Her dad looks so overwhelmed. He probably wants to hug her and has missed her all those years but he's a stranger to her. I hope the girls stay in touch and Esther can rebuild a relationship with her biological father.
Agreed, and how difficult it must be for the sister in China to know her sister was kidnapped but lives well in America compared to her own life in China. And in reverse Esther probably feels lucky that, although she was forcibly kidnapped, she ended up in America living more comfortably than her birth family. I hope they stay in touch too.
@@sebastianasian A truth no one will admit to. During the Vietnam war, lots of Hmong parents fed their babies opium to keep them asleep or killed them just so the rest can live. It's a dark history everyone wants to keep hidden.
I agree! Laws are supposed to help the people, not to destroy them! When people in authority are evil, the decisions they make show it. Now they have a lack of women and have to find wives in other countries. The authorities played to be "god" but are not intelligent.
There are so many stories like this, I watched a video of a family who had their daughter taken away even though she was their only child! All for money, it's heartbreaking.
Sad indeed. But then again, this is the China Communist Part, what else do people expect. People want to see more stories like this, take a look at what the CCP is doing in Xi Jinping. CCP is human trash.
Enid Clarke Chinese government is the worse! They have no regards for human right and human lives. Caused so much sufferings in Chinese people. Including my father’s parents and relatives - all because different political believes.
They mentioned older sisters in the video, so these two would have been at least the third and fourth children. Not to say it isn't still unjust, but this wasn't the first pregnancy for their parents
MissTotos It’s so sad! I know it happens but for these American family to adopt them, the child must have been bought and adopted to them by adoption agency catering to international families. How are they still operating? I know China has one child policy but it’s twins. This case makes me question if the Chinese government is complicit or if they are incompetent.
This is so sad. I’m glad the daughter had good family and a nice upbringing. But I feel so bad for her biological family. They were truly robbed of having her. You could see in the mother’s face she was really upset but glad at the same time that she was praying while her daughter was gone she would be in a safe and loving environment. The father really wanted to hug her but it looked hard because they don’t really know each other. I hope they can all stay in touch and see each other as many times
@@Midnight0Mistress Cool. But it would be great if the adopted parents would've actually sent the child to mandarin classes even if she wasn't emersed in chinese culture. I'm not from America but I have a chinese friend adopted into a malay muslim family and his parents forced him to learn and make chinese friends. Now when his much older his thankful to his adopted parents for doing so. I'm not saying what's right or wrong but based on my friend's experience, maybe certain things could've been done better. Have a great day.😊😊😊
@@ERIN_GUNN I do understand, as per my earlier comment. My friend was found in a rubbish chute area. So yeah, roughly the same situation. His adopted parents could've forced malay culture on him as well but did not. They taught both to him and when he was at an older age he could've chosen whoch he wanted to be in. And on the basis that she's not going to use the language, it doesn't really matter. I asked his parents why they did so, they said that being in a different culture doesn't mean that you forget another. I do disagree with somethings that you've said but I fo agree that there are different situations.😊😊😊
@UCxc9q3IBHCD0W-Iko_kqDeg I did not say nor did I imply that they were bad parents. You did and as I said at the end of my previous comment, you were right with regards to situations being different for everyone. I just said what had happened in my life. 😊😊😊
I remembered when many Americans adopted cute cherub looking Chinese babies thinking they were saving them when in fact, they were enabling the Chinese government to profit from splitting family apart. I'm grateful that people are reuniting families, mending broken hearts, offering closure, and educating people like myself about the atrocity of the One Child Policy.
@@robertlee6338 It also can NOT be understated how dangerous it was for baby girls in China during this period, and not just from traffickers. Now I am not saying this family were a danger (though it seems the twins had older siblings which means they were already on a Chinese watchlist), but there is a reason why China is having a huge gender imbalance issue at this time. And of course since I am dealing with North Americans here, I have to put up a disclaimer than I am not supporting selling or trafficking babies.
@@robertlee6338 I think you missed my disclaimer. I am NOT American. I am NOT defending American corporations (ALL Americans seem to do that way too much). I do NOT have a high opinion of the USA (or China, Russia, Saudi Arabia). I was making the point that a lot more girls died in China because they were girls, than were adopted (which a lot of people seem to be trying to brush under the rug, much like what is currently happening to the Uighurs).
I understand about China's one child policy, and its purpose. But, this was a case of twins, a natural pregnancy (not IVF etc.), &, it was a terrible injustice to split up the birth family. As the stealing of the child by the state occured in the last 20 years or so, China should apologise to the birth family; &, China should pay the birth family, compensation for resulting emotional suffering, and lost relationships. May the birth parents and birth sister get the opportunity to really know their child/ daughter; &, vice versa.
Exactly. They blamed the family for something completely out of their control. And taking a child at that age who is bonded with a twin, no less, is absolutely cruel.
I'm a twin (female female twin) and couldn't imagine being torn apart from my sister no matter how much we fight and argue. I've been lucky to grow and play, and yes, argue and fight with mine and I hope twins (and siblings) who were torn apart find each other and stay in each other's lives. I hope these two do as well.
It hurt me when the adoptive family said let past be the past since it had a happy ending. Easy for them to say. The girl was snatched and given away without the birthj family's consent! I'm just watching this yet I feel pain!
I don't think that was the adoptive family. I think the interpreter was translating what the aunt and other relative was saying. It's a very Asian way of thinking.
You have to truly understand hardships in life to also understand letting go of the past. There will be no moving forward in life at all if you try to mend what cannot be repaired.
What a heartbreaking story for all of them - such a complicate bundle of emotions, too. The daughter was safe and well brought up, thank goodness, but the parents and sibling missed her and didn’t know for all those years. And now so much distance and time has passed, and the distance, language, and cultural differences will make it hard for them to stay in touch. I feel for all of them.
Oh my God, it's so heart breaking. Twins separated again. She wants her sister to stay. She should try to bring her sister to the States to visit a while. So sad! 😕☹️😢
The LA article says the journalist found the American twin a while ago but the family refused to cooperate as the husband had died a year before. They delayed this reunion by 8 years.
i am a twin and i just can't imagine bring separated with my twin. it's emotionally so traumatizing. it must be really tough for the family too because twins are not that common on many families. our family treats us precious becuz we are the first ever twins in our family.
Was supposed to be a happy moment but for me it wasn't. It was tragic and the narrator was very monotone so there didn't seem to be happiness in the reunion. Also being so far away from each other, when will they see each other again? Tragic!
From what I’m hearing in the comments, The stolen twin can’t speak mandarin. It’s almost like being so close yet so far. They’re all in the same room finally, but she can’t really communicate to them and they can’t express and tell her how much they’ve missed her. It’s a crime. I’m so sorry she and her family (both her birth and adoptive) have to suffer through this.
I can't believe they told the adopted parents that she was an abandoned baby! How many millions of others were ripped away from their families and lied about to adoptive families around the world? 💔 just so heartbreaking
HIDEOUS and EVIL what this family was put through, especially the trauma caused to the girls at age 2!! It's heartbreaking. It's apparent the love and sadness that her birth parents still feel. I hope this bitter sweet reunion will bring some much needed healing and that they will be able to salvage some sort of relationship moving forward.
As an adoptive mother this would be heart wrenching. My heart would be so broken for my child knowing it was a small fine that could have kept her with her birth family 😭😭. So glad they got rid of these laws in China, it seems so barbaric to steal a child away.
I think it’s important that if you’re adopting a child from another country, to find a a way to teach them their native language and culture. Most adoptees grow up wanting to know about where they came from.
Do you know that Someone loves you all so much, that He died for you??? Religion says do, Jesus Christ says, "Done! It Is Finished!" Your sin debt is Paid In Full!!! We are all infected with the virus called sin! Jesus is the cure!

When the gov said normal cows have 3 legs is right, they force the citizen to say the same thing. No matter how hard people outside the country say cows have 4 legs or even their eyes see cows have 4 legs. Separating family is easy for them. Look the uyghurs now
I begin to tear up watching them all eat together at the table. They were so loving and telling their story of what happened just broke my heart. GOD is sooooo good I wish them well while building awesome memories.
Such a sad story and to think how many children were taken and families had to suffer all these years. You can control having multiples either so its totally ridiculous to take one of the twins away. It’s not the same as having a baby and knowing the law and then continuing to have anything child which makes this even more upsetting.
Nothing about this is normal. As a long lost twin also sold into the adoption industry, we deserve and demand justice for what was stolen from us. 25 years without my twin that we will never be able to get back. And the future only hold more obstacles created by language, culture, and geographical barriers. Imperialism and colonialism and white supremacy bred high demand for foreign babies, and you all turned us into products. May the empires fall and may we all find the justice we deserve.
what are you even talking about, how is "white supremacy" the reason for the "high demand for foreign babies"? if they were racist, the opposite would happen
twin doesnt mean identical, if the mother was ovulating 2 ovum at the same time so they will totally diff, but if from 1 ovum splited so they will identic
@@cleareyes2254 they are identical, they have been tested for it. They just look a bit different because of different skin care regime and hairstyle i suppose
What a weird situation.. its like she knows she was stolen but at the same time was likely raised by a loving family that didn't know this... I can't imagine knowing you were taken from your real parents by force but now spent all of your life with another family..
I wonder what happened next? Did the sisters build a relationship? Did the one sister who lived in the United States visit and stay in contact with her family?
actually the kidnapper was just pretending to be the Chinese government. The one child policy does not include twins and triplets, for obvious reasons. Imagine them taking away every twin that was born, it is not practical nor wise.
That's crazy with the one-child policy. I was born in the 1990s in China and I have one older sister. So I don't know how does the government actually know if you have more than 1 child.
I just finished watching the documentary One Child Nation. I was so touched by this girl's story. Now I'm crying so much watching this video. so happy to see that they finally get reunited
When it is a poor area, people can be so horrible and done horrific things for money. They used one child policy to gain individual interest. I am sure the person sold her to orphanage didn’t give the money to government and the people who work from orphanage did not know these people stole the kids from parents. People are terrible when it comes to money. Hope younger generations can have better education and give girls the equal rights as boys.
It's so cruel. And now the same people who did this to them are asking people to have more children. They should start by officially apologizing to the families they ruined.
This is so dumb and so sad 😞 Like how tf you gonna take a child away for “violating a policy” over an unavoidable circumstance like birthing twins?? Like damnnn the parents didn’t CHOOSE to have two babies at the same time...it’s a natural occurrence 🤦🏽♀️
ι wαɴɴα вe тнe ĸιɴɢ 👑 Didn’t you pay attention? It said they had an older sister too. They weren’t allowed to have another pregnancy at all. I’m sure the officials just wanted a bribe rather than that they cared about overpopulation, but that’s a separate point.
Having watched other stories on the one child families. I see now that it was an easy way for loc government officials or even local governments employees to make extra cash. They found a family that had more than one child, took it and then ransom the child back. If the family could pay the child was given back for a shot time and then taken again until they were bled dry and then the child was put into the adoption machine. That way they could look like they were doing there job make a little extra and then putting them in to the adoption system the higher up got their money from the fees. You see those adoption fees never trickled down to the local people that’s why they basically extorted money. The local government had no intention of letting the family keep the child but that didn’t mean they could get a little something out of it either.
The children should hug the father and mother .. they are separated and it is enough to torment the longing by the mother and father .. hopefully the relationship will continue
This is why I no longer want to adopt internationally. Too many corrupted scenarios. I could not be a part of that. Would rather adopt domestically, though that has its fair share of problems too.
They used to do stuff like this in Ireland too. The church would take children from their mothers and then sell them abroad (often to the USA) for adoption. And yet people still don't understand why we're part of the Hague agreement. 🙄 😐 (People here get annoyed because the countries they can adopt from are limited to ones where they can investigate and ascertain that the children aren't being sold/stolen and the parents aren't being coerced, etc. Some people are so entitled and ignorant it's unreal. You do not have the right to have a child, it's children's rights we should be more concerned over.)
so, anyone who adopts from China could be taking a stolen child. I always wondered about that and thought that it must be true because it seemed unlikely that many chinese mothers would give up their child willingly.
People don't talk about it much anymore because it is a 40 year-old policy. It was meant to restrict China's population growth. The unintended effects were abortions, illegal adoptions, and infanticide of female babies. Chinese families prefer male heirs. Now there are more males than females and this may mean more bachelors won't have families to take care of them when they reach old age.
The hell!? This made me so sad. I also wish adoptive parents would not change these children's names and make an effort to retain their language/culture. It's amazing how similar they arem right down to their hair length!

I can't imagine letting your child leaving after she was taken as a young child. Seeing her get into the van and driving away again …
If the adoptive parents didn't know anything about the real story of her being confiscated and having a twin, how did they found out to do this reunion?
Very inspiring.Missing stolen children such as myself,what resources did you use to find birth parents? I'm from NZ,I live in Hawaii. 31,female. Barnaranated birth certificate not adopted..God bless
The family may say the past is the past because they’re just grateful that they we’re able to finally meet their daughter again, some families aren’t able to meet with their stolen children. That One Child policy is ridiculous
How absolutely horrific for the family. Thank goodness for the adoptive family giving her a good life. But how awful the twins and the family. I hope they can rebuild the relationships.
Such a wonderfully touching story and had me in tears almost immediately. Is incredible that we as a human race are so technologically advanced yet so primeval. I hope the twins have many opportunities to make up for lost time
There is some interesting sociology behind white Americans adopting Asian children, and several facets of pain. We see the biological family's pain here, thanks to shitty government policies. On the US side, there are many black and brown babies in desperate need of adoption, but who are passed over due to cultural stereotypes. There have been fascinating studies done to investigate the phenomenon of white families preferring to adopt children from Asia instead of black and brown babies in the US due to implicit bias based on racial stereotypes. It's sad but is also a good illustration of what modern racism in the US looks like - it tends to be based on well-meaning ignorance, not outright hate.
what a truly effed up world we live in. i've been watching these types of videos for the last 2 days and the fact that the gov'ts and/or people who make decisions, have the power over others to make such laws is inhumane. watching the pain that gets released and to be so overwhelmed with immense joy.....
The injustices are horrid. Jeremiah 10:23, "I well know...that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step."

Probably because he is too poor to tell her he is their father. Asian parents are willing to give up their child if they can have a better life.

Americans don't really care about other cultures and learning other languages. it's sad.

Communist China. 1 baby rule. They probably took her and put her into adoption to the west.
How do you steal someone’s child just to give them away?
That's what many adoptions are. Many women are coerced into giving their child up or in this case out right stolen.
The kid was sold. Money was exchanged. Probably saying it was for fees.

My heart is so touched by these beautiful twins that love each so dearly. Jus alike praise god there father they wanted to see all 3 are happy. Me too
So sad. They counted twins as violating law. Horrible!
Stealing their child then asking money for getting the child back?? Inhumanity
Such a sad story and to think how many children were taken and families had to suffer all these years. You can control having multiples either so its totally ridiculous to take one of the twins away. It’s not the same as having a baby and knowing the law and then continuing to have anything child which makes this even more upsetting.
How horrible for everyone involved! What an injustice 😔
Nothing about this is normal. As a long lost twin also sold into the adoption industry, we deserve and demand justice for what was stolen from us. 25 years without my twin that we will never be able to get back. And the future only hold more obstacles created by language, culture, and geographical barriers. Imperialism and colonialism and white supremacy bred high demand for foreign babies, and you all turned us into products. May the empires fall and may we all find the justice we deserve.
what are you even talking about, how is "white supremacy" the reason for the "high demand for foreign babies"? if they were racist, the opposite would happen
They look so different now~ It shows how environmental change affects a person.
twin doesnt mean identical, if the mother was ovulating 2 ovum at the same time so they will totally diff, but if from 1 ovum splited so they will identic
@@cleareyes2254 they are identical, they have been tested for it. They just look a bit different because of different skin care regime and hairstyle i suppose
Percy Cat I think if they had the same hair style they would be identical
What a weird situation.. its like she knows she was stolen but at the same time was likely raised by a loving family that didn't know this... I can't imagine knowing you were taken from your real parents by force but now spent all of your life with another family..
STOLEN?
WHO IS IN JAIL?
🤔🤨😤😤
Were they really "Chinese officials" or human traffickers taking advantage of the one-child policy?
I wonder what happened next? Did the sisters build a relationship? Did the one sister who lived in the United States visit and stay in contact with her family?
actually the kidnapper was just pretending to be the Chinese government. The one child policy does not include twins and triplets, for obvious reasons. Imagine them taking away every twin that was born, it is not practical nor wise.
I just saw this documentary on Netflix about this family. It’s called one child nation. I am glad they were able to reunite. 💕💕💕
I wish you and your sister all the best from Nova Scotia, Canada! Good luck!
This is unimaginable.. this poor family...
That's crazy with the one-child policy. I was born in the 1990s in China and I have one older sister. So I don't know how does the government actually know if you have more than 1 child.
I just finished watching the documentary One Child Nation. I was so touched by this girl's story. Now I'm crying so much watching this video. so happy to see that they finally get reunited
When it is a poor area, people can be so horrible and done horrific things for money. They used one child policy to gain individual interest. I am sure the person sold her to orphanage didn’t give the money to government and the people who work from orphanage did not know these people stole the kids from parents. People are terrible when it comes to money. Hope younger generations can have better education and give girls the equal rights as boys.
It's so cruel. And now the same people who did this to them are asking people to have more children. They should start by officially apologizing to the families they ruined.
That last hug broke my heart 😢😢💔💔💔
So BEAUTIFUL yet so SAD!!
This is so dumb and so sad 😞 Like how tf you gonna take a child away for “violating a policy” over an unavoidable circumstance like birthing twins?? Like damnnn the parents didn’t CHOOSE to have two babies at the same time...it’s a natural occurrence 🤦🏽♀️
ι wαɴɴα вe тнe ĸιɴɢ 👑 Didn’t you pay attention? It said they had an older sister too. They weren’t allowed to have another pregnancy at all. I’m sure the officials just wanted a bribe rather than that they cared about overpopulation, but that’s a separate point.
Especially when its twins like what
Having watched other stories on the one child families. I see now that it was an easy way for loc government officials or even local governments employees to make extra cash.
They found a family that had more than one child, took it and then ransom the child back. If the family could pay the child was given back for a shot time and then taken again until they were bled dry and then the child was put into the adoption machine.
That way they could look like they were doing there job make a little extra and then putting them in to the adoption system the higher up got their money from the fees.
You see those adoption fees never trickled down to the local people that’s why they basically extorted money. The local government had no intention of letting the family keep the child but that didn’t mean they could get a little something out of it either.
This also happened in the UK during the 80s and 60s single mothers were forced to give their children away.
The children should hug the father and mother .. they are separated and it is enough to torment the longing by the mother and father .. hopefully the relationship will continue
Came here from Amazon documentary. I’m so happy that they finally met. I’m in tears 😭
I did the same thing.
This is why I no longer want to adopt internationally. Too many corrupted scenarios. I could not be a part of that. Would rather adopt domestically, though that has its fair share of problems too.
They used to do stuff like this in Ireland too. The church would take children from their mothers and then sell them abroad (often to the USA) for adoption. And yet people still don't understand why we're part of the Hague agreement. 🙄 😐 (People here get annoyed because the countries they can adopt from are limited to ones where they can investigate and ascertain that the children aren't being sold/stolen and the parents aren't being coerced, etc. Some people are so entitled and ignorant it's unreal. You do not have the right to have a child, it's children's rights we should be more concerned over.)
So glad that they can meet
so, anyone who adopts from China could be taking a stolen child. I always wondered about that and thought that it must be true because it seemed unlikely that many chinese mothers would give up their child willingly.
The stolen twin looked like she didnt really want to be there. So emotionless unlike her sister and family. Her sister is hella pretty tho
It may because her adoptive and controlling mother was there...
@@Eric-qd1ot or that she thought she was abandoned all her life
Is this a practice? Why do we not hear more about it? And I would love some more information about the Amazon Documentary that others mentioned.
People don't talk about it much anymore because it is a 40 year-old policy. It was meant to restrict China's population growth. The unintended effects were abortions, illegal adoptions, and infanticide of female babies. Chinese families prefer male heirs. Now there are more males than females and this may mean more bachelors won't have families to take care of them when they reach old age.
That's upsetting.
I just found this after watching the documentary One Child Nation. It was shocking to find out what truely went on during those 35 years
The hell!? This made me so sad. I also wish adoptive parents would not change these children's names and make an effort to retain their language/culture. It's amazing how similar they arem right down to their hair length!
I can't imagine letting your child leaving after she was taken as a young child. Seeing her get into the van and driving away again …
So sad, the way the village took the child away.
1:16 the chinese dad is so touching
Twins should never be separated!
That is so wrong. On so many levels.
So beautiful time heals all
One child policy is an absolutely disgusting disgrace!
If the adoptive parents didn't know anything about the real story of her being confiscated and having a twin, how did they found out to do this reunion?
Heart breaking.
Very inspiring.Missing stolen children such as myself,what resources did you use to find birth parents? I'm from NZ,I live in Hawaii. 31,female. Barnaranated birth certificate not adopted..God bless
The biggest tragedy here is that they named the poor girl "Esther"🤢🤢
The family may say the past is the past because they’re just grateful that they we’re able to finally meet their daughter again, some families aren’t able to meet with their stolen children. That One Child policy is ridiculous
That's so sad. So incredibly sad.
Totally wicked and appalling government! 🤦🤦🏻♀️
Don't stop doing stuff like this... bravo!
It is not legal to adopt her....should take her back...
How absolutely horrific for the family. Thank goodness for the adoptive family giving her a good life. But how awful the twins and the family. I hope they can rebuild the relationships.
Such a wonderfully touching story and had me in tears almost immediately. Is incredible that we as a human race are so technologically advanced yet so primeval. I hope the twins have many opportunities to make up for lost time
Incredible story
There is some interesting sociology behind white Americans adopting Asian children, and several facets of pain. We see the biological family's pain here, thanks to shitty government policies. On the US side, there are many black and brown babies in desperate need of adoption, but who are passed over due to cultural stereotypes. There have been fascinating studies done to investigate the phenomenon of white families preferring to adopt children from Asia instead of black and brown babies in the US due to implicit bias based on racial stereotypes. It's sad but is also a good illustration of what modern racism in the US looks like - it tends to be based on well-meaning ignorance, not outright hate.
That's wrong if the stolen twin was not given back after knowing this
what are you talking about? she doesn't even know the language
what a truly effed up world we live in. i've been watching these types of videos for the last 2 days and the fact that the gov'ts and/or people who make decisions, have the power over others to make such laws is inhumane. watching the pain that gets released and to be so overwhelmed with immense joy.....
I really don't understand how someone can
O.K .All right.Agree that.
Twins aint subject to 1 child policy
The injustices are horrid. Jeremiah 10:23, "I well know...that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step."
Omg I'm bawling my eyes out.
Atleast they did not kill the other one they still have heart to let the other be adopted
