As a mother who relinquished my first daughter there’s a pain in my heart that is impossible to describe. These vignettes of broken up family’s struggling to regain wholeness help me to feel less isolated less “odd” The grief is difficult to describe. I am blessed that my daughter and I have a loving relationship.
As a childless mother, I can tell you that a mother NEVER forgets her child, even the ones who didn't make it to birth. Blessings on Sylvia and her lovely family! Hope they have years to celebrate their reunion.
God bless you sweet lady. A mothers love for her child never wavers and will always be true. God love you for enduring such heartache. All the best. Amen!
Sylvia's reunion with the children who had been taken away from her was so beautiful.There had been so much pain in her face.Grief.I'm happy they were reunited.
"I thought they were gojng to take both of us together somewhere, but they just took him away"........ God, that was the end for me....... That poor poor woman warned never to try and contact them again...... They say the world has gone soft, but that's better than this cold heartedness. 😭
I was just recommended this show (which I'd not heard of) and love it. But this story of Sylvia hit me in the heart. Her face showed exactly what you said. The look when he said he had pictures made me tear up--like a kid being told they can have a cookie. I am so glad she did get to be in contact with her children again. I logged on to say what you said, but you beat me to it.
Sylvia's story was heartwrenching. I'm in awe that she made a life for herself despite the crushing heartbreak and shame all those years. And to think her daughter's father could have shared more of the story to ease her fears that her mother didn't love her, yet he didn't. It's so cruel. But ultimately there was grace enough in this world to reunite them all. So amazing.
I HOPE YOU CAN NOW KNOW YOUR SELF WORTH, AND I PRAY TO GOD ALMIGHTY THAT YOU CAN REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE. YOU DESERVED IT, YOU BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. AMEN AND AMEN.
You have to wonder at what kind of people run social services after seeing how willing they are to break up families and cause this kind of lifetime pain. Shameful for them and those narrow minded town councils... I'm just so glad to see that these children found their Mom.
I find it curious, this "rule" that a woman had to be married being God's law. I don't feel God would want to inflict a lifetime of such grief and pain on people. Seems contrived to me.
Working in this system for the State of Oklahoma in the USA ....their are more foster children than adopted... especially if they are of color ..it is so very difficult to see these types of relationships and the result of all the trauma ....this program is done so respectfully ..TY
The line of the episode: When asked why she had a second child, Sylvia says; “I was married and you have sex with your husband, don’t you. And I got pregnant again, you know?” Sylvia had a valid point! Notice how delicate Nicky handles the questioning of Sylvia. Very respectful!
They’ve really got everything right. I like that the hosts are not present in the reunions which could potentially be a distraction. They just let the families go through the process organically, emotions and all.
@@neilcabudoc4841 I do not like the USA version of this show. They don’t come across as sincere hosts here. Even the American version of the British program Who Do You Think You Are is done with an exploitative angle. Here, they always hype and spin all for the sake of ratings!
@@givenscommunications6307 I’ve only discovered this show yesterday and I’ve been binge-watching the UK one. I have yet to watch an episode from the US version. Also, I just realized that I replied to a comment from 3 years ago! 😮 I really appreciate the reply.
@@neilcabudoc4841 I also discovered the British version of Long Lost Family in 2019. In a 5 week period I watched about 40 episodes! You just get hooked. When I get replies I always read them. Months later or years later! Some of these scenarios blow your mind. After a brain overload I will have to take a break. People do lots of things when they are desperate, facing family embarrassment, tossing a newborn in a trash can, leaving a newborn in a bathroom, facing being put out on the streets just for having a child out of wedlock or having a child with someone of a different race/nationality or think about a family who finds out they have a brother or sister they never knew existed. Long Lost Family has it all!. Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster! Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell are the best at doing these shows.
This show does an amazing job in the way they go through these stories. Such care and mindful-well thought out actions is taken in every step of complicated stories. Every case unique. Humanity and kindness is on display in ways that is often forgotten this day and age. It's refreshing and warms the heart. So glad to know it still exist. A television production with a moral compass?! Prayers for all the families on their journeys!
To the first mother ❤ You didn’t make a mess of your life! You left a marriage without Love, and you got no support. So glad you got back to your children and grandchildren ❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing ❤ ✨✨✨✨✨🌟✨✨
Such an injustice. Rather than try and help her and her children, let's rip them all apart. It's downright theft. They ought to all have some kind of recourse for this.
@@msoda8516 so true, my grandfather was an alcoholic and ended getting an infection in his leg he didn't take care of. The leg had to be removed, then he got cancer and they said "he can still work with one leg and exhausted from chemo", so they denied disability. So my grandmother applied to work EVERYWHERE and they told her that since she has 3 children, they don't believe she'll be reliable. Now we have the rights women/disabled/any minority fought their butts off for, people don't understand why we're unwilling to "give an inch"...it's because it takes decades to get back, if at all. OK SORRY FOR THE RANT!
So much pain and suffering. As a mom of two adopted children, adoption can be so painful for everyone involved, including the adoptive parents. It seems that no matter how loved the adopted child is they always wonder why and who the are. They feel a sense of rejection, no matter how much assurance you give them that they are so loved, wanted and they have worth. When our son was reunited w his biological family I cried for days about how much his parents had missed not knowing or raising such a lovely boy and knowing how painful all of their journey had been. In our son's case the parents had eventually went on to marry and had 3 daughters, who are our son's full biological sisters. There was such a resemblance and connection for me w his sisters that I felt I was seeing my son as a much younger child. Really an odd and unexplainable feeling. Speaking from an adoptive parent's perspective, there can be so much emotion and pain knowing your joy has caused someone else so much pain. That pain includes pain for our son. We have not found our daughter's birth parents. She is 34 now. This is wonderful that you are helping people on both sides resolve a life filled w uncertainty and question. Lovely, well done, touching series.
While she's holding her children's photos, Sylvia's "thank you" after she says shes got them back... 💔 Just those two words right there tells everything.
All of them so beautiful and touching! Congratulations to everyone. Family is the heart of all life. The lovely mother meeting her children, priceless.
So so so grateful to be able to witness someone like Sylvia get all the love that she deserves and to get her two babies back. My goodness I was in tears for her. What a heartbreaking situation
What an amazing episode. Sadness, joy, happiness, brokeness. I want to comment on two things, it is SHAMEFUL what the Council did breaking up families. Also, Sylvia should feel NO shame in living on a barge, are you kidding me? People WANT to live on them!
29:03 - perfectly timed humor break by Carolyn, the daughter upon first sight of 'fine mum' Sylvia's photo: "...and I hope I look like that when I'm eighty"- --Brilliant!!!
Both stories so heart breaking. I just found my father's family this year, and I could have known them sooner had my mother revealed who they were and she knew. Anyway, I was not expecting to find a family that were smart and or rich instead a logger style family. My great uncle was even famous, was awarded the OBE by King George for his scientific work during the war pinch me feel like a Cinderella. I love my father's family they are so kind and loving.
@@barryyourworld, she was a drunk, she never liked me even as a small child. The only reason she kept me is my grandfather told her if I was to be a girl she was to keep me. She had 2 boys prior to me out of wedlock and gave them up for adoption. Too be honest, I am still shocked to find that my father's family is not a logger style family I wont write more on them.
I love this show. I had a niece and two nephews the state took as babies. I was young but I remembered them. I spent over 30 years looking for them. 7 years ago I found them have yet to see in real. But I know the emotions these people go through. I love they can get the help to find them. It melts my heart.
Do you know how I found my father in the most remote area in a Third World country?? When my mom and grandma didn't want me to find him? I heard them talking about him and the company he was working at. That Same day, I went to a random guy who worked in the same company he got me the number after 2 days. I just left and went to my dad.
OMYGOSH! I've watched one at work, good thing my eyes water with the weather anyway, they didn't know but yeah, not a good idea to watch these at work! I love it that I found these!
I'm watching "long lost family " during my self quarantine from corona virus 2020 in Istanbul Turkey when I just gave up my relationship with my boyfriend.
Woah Sylvia's story really broke my heart. They lied to her and took her child away 😭. I feel for her. This is not like other cases. She was married and still everything went to hell and she went thru hell 😭. Poor woman. And yes her son is handsome! :')
Wow! What a wonderful reunion for brother and sister. ....So sad that Katie's dad died before she could find him, I am hoping she and her sisters can have relationship.
This is great nice i hope my mother will find her mother her family before its too late she is 78 yrs old already i know this is impossible but i prayed everynight that even her sibling is a miracle to find hope this miracle will come soon 😪
This is so heartbreaking. The atrocities committed historically are horrendous. Shame on theses people and my heart goes out to anyone and everyone affected.
With emotional stories like these( especially Sylvia's) who needs to chop onions?? On a serious note though, the atrocious way young mothers were treated back then makes me grateful I live in today's world, where struggling mothers are given help and not made to feel useless.....
Why is it the emotional weight of these situations always ends up in the person who least deserve it. Where is Carols father and why isn’t HE taking any responsibility?
@@prettygirl-jf5yb Its different according to which state she lives in or country. And how the law is observed by the people and the government/law enforcement. You need to look at the facts. And the law isn't always what you think it is. But I do think it is crazy all the couple's who are a few months or year or two apart and as soon as the boy turns 18 he gets charged for statutory rape. Also there are a lot of teens who date someone older.
These lives (note I didn’t say stories) are handled so kindly. Such sadness initially turned around and into such happiness. Humans just want to love and be loved.
I’m in the USA. If this show has been produced over here, they wouldn’t have told the sisters who their other sister was off camera. Telling them off camera is the dignified thing to do. Over here, they would have made a big deal about telling them who their sister was on camera, and I assumed they would have spruced up the acting if the hadn’t gone all hysterical When they found out. Also where “the intermediary advised that the sisters be told about KT off camera,” I’m glad they did that in the UK. If it had been here in the USA, the Intermediary Might have said that, but the sponsor would have said come on we want the ratings, And that probably would have won the day. I hope the two sisters got free tickets to that concert and got to go backstage.
SW2799 I feel the same about that. The show always seems to protect the dignity of their guests, unlike a couple American shows. Telling them about the passing of a family member off camera for instance
True.. I have watched the UK, US and AU version. The UK are done the best . I live in the US and sorry to say they do them the worst. I saw one where they called people on the phone and told them the person they are looking for is dead. I guess in the US its more about hunting for ratings...
Where the hell were her parents? Cant imagine being parent, and not helping my child and grandchildren escape a bad situation... there was clearly abuse happening for a mother to have felt the need to take her kids and flee into the streets... how could you look yourself in the mirror an ever call yourself a parent again much less claim to be religious? Hypocritical "Religion" and "sociital what is done ism" be damed 😭
Brandy Haynes They would have disowned her after getting pregnant so young. An ‘Embarrassment’. Which is disgusting. Any mistake my children make, they will still be my children.
Kt Tunstall WOW Woman just watched some Music Video's of you and Your VERY Talented .........Watched that Looping Vtdeo AWESOME...........Good for you............Great Story too.............
No one knows someone's situation until you actually have been through it and many times one has no control over things and many want to put the blame on one person when it takes two and I wish the best in all these situations and may there be healing and moving forward
I am glad that Silvia was giving the chance to meet her children again before her life will end. The U.K. Social Services should have supported the mother to stay with her children and not take them away.
It may be nitpicking, but I wish they wouldn’t put the words “adoptive mother.” She is her mother, period. I have no problem with the words “birth mother”, it shows a blood line and the fact she loved her enough to give her a chance at life
Meeting a famous person who happens to be your sister..... I’ve never heard of her, so that would have been awkward. But, I guess I would have pretended to know who she is and look her up later.
😢Sylvia's story broke me. How absolutely tragic. I'm so glad they've found her.
The first one had killed me. That poor mother...and the daughter both had been heartbroken for years.
And the son is such a good man I can tell.
Exactly, she never knew why her mom left seems like she had a hard life and the times was different as we know.
Sylvia named her other daughter Caron. A mix of both her older 2 kids names (Carol and Simon)
Wow the mother on the boat looked 20 yrs younger after all that pent up grief was lifted..blessings!
The thoughtfulness and care that you put into these searches and reunions is remarkable.
As a mother who relinquished my first daughter there’s a pain in my heart that is impossible to describe. These vignettes of broken up family’s struggling to regain wholeness help me to feel less isolated less “odd”

What a lovely and kind comment. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Sylvia's reunion with the children who had been taken away from her was so beautiful.There had been so much pain in her face.Grief.I'm happy they were reunited.
Never heard of a K T Tunstill before this video. She seems down to earth and kind to her mother.
"I thought they were gojng to take both of us together somewhere, but they just took him away"........ God, that was the end for me....... That poor poor woman warned never to try and contact them again...... They say the world has gone soft, but that's better than this cold heartedness. 😭
Incredibly sad.
Ironically, the British now take care of any POS that arrive in their country.
😖😭
Ou só right. Many things have changed for the better.
That poor woman 😢 the system really failed her. She begs for help to take care of her son and they take him away by force.
This is democracy. In Sariah law you won't find happening to siblings
Sylvia, a woman who thought that she deserved nothing, finally got what she truly deserved. (Sniffle...)
I know, she is so lovely through everything. She could be bitter - but no, just JOY in seeing her children

It's amazing how the producers got the format of the show right at the beginning. Nine seasons and I have not noticed any tweak.
Both the stories in this episode are so powerful. Love them.
Yes, you are right. Two very powerful and moving stories.
I wasn't aware of KT as an artist, but I must say she seems very grounded and it doesn't seem like fame has changed her!

I'm so happy we have finally realized it is so wrong to take children away from their parents who are homeless.
Why is it the emotional weight of these situations always ends up in the person who least deserve it. Where is Carols father and why isn’t HE taking any responsibility?
Dead
He was 20 she 16. Why didn't he go to jail?

That's just 4 years apart. My parents my grandparents and even my great grandparents are all 5 years apart in age.
Windy Hawthorn that’s illegal nowadays I believe he was over 18

Its different according to which state she lives in or country. And how the law is observed by the people and the government/law enforcement. You need to look at the facts. And the law isn't always what you think it is. But I do think it is crazy all the couple's who are a few months or year or two apart and as soon as the boy turns 18 he gets charged for statutory rape.
Also there are a lot of teens who date someone older.
The initial look on KT's face when she see's her Dad's photo...speak volumes.
What BEAUTIFUL BITTERSWEET stories !!! 😢❤☺
These lives (note I didn’t say stories) are handled so kindly. Such sadness initially turned around and into such happiness. Humans just want to love and be loved.
Beautiful...cannot stop tears falling down....
I’m in the USA. If this show has been produced over here, they wouldn’t have told the sisters who their other sister was off camera. Telling them off camera is the dignified thing to do. Over here, they would have made a big deal about telling them who their sister was on camera, and I assumed they would have spruced up the acting if the hadn’t gone all hysterical When they found out.
Also where “the intermediary advised that the sisters be told about KT off camera,” I’m glad they did that in the UK. If it had been here in the USA, the Intermediary Might have said that, but the sponsor would have said come on we want the ratings, And that probably would have won the day.
I hope the two sisters got free tickets to that concert and got to go backstage.
SW2799 I feel the same about that. The show always seems to protect the dignity of their guests, unlike a couple American shows. Telling them about the passing of a family member off camera for instance
True.. I have watched the UK, US and AU version. The UK are done the best . I live in the US and sorry to say they do them the worst. I saw one where they called people on the phone and told them the person they are looking for is dead. I guess in the US its more about hunting for ratings...
Where the hell were her parents? Cant imagine being parent, and not helping my child and grandchildren escape a bad situation... there was clearly abuse happening for a mother to have felt the need to take her kids and flee into the streets... how could you look yourself in the mirror an ever call yourself a parent again much less claim to be religious? Hypocritical "Religion" and "sociital what is done ism" be damed 😭
Brandy Haynes They would have disowned her after getting pregnant so young. An ‘Embarrassment’. Which is disgusting. Any mistake my children make, they will still be my children.
Kt Tunstall WOW Woman just watched some Music Video's of you and Your VERY Talented .........Watched that Looping Vtdeo AWESOME...........Good for you............Great Story too.............
i'm so glad they all got to reunite before it was too late. they needed this healing
This programme is amazing and breath taking. I would like to know how to contact your office.
Wow what a great episode
A Mother's love never fades.
This is one of my favorites!!!
No one knows someone's situation until you actually have been through it and many times one has no control over things and many want to put the blame on one person when it takes two and I wish the best in all these situations and may there be healing and moving forward
so happy for you all ... pray I get the same XO, Kelly
The children/adults who had been adopted are always very forgiving and accepting of their birth parents.
I'm so happy Sylvia is still alive and can see her children.
I am glad that Silvia was giving the chance to meet her children again before her life will end. The U.K. Social Services should have supported the mother to stay with her children and not take them away.
Mothers Really Love Their Children You Know .
Omg. Sylvia’s story is just heartbreaking. Glad that it had a happy ending. Bawling. 😫😫
Who else noticed carol looks like her mum
Wow! The secret of older people. Everyone has a past.
My heart breaks at some of the backstories. Too be told “you are worthless-your life is a mess” so glad Sylvia got to ‘reunite’
It may be nitpicking, but I wish they wouldn’t put the words “adoptive mother.” She is her mother, period. I have no problem with the words “birth mother”, it shows a blood line and the fact she loved her enough to give her a chance at life
ANOTHER GREAT SHOW KIDS AND THANKS ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Meeting a famous person who happens to be your sister..... I’ve never heard of her, so that would have been awkward. But, I guess I would have pretended to know who she is and look her up later.
