When Jo's birth mother said Jo was a gem and she couldn't believe she was born to her, I can relate. My daughter is the sweetest, most caring, gentle little girl and I can't imagine she is my daughter. I don't want her to be anything like me.
One thing that is underestimated, is the fact that one can love his adoptive parents more than the biological ones. I cried so badly when my stepfather died, i realised that for me he is my father.
I found my birth family back in the early 90s here in Ontario, Canada. It was quite the experience and watching the experiences of everybody here reminds me so much of it! I had a very good experience ❤ my family, maternal and paternal, welcomed me with open arms
Even when it’s less than expected, or an unpleasant outcome it teaches you about yourself. I had a somewhat unpleasant experience with my birth mother but my birth father’s side welcomed me with open arms. Biological information alone is worth it!
What a wonderful reunion between the Fujian woman and her son. Absolutely beautiful indeed - they both yearned for one another - yearned for this meeting. I hope God blesses them all richly - including David the researcher/investigator.
I was told when I was fourteen. Bad time for a girl. I decided to see if they really wanted me and put them through a lot. So grateful my mom and dad stood by me. They were amazing parents. I miss them both terribly.
adoption agency's not make sure the adoptive parents follow the standard of always letting them know. That way it's never a big deal as it's always what they knew.
It shows no matter how good your adopted parents are people always still want to know their birth parents. There is a connection to who your birth parents are. Nurture vs. Nature.
@@HiddenCreaturesHQmost of the time it’s not that “they didn’t want you”. It is far more likely that they were too young or not financially able to care for the baby. Wanting a better life for your baby is a sacrifice, not a sign they didn’t want the baby.
When Viema said "my Hamish", that said it all. I wish in these circumstances, she could have written him a letter explaining why she was doing what she had to do. To give him what she was unable to give. The fact that the mothers were friends, it could have been so easy to keep this as an open adoption, and maybe avoid such heartache for all of them
I'm alway surprised when I find people who think it's a good idea to rip the carpet out from under the feet of a teenager - as if the teenage years aren't difficult enough. People who tell their adopted children the truth from the beginning probably do it best - the chosen children rather than the surprise children.
I think that's a bit unfair, really. His parents seem like loving, caring people who love him and gave him a good life and upbringing. I'm sure they thought about it all through the years and no time seemed quite right. Either he seemed too young to understand or everything was going so well and he was so happy they were afraid of shattering his peace and ruining his happiness. Maybe they even made a plan to tell him on a weekend so they could spend time with him as he took it in and answer his questions, but something happened to make it feel like a wrong time. Perhaps just before the planned weekend, some other disappointment happened, such as a bad grade or having a bad sports game, or they'd had to discipline him, etc. They wouldn't want him to relate the news with the idea of something "bad" so that he felt they were saying those two events were connected. In a child's mind, if told something like this after an argument or a misbehavior, it could feel like his parents were disappointed in him and "disowning" him and so they backed off to wait for another day. Time flies by when you're a parent and suddenly he was a teen and of an age to absolutely understand, but teens can have a lot of days where they're stressed and life can become tumultuous. But the ticking of the clock must have become very loud and they felt he needed to know so they picked their time as best they could. Did they wait too long and leave it a bit late? Maybe so. Or maybe not and waiting enabled him to have a happy childhood and to come to the realization, once told, of how much his parents loved him for him to have never doubted their parental love. I think they did the best they could for their son.
selfish, scared, bad advice , who knows why that happened, things are changing quickly now in all aspects of raising children. some bed, most very good.
The man that does the investigation and finds the families,is so compassionate and an amazing human to do this,if only our leaders were these types of men,so Happy for Hamish and his Fiji family,so happy,my face is washed w tears of joy.Beautiful beautiful family 🌎☮️🙏💛💛💛so happy for Joe Anne and her MoMA n step papa now,congratulations!!!🌎☮️💛💛💛🙏from Vancouver island Canada 🍁💛💛💛
I thought when I read this, aww come on give me a break. Now here I am crying my eyes out. So sweet how she just jumped into the mom role like they were never apart.
I love Long Lost family(UK version is the best), DNA Secrets, and the "I survived" episodes. You'll just keep crying and being amazed. I studied Sociology and just eat it up. It's like brain and soul food at the same time. (also White underbelly and Invisible People are pretty astounding)
With each reunion, I found myself weeping - I never had the blessing of meeting my birth-Mom but I did find my half-siblings about ten years ago in Grimsby England - it was a dream come true and a prayer answered., I am still in touch with the remaining birth family though we have never met in person and yet I dream that one day we might dtill - they mean everything to me. God bless the Detective who helped these adult children find their mothers - it is a wonderful thing to have done for them and their families
As an adoptive Mom of one child (born in Southeast Asia) now a thirty-four-year-old man, I am especially moved by these profoundly heartwarming & loving reunions, that I sobbed through both Hamish & Joe's touching stories...My eyes are still stinging...God bless both families whose lives have now been enriched in so many ways! ❤
I think it is the best think a mother can do to give up her child for adoption if she can't support the child. I think it is good to let the child know from the beginning he is adopted.
I was also adopted. Sadly not all adoption stories turn out so good. While my parents certainy tried, my mother wasn't the greatest and my dad just stayed clear of her, so she pretty much had a free hand to do whatever she wanted. Also, finding birth mothers also doesn't always turn out so great. Looking back, I'm certainly grateful my birth mother decided to not keep me, plus she also had another girl about 18 months before I was born...that didn't turn out so good either. But still I love to watch these stories....gives one hope for a better tomorrow!!!
The birth mother's are brave,we read about parents killing their kids,they gave the children away so they could have a better life than they could give them. Well in most cases.
I need to order a case of tissues. My stepdad asked me when I was 12 if he could adopt me. Mom never told me much about my birthdad. I did my own investigation on that and found that he died the day after I turned one. This video brings up so many emotions. It seemed like everyone in my family knew about the situation, everyone except me. I had to get death certificates of his immediate family. I now have medical history to provide to my doctors after 67 yrs of nothing to give them. I still have more to learn about my birthdad and his family but I am about 90% complete now. Yeah!
My FiL found out he had an adopted sister a couple of years back. She's adorable but unfortunately their mother didn't want her back in her life. It's a long and tragic story, but the sister tried contacting the family again after the mother had died. Some of the siblings have accepted her, some not, but at the end of the day, it wasn't of her making.. My FiL accepted her without hesitation, and it allowed a lot of pieces of their family's puzzle to slot into place.
It's vitally important for adoptive parents to be honest and open with their adopted child, about their birth family. In fact it should be compulsory for birth parents and adoptive parents are part of their lives
That’s not how it works.. adoptions used to be anonymous and for good reason. You give the kid up you don’t get to have a say in its upbringing. You can’t force people to do that.
There was a study on kids separated from their parents during the war. Some kids once grown, were really thrilled to find their biological parents and some had no interest, as they didn't remember them and they spoke a different language. We like to imagine that our bio parents are wonderful and will immediately love us when they meet us, but it does not always turn out that way.
Wonderful. Everyone deep inside wants to know. I do not believe children of surrogacy who say theyre grateful but do not feel any need. I think a person is capable of feeling grateful and a sense of loss at same time. Children of surragacy carry a burden of not wanting to hurt the parents and choose to subliminate their human need.
The rate of depression and anxiety in adopted people definitely suggests you are correct. I found and it wasn’t necessarily all good news, despite that, I’m so glad that I know the truth.
Thank God for these Birth Mothers, for giving birth to these beautiful humans. I admit, I once had an abortion at 7 weeks pregnant and only afterwards did I realize what a terribly, tragic Mistake I made. I am now anti-abortion, single, with no kids, alone with no friends or family, and poor as a bug. I really hope any young woman who reads this will learn from my mistakes.
I am so very sorry for your pain . One day you will be together in the next life with your baby . You are not alone as there are many who have regrets but forgive yourself.
Relinquished children always feel the pain of separation from birth mother at a cellular level. Adopters who don't recognise and validate this truth are stupid beyond belief. 😢 Ideally no chikd should be relinquished, but if they are, avenues should be there for them to know their origins, culture, language and values. 😢
Language is the most difficult part of that in many cases. If there aren't schools locally etc. teaching their heritage language. For reasons of cultural heritage etc. it's best if an adoption does happen, that it's a family of same heritage for those reasons
children should grow up knowing they were adopted and now are their child. I can't imagine my parents keeping that info from me. How could you ever trust them on anything ever again? I always knew, but after childhood, was never included as family as a adult. I don't think I considered them as my family either, so no blame , it's just the way it works. Blood is blood.
Not my experience. I didnt know i was adopted till i was 13. I was with my birth mother but my dad was my step dad . My actual father had wanted mum to abort. My step dads mother and sistervlooked after me when mum suspected the paid child care people were inadequate . Dad was courting mum at the time. I was never treated differently to the next 3 ch who were my half siblings but we feel like full siblings. It was a huge shock to find out i had a different father but i havent felt the need to track down that side of my family and i was very fond of dads parents my aunts uncles and cousins . As far as i am concerned the father who does the fathering is the real dad and the natural father us just the sperm donor if he doesnt choose to be a father
Not my experience at all. My parents are the ones who raised me and loved me not the woman who popped me out and took the cowardly route. You don’t speak for everyone.
@@Eva-nv5lw I'm sorry, I was talking about the rest of the fam. Not my parents at all. Glad you had such a great experience. Most do not. and I was only speaking for myself. sorry you misunderstood.
As upsetting as it is for adopted people, it IS the parent who gave up the child's right to say "I don't want any contact with the adopted child", means just that. That's the parent's right. The child has the right to ask, but not the right to see or talk to the parent that gave him/her up. As for family health history, I do believe that the child does have a right to that as it directly impacts them as well.
6:07 - THEY MAY NOT BE BIRTH MOTHER & FATHER BUT THEY ARE 100% PARENTS. Any woman can birth a child, and any man can sire a child but that only makes them related, it takes LOVE to make a family because sometimes... Sanguis Non Sufficit
I have an adopted son that I forget he was adopted at times. Being adopted means your parents sought you out because they wanted a child so much! My adopted son now knows his birth mom but still considers us his real parents. We had a natural son after him but our adopted son is closer to us than our birth son. Get over being adopted! Your parents chose you!
How single mothers by circumstance or choice....had so few options years ago....paid poorly, no day care or few housing options or support from many parents or community members. Still the case for many today...need to keep working towards better income, housing possibilities, daycare supports.
Why does the eldest child always physically mirror their mother so exactly? The first child always really mirrors their mother looks. (comment #4, LOL)
Mňa keby moja matka odložila nikdy ju nechcem už vidieť. DIEŤA JE BOŽÍ DAR NIE HRAČKA AJ V NAJŤAŽŠEJ SITUACII BY SOM TO NESPRAVILA VŽDY JE NIAKE VYCHODISKO 😊
I know someone that was the case. He sent letters that went unanswered. He finally showed up on his bio father's doorstep - and was told I don't want contact and left standing there. Adoption is a very tricky thing and there's no guarantee of a warm reunion. Men have no say in a pregnancy, and before the pill etc. women had no say either. We need to be very thankful for modern medicine
When Jo's birth mother said Jo was a gem and she couldn't believe she was born to her, I can relate. My daughter is the sweetest, most caring, gentle little girl and I can't imagine she is my daughter. I don't want her to be anything like me.
God bless you... just for saying that you're the sweetest best person too though you don't realize it.
One thing that is underestimated, is the fact that one can love his adoptive parents more than the biological ones.
I cried so badly when my stepfather died, i realised that for me he is my father.
They are your parents, being adopted can be a blessing. They loved you and provided for you. I understand needing to meet your birth mother.
I found my birth family back in the early 90s here in Ontario, Canada. It was quite the experience and watching the experiences of everybody here reminds me so much of it! I had a very good experience ❤ my family, maternal and paternal, welcomed me with open arms

She’s also the only parent I have heard apologise in the tens of episodes I have watched!

If a child can’t live with is birth parents. Foster family or adoption what is the best option do you think?
She didn’t give him away, she made the hardest decision a parent can make- to let him go because she couldn’t provide for him.
She didn’t “give him up!” She made an adoption plan for him.
It shows no matter how good your adopted parents are people always still want to know their birth parents. There is a connection to who your birth parents are. Nurture vs. Nature.
Not always. Many feel they’ve been disposed of and have no interest in finding them.
even if they didnt want you....
@@HiddenCreaturesHQmost of the time it’s not that “they didn’t want you”. It is far more likely that they were too young or not financially able to care for the baby. Wanting a better life for your baby is a sacrifice, not a sign they didn’t want the baby.

Heart-rendering stories... Beautiful folks...
Full of love and warmth...
@dennysmith7862 heart-rending*
"Rendering" means something entirely different. :-)
I like how Hamis put it: “I have an add-on family.”
Never regret telling your loved one the truth! Only regret that you didn't tell them sooner.

Just here in tears ❤ God bless you for the work you’re doing
Wow; I am bawling right along with Jo. Happy tears. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
The last mother is a nice person, asking for forgiveness. She really loves her daughter
Thankyou Joe and Margo for allowing us to witness your emotional reunion, my tears were pouring from my heart.!
Omg Hamish's story made me cry
Absolutely- waterworks all round
Me too!
I could not stop crying
Me too
I love how the show has the family reuniting in front of water. It’s like a rebirth/cleansing. ❤
Thank god for everyone involved in bringing peace and contentment and love back to these kids. ❤️🤗
🇬🇧🕊👑✝️👑🕊🇬🇧
David is so kind to help find mum and dad
Aside from
the reunions of lost relatives the locales being filmed are mindblowing... FIJI LONDON NEW ZEALAND. David Lomas rocks!!!
Jo's walk toward her mom... and her mom reaching out to hug her is crazy!😢❤
Ugh! What a WONDERFUL show! I was just balled up in tears!! I can’t wait for more just like em!
I thought when I read this, aww come on give me a break. Now here I am crying my eyes out. So sweet how she just jumped into the mom role like they were never apart.

Viema's BIG SMILE when she pushed the button on the laptop. 😭
this is about the third episode i have watched and i have cried in each episode.
Read your comment and was like aw that's sweet but I won't cry... cut to Hamish meeting his mum 😭😭😭
@@troublesome.94 i just watched that part again... and teared up again
Are there any UPDATE SHOWS ? Would like to know how these people have gotten on after finding each other
The tears in Donald's eyes as Jo's birth mom tears up about a baby she put up for adoption that wasn't even his.🥺 That's true love.
Yes , such sadness in his eyes .
I think it is the best think a mother can do to give up her child for adoption if she can't support the child. I think it is good to let the child know from the beginning he is adopted.
Hamish' story is so...overwhelming. I am crying like crazy. 😢
I think it’s good to meet his original family!

It? She!
I love fiji I miss it the people are beautiful friendly I’ve been there 3 times can’t wait to go back I’m so happy had me in tears
Great show, need plenty of tissues to watch it
Beautiful reunions, putting together the puzzles in their hearts. ❤
The birth mother's are brave,we read about parents killing their kids,they gave the children away so they could have a better life than they could give them. Well in most cases.
Dang these shows make me cry
I just love Donald I think he would have been the best Dad😉
I need to order a case of tissues.

Mom's left-handed, i wonder if Margo is too!
What a moving story. The end is beautiful.
My husband's friend was told at his 21st!!! It was tragic for him
Aww so wonderful praise you LORD JESUS bless the whole family ❤️
What a man this is in 1979 i went looking for my adopted brother i can relate to everything ime watching ime a 64 year old man and shedding tears
Gold star to donald! What a supportive partner!

I cried so much.

I like the way she uses the presenters name a lot.
I am in tears my brothers
What a sweet sweet man.
Why didn’t Hamis’s adopted parents tell him he had siblings. They must have known seeing as Hamis was the youngest and the mother’s were friends 🤔
Thank God for these Birth Mothers, for giving birth to these beautiful humans.

You can not dictate how people should feel.
I had to know my origins. I couldn’t get over that. It didn’t at all change the way I felt about my adoptive parents.
I'm in a restaurant. I can't cry. I can't cry! 😥 (ok, I didn't, but it took some self - control lol)
I don't know if it is due to trying to create a show but how can anybody believe or even ask if a mother has forgotten her son...
Struggle in life is the most common reason.
A DREAM COME ALIVE
The RIGHT is always tell the truth, the WRONG in when to tell the truth.
How single mothers by circumstance or choice....had so few options years ago....paid poorly, no day care or few housing options or support from many parents or community members. Still the case for many today...need to keep working towards better income, housing possibilities, daycare supports.
In my people, a child was never given away by will whatever may. It's the beauty of Islam, we thank God.
If parents die what happens to the child
Why does the eldest child always physically mirror their mother so exactly? The first child always really mirrors their mother looks. (comment #4, LOL)
Nope , not in my family .
No. Im the spitting image of my Dad and his side. Oldest of six.
Big mistake not telling the child all along
Mňa keby moja matka odložila nikdy ju nechcem už vidieť. DIEŤA JE BOŽÍ DAR NIE HRAČKA AJ V NAJŤAŽŠEJ SITUACII BY SOM TO NESPRAVILA VŽDY JE NIAKE VYCHODISKO 😊
I wonder if there are cases where a parent won't want to see the child they gave away, or a child who won't ant to see their biological parent.
I know someone that was the case. He sent letters that went unanswered. He finally showed up on his bio father's doorstep - and was told I don't want contact and left standing there. Adoption is a very tricky thing and there's no guarantee of a warm reunion. Men have no say in a pregnancy, and before the pill etc. women had no say either. We need to be very thankful for modern medicine
Please no music
LOL HE'S A """FIWI"""!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
