The Māori father showed his unconditional love to his long lost daughter by giving her royal traditional ceremony and a loving welcoming with all the extended family… because that’s his daughter and he wanted everyone to know : the ancestors and spiritual world and the whole world . That’s very important and noble what he just did. As his first born child she has greater mana inherited at birth.
Tautoko 💯

The second search, the lady
had so many relatives. They were all queuing up to get hugs & kisses.
Isn’t this reunion beautiful! Can you imagine meeting your Heavenly Father and He welcomes you into his home with all His angels! Wow what a day that will be!
The hakka gave me chills. To see her embraced by her culture she doesn't even know much about is awesome. God is good. I wish them many yrs together 😊
Haka is so moving. I can't imagine a more powerful welcome home to her. Bless her.
Both her Dad worried about rejection and herself worried about rejection. I am an American, and I had tears of joy for this beautiful culture and people who welcomed her with open arms. I am so happy that she finally feels home and feels the abundance of not only finding her Father, siblings and of the entire openness of this culture. I can imagine how her Spirit blossomed as they went through the welcome rituals. The unconditional love of this community is so refreshing (living through 2021). May our Creator Bless this lovely Family.
To be rejected and be welcomed like a queen on the other part is just beautiful
OMG! I'm crying like a baby over here. The second story is so sweet. I am beyond happy that her dads family loves her so very much. Shame on her mothers family for rejecting her because her skin wasn't dark enough for them.
That's what I first thought too, but after listening again I understood that it was because she was raised in a Pakeha-family ('white' Western immigrants) and was therefor totally disconnected to the Maori culture, something which obviously disturbed her mothers side so much that they rejected her. Sad of course.
Made me cry too ! when the older lady cried and hugged her....lovely family
@@birgittavanblitterswijk6998 yet the same facts are as nothing to her father's family
Crying, I was wailing... so happy.
it wasn't that her skin wasn't dark enough it was that she had no knowledge of her roots (whakapapa) which wasn't her fault
Melissa's husband is a good man. She's blessed. I'm glad she found her Dad.
Her husband was so supportive and happy for her. Very cool her husband, and Dad have things in common. I'm so happy she feels a connection with similar taste in music, which can mean a lot. Similar music brings people together.
Karen Holmes i thought the same. He’s the perfect dad for her. Amazing how these things work out sometimes.

@@sunjewel9064 - It just goes to show how alike people who are related can be, even when they've never met. Mel and her Dad are both independent spirits, kind and loving souls. He's going to fit right into their family!
Mel's husband came across as a very loving, kind and caring person ...a person who cares about his wife;s happiness ..a big hearted guy...that is what impressed me about this video this time
Wow this was amazing! The Maori family's story pulled at my heart n I was tearing but when the Haka part came I just cried for her n her connection with her beautiful culture and family.
Mel looks just like her dad. They have so much in common. Her husband seems to have found the perfect father in law.
Rikki's welcome by her father was very emotional. What a welcome !
Being of Maori descent and white Australian descent and coming out with tanned skin I was always not dark enough to really feel accepted by my Maori side and too dark to really fit in with my Australian side. So I did me and found my own family and fight on. The struggle is real for mixed blood children. 💜
I'd accept you Bro!!!
Be proud!!! We are all one big family 👅
if you were in nz you would of been accepted no matter the colour of your skin..
If that is you in the Avi, you look fairly indigenous to my American eyes.
Just a good tan, mixed blood people are fine looking people.👍
I am so sorry to hear this. Your pain is heard ! I can only hope that God is with you during your “ FIGHT ON & STRUGGLES.” I hope and pray one day that both sides of your heritage realizes that they are missing out on a FAMILY MEMBER = TRUE BLOOD 🩸
I will accept you in my FAMILY, No questions asked !
To me, Tahae Tate is the perfect definition of a true, honest and respectable man. Rikki meeting her whole Máori family was so incredibly touching and emotional. Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story. I wish the Tate family all the best for their future and years of happiness and contentment.
This is so great. Really loved the second one especially. So sad she was worried they wouldn't love her because of her mother. Shame on her mom for doing that to her.
When Rikki said she just wanted them to think of her as theirs my heart shattered into a million pieces. I wish her and her beautiful family all the best
That was so moving. Especially when the Maori dad said they always new of her spirit and that he had always been her dad. That got me.
I am so very impressed with the Maoris! This is what family is meant to be. So much love for each other!
So glad she finally found the love from her whanau and everything turned out for the best.
These type of shows always bring me to tears,, because out there somewhere I have a half sister whom I by some quirk of fate, I believe I actually met , she looked so much like my other half sister. I had no clue that my mother had given birth to another child, she did, but adopted her out. This woman told me that she was adopted. We attended Arthur Phillip High’ s “ night School” studying typing and shorthand , in 1965. I wish with all my heart that I could find her
Have you tried DNA testing? Try 23andMe and Ancestry. They all have different databases so you need to join them all.
Don't give up. Do your DNA testing with ancestry and 23&me. Then you uploaded to Myheritage, Gem match, Family tree DNA.
As far as I know I may have a niece out there that I will never know. What leads me to suspect this is one of my brothers while in college saw my oldest brothers girlfriends with a girl that strongly resembled our sister.
Good luck with your search
KEEP SEARCHING 🙏 Get a "My Heritage" kit and check their database. Write any TV show like this that searches for people. Start your own search...beginning with trails from the last meeting you had......ask students and teachers from back then, and so on 🙏 Please don't give up 🙏 Because often someone is just waiting and hoping to be found 🙏❤️
Rikki's story grabbed my heart! So lucky to be embraced by Fathers family!
The only thing that REALLY SUCKS about this particular series is that I can barely see the last couple days because my eyes are so swollen from crying while binge watching these incredible reunions! Unfortunately, I can relate all too well to the heartache of having a biological father who didn’t take any time or energy to get to know me until I started gaining serious recognition as a professional arena touring/recording drummer like he strived, struggled & failed to be during the 60’s & 70’s...
Sadly, heroin addiction destroyed SO MANY dreams & lives at that time, including my father....Sadly, this curse continues to destroy lives & generation after generation to this very day😳...
May God Have Mercy On Us ALL🙏✝️🙏
Razor Queen.....I am so sorry to hear about your pain 😢 May God heal your heart 🙏❤️
@@Vikingshop Thanks so much for the love🤗...
There’s been a lot of heartache throughout my life, but that same pain has also brought many blessings my way, and that pain is what brought me to my knees before Jesus Christ! There is NO greater blessing in the flesh or the spirit greater than that! I still struggle with my flesh daily, and there is sorrow in my heart for the ones I love the most here on earth who deny Him, but I will continue to pray for them, and I will endure to the end!
GBY🙏
@@razorqueen775What a POWERFUL TESTIMONY! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 May it lead others to the light of Christ, and may His favor rain down over your life! 🙏🏾💜🙏🏾
I'm so happy for Ricky to have found her family that welcomed her so beautifully in the Maori way. Not only does she have a family now but also her culture. Very heartwarming
What an amazing homecoming welcome for Wikitoria. I can feel their joy. These people are wonderful. What a rich culture they have.
How wonderful that her people welcomed her in their traditional way! Ooh it made me fill up!💗
The Maori ways are so beautiful ..Ricki deserved to have her family and learning her Maori ancestry and traditions❤💜
What beautiful beautiful people with the warmest of welcomes 🥰
Im so happy that Ricki belongs to this lovely family ❤️
Riki, best family reunion homecoming ever!!!! I felt like I was celebrating with all of them! You could just feel the sense of love and heartfelt soul bonding!
Melissa and her husband definitely soul mates.
Really beautiful story about Ricky. She has such an open, beautiful face. Her father has great dignity and now she has a proud and loving family.
That welcome ceremony was probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I long for this kind of love and big family. I have my family and I adore them, but we’ve all grown and moved and it’s not like that close culture where everyone is together. I cried happy tears for the whole family.
Beyond words and so emotionally moving. The Maori Welcome Haka was so powerful, have never seen anything like it. Absolutely soul-stirring and so spiritual. Wow! She so deserved such a royal welcome, I felt honoured to even witness it on video.
The lady before me commented that she was crying like a baby, the tears were pouring down my face too. That was some HAPPY ENDING! Well done everyone. Absolutely beautiful.
These stories are all so magical and absolutely riveting, I find it quite surprising they all evoke such an intense, overwhelming emotional response. I hardly ever cry but there is something about the parent-child relationship that has unique purity. It perfectly demonstrates unselfish love with no ulterior motives attached. Thank you for sharing these intensely personal moments and experiences, they are like a spiritual peep into the Heart of God.
Bravo!
Amor Vincit Omnia.
Yes these stories evoke an intense emotional response. Makes me think about the story about the lost son in the Bible.......received back home by his Father, who is running towards him and hugging his son 🙏❤️
I believe we are all created to belong to a family, who loves us and cares for us. The family was the first institution created as described in Genesis. And if we DID obey Gods commands we would not have broken families 😢
tears fell down my cheeks , the welcoming ceremony of the lost and found princess , she came to a very warm community , strong beautiful warm intact culture , wow .
I cried so much for Ricki and Tahir's story....may they have many more years together!!!
Here I am feeling the same joy and tears Ricki was feeling specially with that Hakka.. Finally, she will be appreciated as a person. God Bless her.
After all of the heartache, rejection and pain that she went through as a child, I am sure that the welcome from her own people was the most powerful experience of her life. It moved me deeply and I am just watching the footage. What a beautiful family. She deserves all of the love and affection that she is going to receive from now on.
❤️❤️❤️
The second one brought tears to my eyes.💗
Me too, crying like a baby
Me too!! My heart was just a hoe overjoyed with that second one. What a powerful welcoming. So happy for the beautiful reunion.
Lovely women finally getting the answers they need from their fathers. The last one was such a beautiful reunion. Feeling really loved can make such a difference in a soul,
Seeing her husband crying for happiness is so touching. At least she is blessed having a loving husband.
The last story is the best for me. She really belong to a family she never thought she had.
# happy for you
Cried like a little baby 😭. I love the feeling of connecting with their long lost family ♥️
Before this episode, I actually thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if two people approached one of these shows looking for each other." It was!
Ss happy for both girls finding their Dads. Love and Light to all.
You can literally see the song healing her heart
When I heard the Hakka I’ll start crying. OMG!! Beautiful 🌷🍃
God blessed this family
The first story the husband is happy with his wife meeting her dad😍
Omg im crying like a little baby,,im so happy for finding her father i just ill find my dad 1 day
Faith....try My Heritage's DNA kit and other DNA services like that. Their databases are huge....and growing 🙏
This was awesome d connection n bonding of her father n siblings, I was overwhelmed, God bless u n ur family
This is for me one of the most impressive reunions ever , so warm and welcome.
27:05 How heart-warming. Two very powerful words "You belong". 39:25 Fantastic.
This is my favorite episode of this show. Rikki’s homecoming and Mel and Luke’s love for one another are both so special in their own ways.
Unfortunately Tahae Tait passed away on 25/06/2018. I hope she had a good time left with her dad, he clearly loved her so much. What an amazing story, I’m still crying. 😢
Beautiful outcome ❤️
I’m so happy to see them come together as family.
As a 9 year old child living in Australia 53 years ago my class at school studied everything Maori for 4 months......The culture, art and history fascinated all of us and was a very inspiring class project. Being an indigenous Australian this class gave me the impetus to delve into my own amazing Aboriginal background.
I feel the love and pride in both of these families ❤️❤️ God had a plan🙏🏼🙏🏼
Best episode yet !! Beautiful to see families reunited in such a wonderful way. Blessings to all.
Can’t stop crying watching this. Happy she found her new family. Hope one day I will find mine too. Blessings.
what a coincidence..daughter looking for father, and father looking for daughter..and they asked the same program to help them.
This is the first video/show of Lost & Found that I have ever watched. I am in tears. They are all so fortunate to have found and accepted one another.
Love all these lost and found souls eventually reuniting. Very emotional and touching indeed.
I cried so much this was so beautiful I’m glad she found her family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mel, always remember that parents are not without blemishes, you are a beautiful person and remember it came from somewhere. I'm so happy for you and dad.
They all have lovely hearts the Maori family. So kind🥰
the first father and daughter look just alike so wonderful they reconnect.
This story of family touched me more than any of the others! Thank you, and I hope she has prospered within her heritage.
Amazing!
Tow beautiful finds! I wish both families all the very best with their future journeys with much happiness!
A blessing to come into her heritage and a majestic welcome by her people, a true testament of family, god bless y'all..amen
It is so nice that you get so many people together with their love ones God bless you Sir
Very touching and heartfelt, so happy they have all been reunited. All the very best for the future for you all. Cheers from Australia 👍🍺🥧🐨💖
Lovely story and a welcome to remember. A whole new family at the Marae
The Māori family was the most touching most beautiful, heartwarming and emotional family welcome. Loved it felt extremely happy for her and her beautiful family.
I'm so happy for her, she really blend with them. Finally. Godbless
Can't stop crying, beautiful reunion ❤
Just watching this brings an energy of pride in the Maori culture. What wonderful, spiritual people they are. I'm Welsh, and always loved watching NZ play rugby, they are a class above.
I am bawling- This is so Beautiful
Just brought me to tears...Just amazing
Wow.., this Maori culture is awesome..What a way to welcome a daughter if the soil.. and the Hakka song and dance was amazing...
Ricky’s story is hands down, THE BEST EVER! What lovely people all the way around! 🥰
I can relate to this lady, I was adopted by my grandparents. They loved me as their own. Happy memories.
The second story omg😭😭, so moving. I'm so happy for her 😭❤️❤️
I could not stop the tears. What a beautiful honor the Tate's showed his 1st born. They welcomed her in with such pride. I felt their hugs and the love they have for her.
I would love to see their journey. When Rikki takes her family to meet and be welcomed in like Rikki was. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
THat second story is Sooooooooooooo Beautiful - Could not stop crying - Really Beautiful
This brought me to tears, what a beautiful happing ending for all. I’m from America- not sure how this program popped up on my TH-cam feed but I’m addicted!!!
This was so emotionally beautiful to see. Bless Ricki’s father for honoring her in the welcome ceremony to his family 💕💕 So, so , heartfelt, I cried through the entire ceremony 💕
This is such an amazing and inspiring story Rikitoria is soon blessed with a fantastic family on her dad's side
Just beautiful to get such a warm welcome
I am always overwhelmed by these reunions and how the loving Father of all mankind (though many do not know Him as that ) would make the way for children to meet their parent and vise versa...He is in the midst of this that's for sure
I cried for Wikitoria (?). I really cried for her and her ohana.
I loved this one. It was so heartwarming. I just wanted to see more LOL.
I have watched this four times over the last year. It's a wonderful wonderful story.
Really happy for them.
