- I am ready to tell my story.
My upbringing was unique and special, and I hope that being open about my story serves as inspiration for others. I’m hoping my film, Closing the Circle, will help change the perception of “traditional” and open everyone’s eyes to the endless dynamics of family.
The most important thing you can learn in life is - family is not defined by blood. You choose your family (and you never let them go). While my metaphoric circle is finally closed; my mom, my dad and I will always be at the very center. The way they raised me and the lessons they've taught me will last for generations to come. My "new" family will carry on for generations, too!
I need to close by emphasizing how grateful I am. My story is extremely rare and many people who are adopted don’t get anywhere close to connecting with their birth family (if desired). I truly don’t know how I got so lucky.
If you enjoyed this film, please like and feel free to share with others.

Samantha.. this is amazing. You seem to have found tremendous strength through this, and so happy for you.
I am also adopted, I have not found anyone, this is really inspiring. 🙏
Thank you for watching. Have you tried searching yet? It can be very nerve wracking, so I can understand all the feelings you may be having!
I was adopted at age 2 in 1951. My parents always told me about it and promised to help me search for my family if I wanted. They gave me the adoption papers and it listed all the names. I realized I had a younger brother, one year younger than me. When I was 14, I got a small Honda scooter and got around the city better. A couple of times I was mistaken for someone else. I asked them to help me meet this other boy. As soon as I saw him, I knew it was him. My parents had cautioned me that if I ever did find him, he might not know about the adoption or that I was his brother. We chummed around a bit and then one time he took me to his house. His mother had passed away, but his father was home. I almost laughed when his father saw me. He knew the gig was up. We played some board games in the kitchen and I saw his father always looking around the corner at me. When I got home that night I was told I got a phone call. I answered it and heard, "You're my brother!"
congrat I feel you cause I found my family as well like this and how would they react etc.before that in the street i was wondering could it be them ...
