A beautiful story. My cousin gave up her baby and years later we found out that she is actually living 7 miles from my cousin in a town called Cairo Missouri my cousin lived in Excello, Missouri. Her daughters best friends were actually her cousins, that was the 2nd real surprise.
I love how the dad came back to rescue the mom and how the daughters are in complete shock at how the mom and dad seemed to have been healed because of the son's return. It's a true love story. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
My son would have been 50 yrs old this past September 2nd. I would cherish an opportunity to meet him. Being 15 yrs old meant I did what my parents told me to do at that time. There was ZERO tolerance for my situation. Things are so different now! Very happy for this family.
That must be so hard for you. Sending blessings! Have you thought of doing an Ancestry DNA test and seeing if you get any hits? Might have him or his children show up, you'd be surprised how fast that can happen!
i dont know your situation but people have sex at 14, 15 etc with a short term boyfriend one night stand etc get pregnant then the kid gets put up for adoption for peoples irresponsibility. quite often the women dont tell the father or dont even know who the father of the child is because they sleep with multiple people. theres no discipline or education. the kids suffer not those who created the lives. what annoys me if they give a child away then go on to have more kids. seriously
I glad his family raising turned out well! My Step sister adopted a baby girl after miscarriages and than not getting pregnant. She gave Nancy a wonderful life however she died of ovarian cancer when Nancy was in college. Her adopted Father died 10 years later. We keep somewhat in touch when I lived in Florida we met for lunch one day when to visit her step Mother whom she had a great relationship with. She also connected with birth Mother also. So there are good stories of meeting up later and being raised by a loving family!
The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) announced today that Dwight Shane Baldwin, more commonly known as Shane Baldwin, was sentenced to between four and 30 years for four counts of Securities Fraud and three counts of Communications Fraud, all 2nd Degree Felonies. Baldwin was prosecuted by the Mortgage and Financial Fraud Unit of the OAG after an investigation by the Utah Division of Securities and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
I'm so happy that the mom and dad stayed together.They were too young when they had him, but it's incredible they stuck together and they are a wonderful family
Liv I just read all about this guy. I was surprised, several million $ he took from investors. Beautiful story with a sad ending. I wonder if his parents ( biological) will have anything to do with him now ? Or if his siblings do. Not to mention his adoptive parents. I just have a difficult time trying to figure out how people will throw away their integrity without a second thought.
My husband was adopted almost 44 yrs ago and has resentment towards his biological mother and I can't figure out why, when the the parents he was given are the best ppl in the world!! I am sure his bio parents have their reasons..Im just grateful that he was brought into this world and his parents adopted him,because I love him more than life.
+Shelly Romer You really need to do lots and lots of reading to understand the trauma that adoptee's experience by the very nature of being adoptee's. It causes significant harm to many adoptee's. Just because he is angry, does not mean he can't love the people who raised him. They are not mutually exclusive. He was given away. If that doesn't affect someone's psyche, then I don't know what would. Please ensure you read, so that your comments or thoughts don't actually do more harm to his situation than good.
You are not adopted. so you may be clueless as to why but it's quite obvious to us adoptees as we get older why we have some resentment...Its quite obvious because even though the adopted baby has a "Perfect" life there is still a void for biological Dna that will NEVER EVER be filled unless of course you have kids. This was 2 years ago so hopefully you have some understanding now.
Shelly Romer Adoption only helps if the real parents are dead. Then the child knows he was wanted. I lost all my siblings to foster homes and adoptions. My little sister died before I could meet her! It's hell on us. My husband was adopted and it killed our marriage. Children must stay with their patents or blood relatives at all costs unless their lives are on the line and I do mean, on the line. Otherwise, another unwanted loose in the world, it's not a pretty site.
I was 17 when I was pregnant with my son, his father was also only 17. We did not have any support. We did not have money. But I gave a birth to my baby and we raised him. 2 days ago my beautiful son celebrated his 34th Birthday! I love my son with all my heart! I always was being for him and with him. I am happy that I did not miss any moment of his childhood. I feel so sorry for the parents who missed the opportunity to be a part of the formation of their son`s life. It sad! What a nice person is their son! God bless you, Shane!
You can also look at it from another perspective - that Shane brought joy to another family who couldn't have their own. Now Shane has two loving families
Shane as a birth mother I can tell you the love a mother has for her child is everlasting. It's so difficult to watch the pain she endured because it's true it shatters a part your soul. May you be able to find some peace in knowing your story.
I was 17 when I became pregnant and 18 by the time I had him. I was too selfish to even give thought to giving him up. There were multiple days I wondered if I did the right thing. I actually admire most that can make this unselfish decision. I could not and I’m very glad of that. Somehow we made it through and he is 35 yrs old and an awesome father and husband! He amazes me constantly!
This is a huge blessing to watch and especially to hear ! What an amazing young man! He is not afraid to praise God out loud to everyone ! And he obviously holds no grudge, but remains so thankful to God for arranging his life the way He did. Thank you Baldwins and especially our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ! Just wonderful !
Loved us bhsijugj it actually has never come to me. And I'm thankful for that. I'm not saying that's a bad thing what you doing putting yourself out there being women strong women I cannot and I know I never will Mary life too easy drill Acme disorder is this playing in this is private taking a stance you are my friend Ronda
I met my family for the first time almost a year ago. They all live within 30-40 minutes of my house. Shane mentions in the video that he ran over it in his head, but when he met them, he didn’t know what to say. That was also true for me. It’s also odd to how similar I was with my new family. I know a part of that is cultural, since we are from the same are, but some of the personality traits are really odd. I’m 54 and have known my father’s name since I was about six years old. I had done some online research and got the names of my three sisters, and sent them each a private FaceBook message. I am so glad I did this. Admittedly, I was afraid that I wouldn’t get a positive response. My experience has been so rewarding. Basically, I just had to face the fact that if I didn’t reach out, it was going to be my fault if I never met them. If you have an opportunity to meet some family that doesn’t know you, I suggest you try. If you are rejected, you are no worse off than you are now. Just be bold!!!
I love how he tells his bio parents that they made the right decision and he has no doubt. I think that could be the best thing to ever hear from you child who you gave up to have a better life.
I loved this story...You look just like your real dad and you have his smile...I am so happy for you all...🥰...A brother of mine got given up for adoption..But he found me after my mom had passed away in 97...He was able to meet our dad because our dad was his dad too...But then my dad passed away like 7/8 yrs later...But I'm just glad he was able to meet him...💗 So happy for you...
Loved this video and can totally relate as I was given up for adoption 3 days after I was born and just recently after 37 years discovered my birth family. I know have a huge family to get to know and know it was all in God' timing
Thank you for sharing your story Shane. We are about to reunite my mother in law with her birth family, before she will be turning quite a high age. Your story helps those comprehend the feelings that can go into something like this. Well done
@@Nutella0103 They didn't know at the time of the shooting that he was a criminal. Who knows maybe his real Dad is a criminal but never got caught. Maybe his adoptive parents were horrible. G-D only knows the truth
Cheri, at the time of this video was produced, Baldwin was being investigated. I believe he produced this video to swing juniors and to use as a manipulative tool...everyone is saying he looks like the SHORT Dad....that is because you want to see it. People tell me my nephew and I look alike...we are not biologically related in the slightest (he is my brother’s stepson) sadly, this dude preys on people...we (in this video) are witnessing how it’s done.
This is so beautiful. Your biological parents are so selfless and generous to have given you amazing opportunities. You get two wonderful families. Adoption is a gift.
I had two illegitimate children and no money for support, but one thing I just couldn't do is giving up my sons, I just couldn't. I supported them whereever I could, worked very hard so that they could study etc. Now they are grown up and both have good jobs.
Everybody's circumstances are different, each person makes decisions which they think will be best at the time, and yes, all of us look back and are maybe a little wiser, but for you to comment like you did, to try to make yourself look better, whilst more than likely upsetting others who were possibly forced to act differently, was a horrible thing to do, especially when you admit to a record of irresponsibility yoursel. Where were all your morals and ethics when it came to the two illegitimate children you created through failing to act responsibly? People in glass houses should not throw stones.
swagonwheels, I think we, as outsiders, have to be careful not to pass judgement on either birth Mom. Each one made, what they thought at the time, was the best decision for their babies' future.
You did exactly the right thing for both you and your son. I and my brother were given up for adoption when we were infants. Both of us were adopted into separate families but met in our teens. I have never not known I was adopted and in that, I knew I was really wanted by my new parents and brother and sister. I have no doubt in my mind, even though I have never met them or know the reasons, my parents did right, just as you did.
Bryan Lb get the book, remembering Cynthia rose...find out why thousands of parents are losing their children everyday!! I was coerced by the state or lose her sister, my daughter was coerced under threat of losing her other unborn children, one on the way. CPS has a big racket going....I will forever live in my nightmare as will her sister, without her. My daughter, her mother, got cancer without her child. Life ceases to exist without our children. There is a group of young people out there fighting the system called he Rainbow group or something similar ...it's been too long to remember, but get a report from your State Ombudsman on the amount of children in foster care and you won't believe it. One senator lost her life trying to save our children. She was on her way to Washington DC with proof of child trafficking...her and her husband were killed. The authorities said it was suicide and we all know better. We had just spoken with her. Get the book and type in senator Nancy Schaefer . God bless you. And yes, the adoptive parents know what's going on.
People can be so negative! Every person has their own set of circumstances! No one knows what the parents were going through although she says what she was going through, she may not know the words to describe what she was going through. Just be happy this family reunited!
In cases like this... if you wanted to keep the kid, you're kicked out of the house, cut off financially and disowned. If someone is 15, there's no way they can survive on their own unless they have support of some kind.
I hope that this story helps those who are going through difficult times. There is hope in the hard choices of life. Teenagers can't raise a child because they don't have the world experience. The words selfish can be raised on both sides, but we should never judge others who find their way home in the dark.
Tears - thanks for sharing your beautiful story. May all of you - adoptive parents too enjoy and long healthy life together. BLESSINGS to you ALL And Momma bear - I'm so glad you listened to the voices and signs and you are so right in every way. You did the right thing by your son by allowing another family to raise him. How precious you get him back in your life until the end of time now. Its wonderful seeing you and his father look at him. AMAZING GRACE in action. And I mean that amazing grace in action to all siblings and relations as well - just a perfect beginning of a new story for everyone. More TEARS and my heart is fuller - with love.
Makes me so hopeful for so many who are in this position. You need to know the reason, as to why you where Adopted out. This is the perfect example. What an Awesome feeling that this Story appears to be. For all who are bitter towards Biological Parents who gave them up,, Don't give up. it could be much better than you ever imagined. The Best of life to all involved.
5:54 I have the same shirt. It’s my favorite shirt. The fact that she chose that shirt to meet her brother tells me it might be one of her favorite shirts as well. I like that. In this disconnected world watching strangers sharing emotional journeys on the internet...I like that.
I grew up LDS. I, too, got pregnant at 15. I thought about adoption through the church. Four months into the pregnancy I miscarried the baby. Watching this story has put a loving feeling in my soul that my child would have been sooo alright in the world. Our Heavenly Father has blessed your life and had the adoption take place just so you could share your story with the world. May The Lord continue to bless your family and give you all joy unending. The grand children now have a lot of family and the stories and lessons you share with them will get them through life....alright!!!! XOXOXO
I’ve watched this so many time’s. What a fabulous, happy ending. Shayne looks just like Rusty! So many year’s ahead of making memories. What truly nice people.
Nice story...Thanks for sharing... Stories like this make us ALL realize to appreciate the gifts we have in our own lives and not take ANYONE for granted. We are all loved so much by others and most of all by God.
I would be so upset and hurt if both my bio parents stayed together, raised all these kids but I was the one they gave away, I would have felt completely depressed about it, he seems very at peace. Obviously this is not the first time he ment them
Guess you are not an adoptee because if you were you would have other thoughts.... We aren't born to be handed off to someone else, or to cater to someone's inability to have children, or to cave into their selfishness, or to have our identities stolen and our documents kept from us, or to be separated not only from parents, but siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, not to mention our ancestors and our cultures, religions, our languages, etc. Nor are we born to have others abuse us....
Wow . i feel so bad for the Bio-family and his children . To find your son and then lose him to prison . This story is so crazy having a hard time wrapping my mind around it !
This is the best I have seen ever about adoption. I love it. The positive nature of this is true that most adoptive families are wonderful people only trying to give back something they were ordained to do. God is great and He is in it all of the way. Its such a wonderful thing to hear him say his parents as in his adoptive parents and to hear him being so proud of his being their son. Its amazing thank you for posting this God bless.Added this.. I see the big picture here and this selfless wonderful act by the biological mom. Oh yes, this little boy was so wanted not just by her but, by the dad and of course the adoptive parents. I can go by saying this beautiful man can teach how great things can come of it. He is loving gentle and attentive to his family. What if she decided to abort him?? thats a question some of our adoptees may need to think about. I am so super proud of this woman. She truly did believe someone would gain a son. She believed she was obedient to God and for all those biological moms thank you for seeing it through. God would be so happy with your act of selflessness. To the great parenting of the adoptive parents. Well done! God continues to bless.
It is unusual because usually the young parents split up and any siblings are half siblings etc. I like the way they all respected each other including the son praising the parents who raised him who are not supplanted by this. I do not however think there are any circumstances in which I would not have raised my 5 children myself.
And for abortion. Women are condemned no matter what they choose. Hell, I have three and some people were surprised I got my tubes tied. You make such pretty babies, you should make more. Others told me I waited two kids too long. You can't fucking win. Unless you ignore the opinions and do what's best for you.
@@kosmos1957 ever thought about a. blokes dont get told b. women disappear when the man is away or at work(and they clear your house out too thats guaranteed) c. put another mans name on the birth certificate(or put father unknown) and d. call the man a deadbeat without knowing for sure hes the biological father(a common issue with women opening their fat mouths without thinking it through)
@@alfredoperri8076 You hit the nail on the head. People all over the country are discovering with an at home dna test that the man they believed to be their father, is not their father. I am a woman and I am so sick of this .... woman have to pay while men walk away. Lets assign men an equal portion of responsibility when they have equal say in the pregnancy and birth and are dna proven to father a child. Until then, women do carry the heavier load... by choice, not by force. You can dna test now while a child is in the womb.
True but how can you knock a girl for keeping her baby. The struggles they encounter must be so hard not to mention the financial side. This woman has some nerve to call these girls selfish. Is she the grandmother of this man.
Well, wow that's a twist. I have seen many reuniting videos, as TH-cam keeps presenting me and I don't know why. But... they make me happy. So, I've never seen a reuniting video where the original parents are still together and have more siblings for the adopted one. That's new to me. And you don't need a DNA proof. You totally look like your biological father. But you're Mama she moved me. She really made me cry. I hope you all are still happy and together as I see the video is 7 years old.
Sad story, he was arrested and sentenced up to 60 years
3 ปีที่แล้ว
@@randomvintagefilm273 I am totally shocked. Just checked it online, as I couldn't believe it. Yet another twist, unpredictable and unbelievably sad for the biological and social parents and siblings. Hard to take that one.
My bio ma closed adopted me cuz I wasn't born perfect. There was no love involved. Then I was adopted by abusers. This is the common story of most of us adoptees. Adoption is a way to get a meal ticket and punching bag wrapped up into one.
Been watching your video of you and your birth parent reuniting …🤗🕊🤍🕊🤗 for many years Can NOT put into words the JOY and genuine HAPPINESS ..I feel that un LOVE & God the HOLY TRINITY brought you & birth family TOGETHER again in HIS WISDOM .. AMEN 🕊✝️🕊 Enjoy never LET GO 🕯🕊🕯 of this infinite BLESSING GLORY to GOD 🤍🕊🤍
How wonderful, you can see the love in those parents eyes! Thank the Lord for the love they all share. God sees the bigger pictures of our lives, trust him to make all things beautiful.
What a beautiful family!!😍 And I love that his daughter now looks like his biological mother and father. 😊 the other kids too, but I saw his mother in his daughter. And it's crazy how much he's still like them down to the spiritual beliefs.
the look on the fathers face as he watches his first born...pure love.
How can anyone do anything except wish them all well....
A beautiful story. My cousin gave up her baby and years later we found out that she is actually living 7 miles from my cousin in a town called Cairo Missouri my cousin lived in Excello, Missouri.
Her daughters best friends were actually her cousins, that was the 2nd real surprise.
This is a very special situation and a blessing of how it turned out for the whole family. I wish them well.
I love how the dad came back to rescue the mom and how the daughters are in complete shock at how the mom and dad seemed to have been healed because of the son's return. It's a true love story. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
Well they said in the video that she was in salt lake and her husband was in Los Angeles at the time he was adopted. But that’s all I will go into
My son would have been 50 yrs old this past September 2nd. I would cherish an opportunity to meet him. Being 15 yrs old meant I did what my parents told me to do at that time. There was ZERO tolerance for my situation. Things are so different now! Very happy for this family.
That must be so hard for you. Sending blessings! Have you thought of doing an Ancestry DNA test and seeing if you get any hits? Might have him or his children show up, you'd be surprised how fast that can happen!
Thru ancestry DNA you can find him
Definitely get a DNA test done. 23andme, ancestry, my heritage.
i dont know your situation but people have sex at 14, 15 etc with a short term boyfriend one night stand etc get pregnant then the kid gets put up for adoption for peoples irresponsibility. quite often the women dont tell the father or dont even know who the father of the child is because they sleep with multiple people. theres no discipline or education. the kids suffer not those who created the lives. what annoys me if they give a child away then go on to have more kids. seriously
I hope he will come to find you!!
What a blessing he got to meet both of his parents.
Dad can’t stop looking at him he loves that dude he has taken a heavy weight off of his fathers heart ❤️
Maybe not so proud now he is in prison. Google his name.
I glad his family raising turned out well! My Step sister adopted a baby girl after miscarriages and than not getting pregnant. She gave Nancy a wonderful life however she died of ovarian cancer when Nancy was in college. Her adopted Father died 10 years later. We keep somewhat in touch when I lived in Florida we met for lunch one day when to visit her step Mother whom she had a great relationship with. She also connected with birth Mother also.

I adopted a wonderful child from Korea...she is a gem...what a wonderful weoman she has become.. she completes my life
I love how he tells his bio parents that they made the right decision and he has no doubt. I think that could be the best thing to ever hear from you child who you gave up to have a better life.
Sadly, Shane is a sociopath who scammed his birth parents out of thousands of dollars and is now serving a 60 year sentence in prison.
A fantastic story, they were so young, but also so full of love and understanding. ❤️
Why are there thumbs down? Who wouldn't like this blessing?😢 God bless this family

People in glass houses should not throw stones.
I really HATE that word illegitimate as it applies to Innocent children....
swagonwheels, I think we, as outsiders, have to be careful not to pass judgement on either birth Mom. Each one made, what they thought at the time, was the best decision for their babies' future.
@@momonie4 I wholeheartedly agree with you!
boer 902 :
What a wonderful sacrifice, and selfless act really gave this child a wonderful life, and came back to see them.
You did exactly the right thing for both you and your son. I and my brother were given up for adoption when we were infants. Both of us were adopted into separate families but met in our teens. I have never not known I was adopted and in that, I knew I was really wanted by my new parents and brother and sister. I have no doubt in my mind, even though I have never met them or know the reasons, my parents did right, just as you did.
Bryan Lb get the book, remembering Cynthia rose...find out why thousands of parents are losing their children everyday!! I was coerced by the state or lose her sister, my daughter was coerced under threat of losing her other unborn children, one on the way. CPS has a big racket going....I will forever live in my nightmare as will her sister, without her. My daughter, her mother, got cancer without her child. Life ceases to exist without our children. There is a group of young people out there fighting the system called he Rainbow group or something similar ...it's been too long to remember, but get a report from your State Ombudsman on the amount of children in foster care and you won't believe it. One senator lost her life trying to save our children. She was on her way to Washington DC with proof of child trafficking...her and her husband were killed. The authorities said it was suicide and we all know better. We had just spoken with her. Get the book and type in senator Nancy Schaefer . God bless you. And yes, the adoptive parents know what's going on.
The parents look at him with such a complete love, my heart.... ❤️
People can be so negative! Every person has their own set of circumstances! No one knows what the parents were going through although she says what she was going through, she may not know the words to describe what she was going through. Just be happy this family reunited!
Silly McAlpine You are a wise woman!!
In cases like this... if you wanted to keep the kid, you're kicked out of the house, cut off financially and disowned. If someone is 15, there's no way they can survive on their own unless they have support of some kind.
Sonya Moreno He wouldn’t be saying this if he stole your money. He stole millions of other peoples money. It has no bearing on his parents.
I hope that this story helps those who are going through difficult times. There is hope in the hard choices of life. Teenagers can't raise a child because they don't have the world experience. The words selfish can be raised on both sides, but we should never judge others who find their way home in the dark.
Great video. So happy for all you guys! Hugs!
Tears - thanks for sharing your beautiful story. May all of you - adoptive parents too enjoy and long healthy life together. BLESSINGS to you ALL
And Momma bear - I'm so glad you listened to the voices and signs and you are so right in every way. You did the right thing by your son by allowing another family to raise him. How precious you get him back in your life until the end of time now. Its wonderful seeing you and his father look at him. AMAZING GRACE in action.
And I mean that amazing grace in action to all siblings and relations as well - just a perfect beginning of a new story for everyone.
More TEARS and my heart is fuller - with love.
Adopted here! Most unselfish thing you could ever do!!!!! Thank you birth mom for adapting me out and thank you God for MY PARENTS!♡♡♡
Makes me so hopeful for so many who are in this position. You need to know the reason, as to why you where Adopted out. This is the perfect example. What an Awesome feeling that this Story appears to be. For all who are bitter towards Biological Parents who gave them up,, Don't give up. it could be much better than you ever imagined. The Best of life to all involved.
Thank you for doing this video. Everything happens for a reason. God bless Y'ALL
5:54 I have the same shirt. It’s my favorite shirt. The fact that she chose that shirt to meet her brother tells me it might be one of her favorite shirts as well.
I like that. In this disconnected world watching strangers sharing emotional journeys on the internet...I like that.
These are beautiful people. No one ever can put on the shoes of others and believe one has the right to judge them.
This could be the most satisfying video I've watched this year.
.
Wow the Lords timing is perfect....the parents are deeply hurt but the love in their eyes is overwhelming. ..the son is a gem...God bless you all.
I grew up LDS. I, too, got pregnant at 15. I thought about adoption through the church. Four months into the pregnancy I miscarried the baby. Watching this story has put a loving feeling in my soul that my child would have been sooo alright in the world. Our Heavenly Father has blessed your life and had the adoption take place just so you could share your story with the world. May The Lord continue to bless your family and give you all joy unending. The grand children now have a lot of family and the stories and lessons you share with them will get them through life....alright!!!! XOXOXO
This is a wonderful story! Shane looks a lot like his biological father. He looks a lot like one of his sisters, Elisha, as well.
I’ve watched this so many time’s. What a fabulous, happy ending. Shayne looks just like Rusty! So many year’s ahead of making memories. What truly nice people.
Janice Scott he is now in jail not a nice person you can google his name for info
These people are such amazing Christians.God is now blessing them by making it come full circle!
Nice story...Thanks for sharing... Stories like this make us ALL realize to appreciate the gifts we have in our own lives and not take ANYONE for granted. We are all loved so much by others and most of all by God.
I must have watched this video 50 times and still I will not get bored watching it so such a great story
Props to people that can do this but I would never be able to give up my child, no matter what. I was a teen mom, had my first child at 16.
Always different situations in different times.
A great testimony. God used it to heal me of guilt. Thank you.
He looks like Dad and dad is mesmerized by that son. Mom is so so cute. Now they are one special family.
This is such a beautiful family ! Made cry really touched my heart !
I just LOVE stories like this. Blessings to you all..
Now he has two families. This family seems so whole and very open and loving.
I would be so upset and hurt if both my bio parents stayed together, raised all these kids but I was the one they gave away, I would have felt completely depressed about it, he seems very at peace. Obviously this is not the first time he ment them
I just love the look on her face and her eyes when she is looking at him, it shows the love 💖 in her eyes
I agree
Wow he looks like his dad!
Momma Wendy but with a much worse personality
Very true
Don't why this was allowed
She's right; it's the most difficult but self-less act when parents released them to have a better life. I'm personal grateful.
Guess you are not an adoptee because if you were you would have other thoughts.... We aren't born to be handed off to someone else, or to cater to someone's inability to have children, or to cave into their selfishness, or to have our identities stolen and our documents kept from us, or to be separated not only from parents, but siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, not to mention our ancestors and our cultures, religions, our languages, etc. Nor are we born to have others abuse us....
Wow . i feel so bad for the Bio-family and his children . To find your son and then lose him to prison . This story is so crazy having a hard time wrapping my mind around it !
MISSY PETERS what happened to him?
Steven Bouchard He was like a mini Bernie Madoff! Ran a ponzi scheme and bilked investors out of $14M...
I know I googled his name and the prison sentence came up. I did have a strange feeling about him. Very sorry for the parents 😥
Yes, I believe he scammed these people too....trying to find that out right now....he may not even be theirs????
I don't think the bio family found him. I think it was the other way around. The son went looking for them
Great story, thx so much for sharing! Amazing parents & son & daughter
This is the best I have seen ever about adoption. I love it. The positive nature of this is true that most adoptive families are wonderful people only trying to give back something they were ordained to do. God is great and He is in it all of the way. Its such a wonderful thing to hear him say his parents as in his adoptive parents and to hear him being so proud of his being their son. Its amazing thank you for posting this God bless.Added this.. I see the big picture here and this selfless wonderful act by the biological mom. Oh yes, this little boy was so wanted not just by her but, by the dad and of course the adoptive parents. I can go by saying this beautiful man can teach how great things can come of it. He is loving gentle and attentive to his family. What if she decided to abort him?? thats a question some of our adoptees may need to think about. I am so super proud of this woman. She truly did believe someone would gain a son. She believed she was obedient to God and for all those biological moms thank you for seeing it through. God would be so happy with your act of selflessness. To the great parenting of the adoptive parents. Well done! God continues to bless.
Such a heartwarming video. Thanks for sharing.
The Dad is about to EXPLODE with pride and gratitude...! It is beautiful...!
Not the Mother though........
It is unusual because usually the young parents split up and any siblings are half siblings etc. I like the way they all respected each other including the son praising the parents who raised him who are not supplanted by this. I do not however think there are any circumstances in which I would not have raised my 5 children myself.
Would love a follow up. This was such an inspiring story.
Didn’t think of adoption that way. Thank you for this. 🙏🏽♥️
Is this the Shane Baldwin of silverleaf financial?
What a lovely amazing man Shane is wow!!, so happy this beautiful family got reunited!! Xx
Melissa F. M. He’s in prison
Stole over 14 million from people who trusted him. He is in prison for multiple counts of securities fraud.
It's so wonderful how everything turned out so well for the whole family.
Adopted son to his biological parents. You make the right decision, what a fantastic guy !
All I can say is HOW BEAUTIFUL
what a wonderful life and thank you for sharing
It seems women here get slammed for keeping their babies, and for giving them up for adoption.
Yep, damned if you do and damned if you don't and the babys dad can just disappear into the sunset with no social castigation.
And for abortion.
Women are condemned no matter what they choose.
Hell, I have three and some people were surprised I got my tubes tied. You make such pretty babies, you should make more. Others told me I waited two kids too long.
You can't fucking win. Unless you ignore the opinions and do what's best for you.
@@kosmos1957 ever thought about a. blokes dont get told b. women disappear when the man is away or at work(and they clear your house out too thats guaranteed) c. put another mans name on the birth certificate(or put father unknown) and d. call the man a deadbeat without knowing for sure hes the biological father(a common issue with women opening their fat mouths without thinking it through)
@@alfredoperri8076 You hit the nail on the head. People all over the country are discovering with an at home dna test that the man they believed to be their father, is not their father. I am a woman and I am so sick of this .... woman have to pay while men walk away. Lets assign men an equal portion of responsibility when they have equal say in the pregnancy and birth and are dna proven to father a child. Until then, women do carry the heavier load... by choice, not by force. You can dna test now while a child is in the womb.
True but how can you knock a girl for keeping her baby. The struggles they encounter must be so hard not to mention the financial side. This woman has some nerve to call these girls selfish. Is she the grandmother of this man.
My tears wouldn’t stop coming. What a beautiful family and story.
You really look like your father with the beauty of your mother. Great story!
Beautiful family! I wish them a long and happy fulfilled life together now!
I am glad he found his parents. He is copy of his mother also the eyes a bit like his mother. God bless them
Both his families must have been crushed when he was sentenced to 60 years in prison for scamming people. So sad!
God bless this family and I hope that they all have a life they can start from now and move on and be close to one another God bless all of you
mom and dad are to wonderful people, i love the mothers smile, so sad it has ended the way it did
Man that’s was beautiful video bro am happy for u and your family and you got 2 moms and 2 dads best of both world
My husband and I did an open adoption. My daughter knows all her birth family.
That's very smart. Congratulations to you and husband. Cheers!
Has anyone looked up Dwight "Shane" Baldwin? He was convicted of some financial crimes in 2015.
Who cares? Trying to throw shade?
OMG he was convicted and sentenced to 4 to 60 years in prison for fraud!

Who cares!
@@sharilee4412 Shocking in what seemed a happy ending story,feel for his family.
Wow the Dad & the son resemble each other so much even the hair & look at their hands & the way they're sitting & their jeans! It a trip!
Wow, if you're the same man I think you are you sure put them through a lot. Seems Heavenly Father brought you back. Blessings.
wow met my birth family glad i did because me and dad are so same my mama dies when 16 so i never knew my mother but rest of family yes and such joy
Kayla Zook j
Well, wow that's a twist. I have seen many reuniting videos, as TH-cam keeps presenting me and I don't know why. But... they make me happy. So, I've never seen a reuniting video where the original parents are still together and have more siblings for the adopted one. That's new to me. And you don't need a DNA proof. You totally look like your biological father. But you're Mama she moved me. She really made me cry. I hope you all are still happy and together as I see the video is 7 years old.
Sad story, he was arrested and sentenced up to 60 years
@@randomvintagefilm273 I am totally shocked. Just checked it online, as I couldn't believe it. Yet another twist, unpredictable and unbelievably sad for the biological and social parents and siblings. Hard to take that one.
God Bless you for putting your child 1st
My bio ma closed adopted me cuz I wasn't born perfect. There was no love involved. Then I was adopted by abusers. This is the common story of most of us adoptees. Adoption is a way to get a meal ticket and punching bag wrapped up into one.
Been watching your video of
you and your birth parent
reuniting …🤗🕊🤍🕊🤗
for many years
Can NOT put into words
the JOY and genuine
HAPPINESS ..I feel that
un LOVE & God the HOLY TRINITY
brought you & birth family TOGETHER
again in HIS WISDOM ..
AMEN 🕊✝️🕊
Enjoy never LET GO 🕯🕊🕯
of this infinite BLESSING
GLORY to GOD 🤍🕊🤍
Such a beautiful story. God bless the new road you all have together.
How wonderful, you can see the love in those parents eyes! Thank the Lord for the love they all share. God sees the bigger pictures of our lives, trust him to make all things beautiful.
What a beautiful family!!😍 And I love that his daughter now looks like his biological mother and father. 😊 the other kids too, but I saw his mother in his daughter. And it's crazy how much he's still like them down to the spiritual beliefs.
Shane, Adoption is good/great if the people who would adopt would love the child unconditionally because I read a lot of adoption with so much abuse.
The son looks and acts just like biological family. Very handsome. Awesome story.
What a wonderful story! ♥️
I am thinking of going for an adoption, I hope my husband agrees with me
And the kid is an amazing man ...i guess his parents are an amazing people as well
He looks like his father. All parties did the right thing. I am so glad they chose to give him life and a chance.
