long lost family series 8 episode 6
My mom found me and my brothers 25years after being taken away by my dad. It's been 30 years since our reunion and tremendous healing occurred, at least for me because I was 5 with many memories and connection. These stories make me cry every time. Also met a half brother 10 years I didn't know existed. Heand I get along very well. God brought us all back to my mom before it was to late. I've made it a point to help my mom heal after so many years separated. Keep healing people from broken families! It's so important to help people deal with deep brokenness.
What fantastic news for Mark to meet his mother and find out about his birth father and actually meet him - meeting both birth parents before they pass is such a blessing for him.
The presenters on this program gives sincere hugs
Yes, I think the same thing. I want to some their hugs. They’re amazing huggers.

It’s disgusting how unwed mothers were treated in those days.
@bee azz No, it was harsh judgement by hypocrites.
bee azz no it’s called being an asshole
Tables have turned . Treated like heroes these days .
That’s what shotgun weddings were for and they had a good reason to do it.

The mother and daughter both had homes with a lot of white decor and minimalistic. How interesting!
They even dressed alike!
How kind of you to take the time to post this. Happy New Year and thank you.keep up the good work.
Just sharing the love ❤️ you're very much welcome, and have an awesome and happy New Year as well! :)
Love this page. Especially how perfect the quality and audio of the video. Would love for you to post more episodes. If possible.
💛
Such splendid cafés and countrysides. This programme is the best touristic advert for Britain /Warm.regards fromTunisia.
Indeed!
Again, so lovely to see these wonderful people finding peace about the beginning and the end of their stories.
Davina and Nicky you bring such joy. Bless you for all you do for others.
I've never seen such a physical transformation as in Marc. The pain he felt to a radiant joy.
These people are real angels, helped all those long lost family reunited.
These programs are very well done. I am so happy you all found each other. Always makes me weep with joy.
My eyes are burning with tears but my heart feels such happiness for these families
When I saw the lovely mum , Mariam and the equally lovely Julie. I thought about them as being a little girl and her mum ! Even though the daughter is now taller than her mum ! Blessings to all in this episode and the followers from California . 🇬🇧 🐨 🧸
Such sweet meetings. Thank you.
Too bad that the American version of this show does not begin to compare to the quality of the UK production. Bravo!!
Davina is such a gorgeous woman. I just love the way she looks and the way she interacts with people. Absolutely gorgeous!
I can’t watch any episode without crying, how do Devina and Nick stay dry eyed? 😭
The UK correspondents are so much more caring and genuine!
Agreed 💖 the UK Version better than the US.
I like the US too

As an American, I believe the US correspondents are just as caring and genuine. It is about culture differences. Some might believe that the UK correspondents are more dramatic and "sappy". It's just a different of cultures, maybe if you really understood "diversity" you would be more open to other cultures. I like them US & UK the same. Of course since I don't know how far Hammelsmit is from East End (for example). The locations are not as relatable for me.
I so love these stories about reunions.
I WAS wanted..and I still am. Words to live by.
I've never seen a bad episode of LLF/UK. But this one is exceptional. For all of the "Experts" in this subject, they need to watch this one a few dozen times. As someone who has experienced much of this, you really don't know much at all.
Remember, they used to throw stones at the unwed mother. They never did that to the fathers. They usually didn't brag about it.
Cinelic - Clearest of all the LLF uploads!
I'll never not ugly cry to these.
I have taken my family for granted after feeling these feelings with these most beautiful people's.
I love these beautiful reunions but worry so much for the adopted parents. It must be worrisome.
What BEAUTIFUL souls the 2 mothers have! God Bless those 2 women who loved their precious babies and lived to be such strong women after having to give them up. Their 2 children are so beautiful as well!
Thank you.
Mark asked why his Mother would give him up but then said she was 18 and unwed 🤷 In most cases the Mothers loved 💕 their children and wanted to keep them but could not due to age, no husband/partner, no financial means 💵, no family support etc.
How wonderful !
How do 'long lost family' manage to reunite these adoptees with their parents/families and private investigators never do?
No offense, but Mark SERIOUSLY needs a dentist! Looks like he’s missing every other bottom tooth 😞 I feel so bad for him 😞 (his top teeth are beautiful)
Though not all, where are the father figures and their side of stories? Do these adoptees eventually look for their fathers too?
Some do, yes. Marc from this episode found his birth father.
I wish for my daughter to meet her birth mother. Don't know how to find her. Please pray that a miracle happens
What about Marc’s father?
So weird to see how compose the Brits are when meeting their long lost family members. I would be crying, screaming, smiling, I wouldn't be able to contain myself!!!!!!!!!
Everyone has a history but the Jewish people have an incredible journey. I am glad Mark will learn his.
Mark learned that Esther's own family, despite their lived experience, were too intolerant and judgmental to let her raise her son. Judaism passes through the maternal line, so the paternity of Esther's child made no difference to his Jewishness.
Why are the parents not looking for their children? South Africa
Mariann and Julie look like the same woman at diff ages!
💜
15:15 why does his jacket say : infidel ???
51=
So is no one worried about his father ?
i met my kid after 30 hyears 0 coinnecxtion im a villian apparently?
👍💛
I can't believe Julie has guilt. It should be the other way around.
Why? Why should there be any guilt at all, except on the part of the scumbag who duped an innocent girl, then abandoned her and his child?
who else google mapped the house?
the Jewish story: he kept asking "was I wanted?" oh yes - she gave birth rather than abort. but she "wanted" him to have a better life than she could give him. not to carry the stigma of "no father" or "unmarried mother". giving him up was the kindest thing she could imagine doing for her beautiful baby.
You can see a visible, palpable change in Mark. He needed this reunion more than almost anybody I've seen on the show. You can actually watch him starting to heal and it is AMAZING! ♥️
Every time someone looks at a picture and quietly asks "may I keep this", I just find that moment so incredibly moving. It's as if that one tangible thing, a photograph, has filled so much emptiness and they can't quite allow themselves to believe this moment is finally here, and you know they're going to hang on to that photo for dear life. I just burst into tears evert time.
Thank you for posting these precious episodes
Seeing is believing...the moment when what was only words becomes a vision of reality. It sort of proves our ears can deceive us easier then our eyes can!
Me too 😣
She was an innocent child, no reason to feel guilty.
That is the most moving moment for me as well. A simple photograph which we take so much for granted, becomes an instant treasure for these people. I love these episodes but every one of them makes me sad that women were treated this way for so many years. That having a baby out of wedlock was such a shameful thing for families that they sent their daughters away to give birth alone and hand their babies over to strangers after a few days, then return home and pretend that nothing happened. While most of the children were adopted into wonderful families and had great childhoods, they were all feeling lost and knew that something very important in their lives was missing. I would NEVER have sent one of my daughters away if this had happened to either of them - I would have allowed them to bring their baby home to raise.
We are all to often inclined to judge people by today's standards but the world of decades ago was a very different place !
that was the sweetest "oh hell no" ever ❤
😂
rude
My parents thought me and boyfriend broke up because I always came out of my room with puffy eyes because of family long lost 😂
😂😂😂
😂😅
Yep. My 10 year old keeps saying "mommy, what's wrong?" 😂 I say "Oh, I'm just happy crying". Then he just laughs and hugs me.
"I hope I didn't ruin her life" that broke my heart, to think that she feels guilty bout something she had no control over & is actually a victim herself...🤧🤢
I watched this today and came to comments to say the exact same thing.
She is not a "victim".
It's very easy for you as men to blame a young mother.
It's amazing how the kids given up for adoption resemble their parents the most.
I was in a home for unwed mothers home also. If my aunt hadn’t of intervened, I wouldn’t be able to tell her daily I love her. That was 1963. That beautiful baby girl now has a son and 5 grandkids...... look at all I would have lost. I do remember hearing my name being called thru the haze of pain meds I was given. The one ‘mistake’ the owner and the nurse made was they didn’t realize I’m a lefty and they were trying to put an ink pen in my right hand to sign the papers of adoption. This is where my aunt comes in. She, in no uncertain words, explained very explicitly that ‘we aren’t giving our baby away’. My family was amazing. I was able to finish high school. But sadly my mom passed away the next year in same month of her birth when my baby girl turned a year. Watching programs like these makes me even more happy I got to raise her myself.
Take care,
Kate, theflutterby🦋, from Seattle....❤️🌈💕
Glad your aunt intervened.. Thanks for sharing your story, Kate! Blessings and love ❤️
Verlena Sutton you are blessed❤️
Verlena Sutton OMG this is so beautiful!!!!!!!! You HAVE an amazing family!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Your aunt is a brave hero on my book ! Bravo . 🐯 🌼 👑
Nicky is a good listener and Divina is sweetheart. Their are just perfect for the job. God bless this two souls❤❤❤❤

*”The quietly whispered question of “Can I keep this?” absolutely slays me every single time...* 😢
I thought the same!!! The way she treasures that picture ❤️
I can tell you as an adopted person that when I recieved that first photo of my biological mother I was very emotional.
IKR Me too.i end up crying all the time.
Mark processing the thought of his mother being found made me feel I shouldn’t be here watching his raw emotions. I’m on my third episode of long lost family tonight so that means I’ve been crying for three hours.
Paul Nurse I blame it on the onions mate laugh out loud
My eyeballs ache.
Michael David I'm thinking that the tears that us viewers have shed have a bit more to do with empathy rather than onions......
Nicky and Davina are so kind and caring!
The Jewish guy looks exactly like his adoptive parents!
exactly
I love this show but I don't know how anybody can watch these reunions without bawling. Gets to me every time. I'm so glad fro these people who find family members and are wanted.
Look at that mom and daughter. In the beginning I was amazed how young the daughter's body looks like for being 55, and look at the mother's arms at 73! Amazing. Sorry if I was being shallow.
Genetics🍓
Not at all - my thoughts entirely! Incredible genes. I look like Keith Richards does now. And I'm only one year older than Julie. DAMN!
Caroline Elliott Hahahaha @ Keith Richards. Well if nothing else Caroline, you still have a great sense of humor
@@theoryrealist9866 It's getting scary now mate - being locked down here in boiling hot SW Morocco for 6.5 months ain't helping. Thank gawd for facemasks!
You are not being shallow. I thought she was older than 55. She looked great, but I sincerely thought she was in her mid 60's.
You are amazing, for uploading these. Most of my day I spend looking forward to watching your videos, so rarely we get a new episode, and then you come and spoil us with all these uploads ❤❤❤
Just sharing the love ❤️ ...and comments like yours, is enough incentive. :)
Awe bless Davina, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen you close to breaking down. I used to wonder how it’s possible for you and Nicky to stay so composed when me and probably the whole viewing audience are in pieces. Bless
If you look around TH-cam, there are interviews with Davina and Nicky that discuss how difficult some of these searches can be for them. Well worth watching if you can find them.
Davina and Nicky have been in the exact situation that’s why they are perfect for this show. They know first hand how it feels!
@@pennyk1943 I love that they chose to have seasoned presenters and interviewers who have been through it do the show. It brings a level of understanding and empathy to the show.
I really appreciate this program. It's so far above the US Version -- done with such empathy and grace. Thank you to the producers and hosts -- and to those who post the episodes.
As an American, I run like hell from any US version of UK series. They just have to shove in unnecessary drama.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Skyler Harlan instablaster =)
@Daxton Raiden I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Daxton Raiden it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
I was 17 when I became pregnant and right away I asked my dad to take mom n me for a drive and I nervously told them my news.Well my dad, lovely man that he was, told me that he already knew.i was shocked bc I told no one.He told me he had seen my mom pregnant 10 times (inuvaluit*sic love lg fams) how would he not know? I cannot imagine what these ladies went through.i had support all the way, these girls did not.They did not have even any consideration.They had just gvn birth,vulnerable , scared and alone.No comfort no warmth no respect no humanity.None.Breaks my heart.These people that mistreated n mishandled n robbed the babies n young girls of a lifetime together cannot be human.What HUMAN would do that? Too many.Too damn many.Thank GOD they hv closure.Beautiful.
Certainly Julie was a gorgeous baby, because she is really now.
Julie and Marion have the same style ..
She could have coved up a little in respect for her mum.
@@irisheyes5890 what are you talking about? they dress almost identical.
it's spooky, hey.
They look almost identical!
@@irisheyes5890 That's a silly comment. She was clothed just fine.
“She’s my daughter and she’s absolutely beautiful”
I loved hearing those words.
What a gorgeous mother / daughter pair they make. They look so alike 💗
Not everyone who tragically loses their Mom at age 16 gets the chance to meet their "other" mother at age 49! And I think it was so thoughtful of Marc's birth Mother to make the effort to ensure he was adopted by a family with the same religion as her own. That makes their new connection even deeper, as he was raised in her faith, they have even more in common. And now they both have a whole new "bonus" family to get to know. Lucky!
Refuse to believe that Julie is 55.
Maybe because she has grey hair. Julie looks great, but 55 is not what I thought...her mom is over 75. That would mean she had Julie around 25. That's not a teenager making a decision to give up her child.
One she looks so great for here age she looks 55 I think but a really good 55 my sister are the same age and she looks even better
@@Emy53 her mom is 73. and she is 55. 18 years
The families that ordered their daughters to give up the babies have deprived themselves of their grandchild and any great grandchildren that might happen.
It was a different time back then. Families were shamed by their friends and neighbors for having an unwed daughter who was pregnant. I had a great aunt who went through the same thing, she had to live in a home for unwed mothers until she gave birth and the baby was taken away. It destroyed her life having to do that
@@lesliemartin5559 But it was not ashamed by neighbours that daughter and grandchild were abandoned?
Born in 1966 to an unwed mother, I was one of those babies and my family kept me but I was always the family shame, the one nobody liked and as far as they were concerned, I ruined my mother’s life.
I just love this! I've seen a US version, but didn't know a UK version existed. I found it yesterday and have been binge watching ever since. It's beautifully done, and I just feel like I want to meet all these lovely people and wish them the best of everything.
Kudos to all involved, and thanks to the person who uploaded the episodes! :)
I was happy to find these too this past year. I like the respect that is shown when it is learned the one of the parties is deceased. Telling such info off camera in the UK is a much better way to go.
I just found the UK version as well. Loving every episode 😊
Esther’s story is hard. Having survived the Holocaust her family basically condemned her to live a life of pain and separation when they should of know how that destroys lives. Forcing the children to pay the sins of the parents is heartbreaking
That's what I was thinking. Their lived experience should have made them less judgmental and intolerant. But it did not. Also, Judaism goes through the maternal line. Regardless of paternity, all children of Esther are considered Jewish. So her family's disapproval of the boyfriend would make no difference.
the immediate " Oh hell no!" was honestly so real and lovely haha I am so happy for them all.
So glad to see in the update that Mark was able to reunite with his birth father, too!
Funny how people in a religion that is so strong on family can so callously reject their own grandchild. Such hypocrisy
Mindy McNamara It wrecked to think of the suffering the family endured during the holocaust , maybe losing family and friends. And to turn their backs on a baby !! Embarrassment maybe , or the fact that the dad wasn’t Jewish . But the baby was already conceived . 👑 🕊
@@marycook1644 The baby Was Jewish. Jewishness is passed through the motherline. His father could have been a chimpanzee,and he would still have been Jewish. Many people have been very surprised to learn that they are technically Jewish because X times granny was
I love how she said, “Oh, oh, HELL NO!” Im sure he listened to that, more than once. Perfect
Perfect indeed.
The Jewish mom is so beautiful she's got a really kind soul that comes through her kind eyes.
I would also look for this married father just to know who he was. He must have had a family and it's a small world.
Thank you so much Cinelic for uploading this episode.
So much appreciated. :)
Davina has the greatest smile!
Mark looks so much like his birth mother.
She looks like she has cataracs.
And they both are wearing quite a few rings on their fingers.
Carole De You are right . I did not think about that ! Strong genes there . She was a strong woman to meet him . Because her other children weren’t aware of his existence. Some woman have kept the secret for so long that they refuse to meet the one they gave up . It happened to my daughter-in-law . 🦋🐨
I noticed that as well. Especially when they smile. I just wished they lived closer together.
im from Philippines working here in Qatar..watching this program makes me relax and happy..God bless to your team
Thank you for putting these full episodes of llf on here. They are excellent videos. But where is season 8 episode 4?
Unfortunately, I don't have it at the moment. Been trying to procure it, and will keep trying! 😄
@@Cinelic I appreciate your efforts in bringing these episodes to us.
i just figured out why S8E4 is so hard to track down. probably because someone famous is in it. also, i see it on amazon prime.
@@Cinelic thank you so much for your work. i see S8E4 on amazon prime, but i haven't renewed my subscription so i haven't seen it.
It’s so interesting to see that mostly adopted men have problems struggling with feeling rejected.
while women often want to meet the bio mother to assure them that they are ok . And that they understand their mum made the greatest sacrifice, and how hard it must have been ,and hope that the mother is ok. Shows how different women and men are. ( to be clear I’ve also seen it the other way around, but this is what I’ve seen watching all these episodes)
Yes, my ex husband was adopted and he always said he wanted nothing to do with finding his mother since she rejected him!
I suppose the adopted women have a certain understanding that the men don't have, that is being a mother themselves made them be able to empathise with their birth mother better.
Whoa! Youre so right. I hadn't thought about that.
That’s a great insight. I had a friend that was adopted. He didn’t want to search because he said ‘if they didn’t want me, I don’t want them”. He always had relationship issues.
Because men basically never grow up. They need much more nurturing than we do. :-)
The UK version of this show is gold standard. The whole production, cinematography & musical score are well-curated & how a proper docuseries should be. The sceneries of UK are breathtaking to look at. And the hosts Nicky & Davina are both perfect for this. I also love how considerate the whole production is if a not so good news is to be told & they respect anyone who doesn’t want to appear on camera. You can also feel the raw emotions. It translates through the screen & never cease to make me cry.
Crying for 2 days straight bingin this show lord help me
Same! 4 days for me
I wonder if the birth fathers of some of these people recognize the photos and think....oh shit!!! I wish they would come forward and admit their involvement.
In all but a few circumstances, the birth fathers are cowards.
Who else loves it as I do when they say "so, this is where am gonna say goodbye, your mum is over there, good luck"
I hope this man can be an example to other adoptees that they were loved and not rejected. I cant imagine meeting the daughter you were forced to give up and finding a tall exquisite woman with the most loving heart. Their souls are very alike, each worried of the other.
Forget about young mothers giving away kids .... what about grandmothers mature wise and heartless. More concerned about what people will say and not caring for wellbeing of own grandchildren
“My Father Was A Married Man!” That would be a revelation to deal with. Julie seemed to take it all in stride but continued with her search for her birth mother!
Great job again Nicky and Davina!
Her ethno religious group greatly influenced her to put him up because the father wasn’t jewish.
Why is it always religious families that shunnes their kids when they get pregnant and are in need of support and love the most?
It isn't always religious families. It is also black demanding black, white demanding white, Asian demanding Asian. You cannot attend two different churches at the same time, and people that are more alike are more likely to get along.
It is all hypocrisy and indoctrination. I belong to a church that is very strict even till today. I also believe that God gave us the ability to use our brains to discern between good and evil. Rejecting or excommunicating a family because they got pregnant is just evil.
@@kosmos1957
So, "you can't attend two different churches at the same time" leads you to ADOPTION?!? Ridiculous!
Where is the fathers who could have done more than let his child's mother go into a home. Why did he not marry her?
Their imaginary friend is more important.
I wish My reunion with my birth mom had gone that way. I always imagined I would look like her and what it would be like and I never felt comfortable with her She didn't have any stories to tell me she didn't have any pictures She never cried seeing me or acted as if she missed me... She had a daughter a few years after me and I never really had a place in her life. I'm so happy for these people that get the reunion that they hoped for.
So sad that that happened to you! I wish for you that it could have been like these shows! I have a niece out there somewhere that I would like to find. She has two sisters who don't even know she exists! But I know and I would sure like to find her even though it's been 64 years since she was born ! 😢
I have been looking for my father for about 43 years. In the past year I have purchased the DNA kitsch from ancestry dna,23andme and my heritage but to no avail I still haven't found my father but I have found over 200,000 cousins. I'm all ears if someone can help me
WOW.. Mark looked a lot like his adopted family.....
It's horrible how the young mothers were treated back then......and tge families of these young girls.....SMH😢
Thank you,for sharing and uploading,Merry Christmas😘.
