As a birth mother who unexpectedly found out about my son I gave up for adoption (back in 1983), in 2017, at 34 years of age, I am very curious if you have found out about your birth mother. Very happy that you have had great response from your biological dad's side.
The smile on your face tells such an amazing story. God bless your biological father for being so welcoming and genuine. You my friend are an inspiration.
This is amazing! You have a beautiful family wish you all nothing but the best♡ Loveddddddddd when your grandpa said what he said! He seemed so proud and thankful for you. God bless ♡
Ryan, this has been the most wonderful journey for you. Any biological parent would be extremely proud of you for the young man you have become. Wishing you continued happiness.
@@ToniandRyan I'm so happy for you, Ryan Jon! Oh how this must make you feel! And blessings to your [adopted] family for being so supportive ... I'm sure they knew the day would come when you needed to learn who you were, and it made them nervous ... but that's what real family is, I suppose, to stand with you when you need to be tall and strong! Have a WONDERFUL Christmas!
So when you said (in your other video) that your dad had a good sense of humor and was kind of quirky i was like "hmmm" and then saw in this video that he's from Louisian, I was like, "yep. checks out." Our people are unique. This is a fascinating story. Thanks for letting us follow!!!
You are so very lucky to find them, and they you. Some of us will never have those special moments. I know I don’t need to remind you to treasure them 🤗
It's so cool following your story to see a picture of you with people who share the same DNA as you do. What a beautiful thing. LOVE that you have so many love bugs in the USA! You share the same nose - and, it's a nice nose - with so many of your family members! I know there's more but that one stuck out to me...stuck out, not in a bad way...just our noses stick out first. :-)
Heartwarming ❤ Apparently i have a brother out there according to my dad. Still waiting to see if its true lol Ive taken an ancestry test also. And its crazy how big my family is
This is really cool, my little sister is adopted and has been such a blessing in our lives. But I often wonder if she feels like a part of her is missing not knowing anyone that shares her DNA. She turns 18 next year and therefore has every right to go find who she wants to find. My wife did find her (my sisters) grandfather who happens to live about 15-20 min form my parents and had no clue she exists.
This is a really cool story! So happy for you! Maybe it was said and I missed it somewhere but was your bio dad able to help you find your bio mother as well?
I tried getting in contact with my dad and his side of the family and they were not interested, I have been on communication with a cousin via email. I also have family in Australia I haven't been in contact with them, my cousin is Arron Finch the Cricket player.
Your half Yank! Congrats! Been trying to ehlp my brother connect with his birth dad aint going so well...now i have 3rd cousin on Anscerty that was adopted his parents took everything to grave with them I feel his bio father is a cousin of my mums but the Irish kept everything hush hush...
boy, that's a fact. spent 30 yrs hunting down my paternal grandmother, never found her but did find out that dad's parents were actually married as I got the divorce paper when he (grandfather) died.
I think the best part was your grandpa was so proud and happy to call you his grandson.
Yeah he was so excited
spit of the grandfather
You look like your grandpa

Glad all went well and you had a great time. Once you get the taste for Turkey you'll be back... and then there's the family thing too... jk...
I tasted the turkey and you are correct! I will be back!
Your grandad lives in my neck of the woods. Stop by next time for some jambalaya.

I'm curious if you have ever heard from your mom? Did you reach out to her?
Happy for you

I tried getting in contact with my dad and his side of the family and they were not interested, I have been on communication with a cousin via email. I also have family in Australia I haven't been in contact with them, my cousin is Arron Finch the Cricket player.

Were you able to also find your birth Mother's family? Did you find out who she is?

What hapoened to your bio mom?
Have you found your biological mom? Sorry if you’ve covered this already, I haven’t seen it.
