
You must be Jamaican
Right ❤️💜
@@cassandraclarke2481 what makes you tink that?
I can’t believe you didn’t view this as a nasty story also... the mom abandoned her child and makes an emotionless video not explaining herself? And not even showing up to this show? That’s not nasty behavior to you?
@@thegoldenbowl5217 the only thing that is "nasty" are the remarks you're making on several of these postings.
I am so happy for Iverson and his Bio family. Kudos to the wonderful parents that raised him to be a well ajusted young man.
❤it’s more beautiful to see the love he has for his biological family. Some would hate their family but this is so much love! I can see the two families becoming one! To God be the glory!
He is such a sweetheart!! Giving Tamron a hug after realizing their stories are similar and getting emotional and hugging his brother when he found out his brother has been writing his name in notebooks and stuff! So cute and sweet!
Yes and yes!
I crIed so much! I was adopted as well and I just found my brother and sisters this February after 48 years ! ❤️❤️
Awww 🥰 I’m so happy for you Shana! I wish you remain in each other’s lives for the rest of your lives. ❤🤗
OMG that is a long time shows that never giving up pays off God is good ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've been watching Tamron Hall Show from the beginning, however, this is the first time I cried watching her show. I loved that Iverson was able to find his birth family and they accepted him with open arms and open heart!
I've cried before, especially with Toni Braxton talking about Traci.
And I've seen Tamron getting emotional before. I cried with one too.
I was adopted ....and at 59 tears old...it would be a dream to reconnect with my biological family
@delores you feel that way eventhough they abandoned you?
Remember they found him❤
Thank God for parents who adopted him great job raising him
I know how he feels. I found out I was adopted when I was 43...found my birth Mom - two sisters and a brother...It was wonderful....but my adoptive parents where wonderful people and I love them so much...I was truly blessed.
That had to have been tough for the older brother. Because just seeing that pic, he was old enough to know and remember he had a baby brother! I'm so glad they found eachother. Beautiful family.
I’m so happy for his adoptive family being supportive and for his biological family that they found Iverson. Best wishes to everyone!
His adoptive family did an AMAZING job with him💯❤️..he is well rounded..kind..and empathetic❤️
This struck a nerve inside of me when l got my DNA results after 40 years finding out that my siblings father was my father too. This is such happy ending. Very good looking family too. ❤️🥰
Beautiful story. His bio mum has closure and now has her family complete. The parents who raised him, how awesome are they to adopt him. Both Mums/parents did a wonderful job in raising their children.
Yes both moms did and awesome job. So did his dad
This young man was raised WELL! Just easily comforting Tamron with a hug🥹❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love this story! Especially the fact that his adopted parents were so supportive.
He never stopped smiling so I was like he is so so precious.😭🥺
Such a great young man ! His smile is everything!
OMG, that was so sweet when he asked Tamron if he could give her a hug! Awww.
Mom is beautiful. so are his parents!
Iverson seems like someone we could all be friends with. Smiles like the radiant sun! 🌞
I am so happy for him that he met his biological family and that he has the support from his family that raised him. God Bless you.
Their mom is such a Beautiful and brave soul. I couldn't imagine.
My brother in law had a child at 16 but was never allowed to be in his life due to racism, he had 4 other children with my sister and after 17 years his son finally knows who his father is and has met his family! I am so happy to hear this story!
His adoptive family has blessed this young man beyond measure. They gsve him a home, their values, and showered him with unvonditional loved. Much respect to them. I would like to know more about his adopted family.
You are totally an empath, Iverson.
Congratulations on you guys finding each other:)
His blessed on both sides. Having loving families is definitely a blessing.
This has me crying like a baby. This is the greatest story.
Salute to the adoptive parents. They NEVER get enough credit for raising a child left alone!
Beautiful story, Iverson looks just like his brother and mother
His adopted parent did a great job
They were great parent, they brought him up well
God bless them
His bio mom is so beautiful
So much LOVE to the adoptive parents for raising an awesome son Iverson. God bless you!!!
It just shows that we as people have so much in common… HUMANITY ❤
Loads of Love to all
💕💕💕🌺💕💕💕
Ok… I smiled from ear to ear the whole time through until I saw the last picture that is when I 😢. I love that they are ALL holding him. What a reunion and a beautiful rebirth of new beginnings.
God has blessed him tremendously and he has that picture of his village to remind him every day 🙏
@@rhemawilliams4983 Amen
He’s so sweet
Really
I loved how the adopted parents didn’t make it about them and allowed him to tell his story and share the love they’ve shared with him.
I am so Happy that he found his biological family now he’s blessed to have two families
I would have loved to see and hear from the beautiful parents who adopted him… Many blessings to them and all involved. 💕💕💕
I am grinning watching this clip. Jaylen's wife is awesome. Jaylen is great. I work as a Genealogist some adoptees do not receive a welcome as this family has done. Congratulations, Iverson!
Why wouldn’t they receive the kid they abandoned?
@@thegoldenbowl5217 Circumstances of conception.
The way he was happy on stage with his brother . Oh my god , it’s really special . Gonna just call all my brothers and sisters telling them I love them so so much
The mother is a beautiful person and loved her son enough to give him the opportunity to have a better life...and the adopted parents did a great job as well.
Wowww this is absolutely amazing soooo much love. I cried the whole story. God is good!
He looks so much like his bio family, especially his brother.
Iverson you are a wonderful and kind and caring human being. Your parents raised you well. Your biological family love you and made this reunion happen. All the best to everyone in the families.
He is so respectful I love his spirit and when she talk about her dad he asked can I give you a hug. And she said yes you can. I also like the fact that his adopted parents support him
Wow this story touch my heart. Being adopted and not knowing where your family could be. I looked for my biological parents for a long time. Now at 44 I’m still wonder if I would ever find them. I hope one I will find them or someone close to them. It’s not easy when you feel so alone.
Take DNA testing because it can be a quicker lead for you. Good luck!
I hope you do 🕯
I was going to suggest the show Long Lost Family as well. Hoping you find them 🙏
Keep trying. Just be prepared for anything. I found my birth mother at almost 30 years old. Long story short but she had no idea what happened to me. My adoptive family moved over 3000 miles away from our home state, and my name was changed. I now have a relationship with her, my brothers,sisters, nieces and nephews. If it's meant to be it will be.
don't lose hope.
you started on this journey for a reason do keep going and you'll find them.
"I'm not crying... you are!" 😆 😭 ❤
I didn't have the same outcome but I am so very happy to see this! What a beautiful blessing!
I COULD NOT STOP CRYING .. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STORY PRAYERFULLY THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD AND BOND AND GET EVERYTHING THEY EVER DESIRED FROM THIS MOMENT ON
🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
