Any parent who tells an adopted child they'll be sent back as some kind of disciplinary action is cruel and should not have the privilege of having that child.
I so agree! I wasn’t adopted but I was just as unwanted..My mother didn’t want me so she sent me off to my dads, he and his wife also found me to be a burden. I will never understand why people adopt kids or have babies but don’t want them. I ran away and raised myself at 12 yrs old. Thank goodness I did ok, I know I could have gotten messed up with the wrong crowd, but I did well. I don’t feel sorry for myself at all, but it just angers me how people find children to be so unimportant.
@@maryreynolds5310 My heart breaks to read your story, Mary. I'm so glad your strength and character carried you through to a good end, but you should never have been tasked with that. Much love to you and wishing you the absolute best ❤
Yes. It is how it should be. A good father teaches his son that they are never too old or it is never improper for getting affection from their father or giving such to him. The same goes with mothers and daughters.
Davina and Nicky should bring with them loads of paper tissues, taking in account the tears and emotional scenes I've seen. 😊 I appreciate and love the work they do, and the joy they bring to these families.❤
John’s adoptive parents making him feel that he wasn’t really a part of the family, but him not knowing why until the age of 13 when he inadvertently found out he was adopted. That despicable mother of his telling him when he misbehaved that she’d “send him back”. Sometimes I don’t know how people turned out decently.

I agree too, exactly my first thought as soon as I heard her voice,it's natural..❤very warm, tender and cozy,you'd literally fall asleep peacefully listen to her tell a story..
The two brothers are soooo sweet together. So lovely to see!!!! Blood is thicker than water. When they said love you to each other it was like they were connecting through their dad and mutually healing an open wound regarding their dad. The younger brother wanting his dad's love and the oldest brother wanting to be wanted by a family member
I feel so happy for John... he needed this more than anyone. Because unlike the others he didn’t have a good childhood and he always longed for his real family since 13. When someone needs it, it’s so great for them to at least get something close to what he wanted. His brother is really kind too just like him. I know they will be close from now on ❤️
I'm sure John and Steven will be close from this point onwards, I'm just always heartbroken by these stories of families not finding out about each other for 40 or more years. Adoption is finally becoming more open now, with some adoptive parents including bio parents and siblings as well as half-siblings in family gatherings and I think that is wonderful. Everyone has a need to know where they came from as evidenced by the millions of people taking advantage of the many ancestry websites available now to do DNA testing and let people know of relatives they may have had no idea about, or to find out how their families came to be in a certain country where they weren't born. I've joined that group, had my DNA done, and have discovered some wonderful things I never knew about grandparents and other relatives. For instance, my mother's last name showed up differently three generations ago. During my search for her background I came across a ship's manifest - the ship that my great-grandfather emigrated on; everything was handwritten in those days and a single letter in her last name, an "a", was written by the documenting clerk as an "o", and when my grandfather disembarked from the ship he decided to just leave the name with the "o" in it instead of doing all the paperwork that would have been required to explain the mistake and change it. My mother died before I did this research and I doubt that even she knew about it. I also discovered that one of my grandfathers, who was a dentist, was the first flying dentist in Canada. He had his dental office where they lived in northern Manitoba, but made monthly trips with a mobile dental office to the Northern Territories in Canada to do pro bono dental work in the severely deprived Indigenous towns and settlements.
I was 11 years old when a close relative told me that my mom left to NY (we were living in Puerto Rico) because she was pregnant. I didn’t believe him. At 14 while cleaning the closet I found my half brother birth certificate and the papers my mother relinquishing her maternal rights. My mom found out that I knew about it and started beating me every single day until I couldn’t no more. Wrote to my father who still lives in NYC that I wanted to go with him because of the beatings. He said no because he had a wife and a lover 😤 and obviously for him that was more pressing than his daughter’s needs. Fast forward I got pregnant in order to leave home and all I got was more beatings, he even threw food that was burning in the pots at me and I wound up in the hospital with my eldest son. Later I had a daughter with him. At 17 I left the kids with the paternal grandmother and went to NY. Nobody knew I was going to NY. I slept that day in the house of some people I met on the plane. Later I called my father and he picked me up me up, took me to where he was leaving, now his 3rd “wife” and I lasted about 2 months. Went to live with an aunt who was sweet for a couple of months until I was able to find me an apartment. I think that I may have found my half brother after DNA 🧬 because a close match that I have it’s either a great uncle or a half nephew. He lives nearby the city I used to live in NY and I’m probably going to see if I can find him. Because of his name on AncestryDNA and the city, I was able to find a picture of him. He played football 🏈 for his HS an and hoping someone can help me. I already called the school but they are not going to give out that information.
This is probably one of my most favorite episodes of this show. So moving for John to find what he longed for for so many years, a sense of belonging. And for two sisters to find eachother and be so welcoming and open. Amazing
How cute is Steven with how excited he is to meet is big brother John!?! Ahhhh 😆 he wants him to be in his wedding too!!! I can’t with the two of them so sweet and loving. They will have each other now and forever I hope. This show makes my heart sing!! 🥰🥰🥰 A new addiction, I’ve been binging for days.
Long Lost Family has been something positive to watch, with mostly happy endings, during these horrible times of Covid 19 and isolation and even rioting and violence on every bit of the news. It is getting me through. The two brothers on this episode were amazing - loved them!
Lol, I thought I was the only one! I have watched for almost a decade on TV and often now on TH-cam, I thought I should be used to it but no within 10 minutes, I have to get tissue to wipe my constant tears and snot😃, I just can't control myself.
This is the series I didn't know I needed. 2020 has been a helluva year, but this show has saved it for me. Even with all the ugly crying I've done during EVERY episode, I can't help binge watching every episode I can find. Just pure love and joy. Exactly what we all need right now! 😭😭😍🥰
I love how the spouses of the ones who’ve found family member who could tell them about a parent they’ve been looking for is so special. God Bless them!
December 1, 2023. Accidentally found this show several days ago and I am so pleased. Absolutely brilliant! This is the show I didn't know I needed, and this episode's the best. John's adopted mother was an evil person for saying such terrible thing to him when he was just a child. But luckily his new found brother Stephen's very empathetic, warm and kind. The two sisters ofcourse stole the show. They're genuinely happy to have each other. Thank you, Cinelic! ❤
The sisters, what a beautiful story, glad for them. And the brothers, it riped my heart out, the pain the older one had for so long, the pain of the younger one, seamed like it healed with knowing each other. Someone going to pay for cutting those onions, can barely see to type.
Absolutely. John adoptive mother was unkind to him so he only mentioned her once. He said he was treated differently. That really teared me up and was like a rip in my heart. Why adopt when you can't love. All his pent up pain was unleashed when he saw his dad's photo.I am glad he found his own an has a happy ending.
I have watched many episodes of this show, and I think this is the best one! Knew it was going to be something special when the spouses cried with joy at the good news.
What a wonderful couple of brothers…both so kind and loving! Nicky and Davina must have such fun bringing these people together! Jane and Allison are so wonderful together!
This program is done with such gentleness n care It’s gets emotional for us watching b/c we want the families to get together THANK YOU FOR SHARING sharing some of the news to some families off camera says a lot BEAUTIFUL PIROGRAM🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a horrible thing to say to a child; "if you are bad, we will send you back". Why did this women adopt a child only to make him feel how easily he can be removed from a home and returned to be unwanted again. Terrible person to say such a thing.
Adoption is a very emotional and hard process for all involved. Many people are broken, many have tried for years to be pregnant and suffering with mental illness due to the disappointment. Many have unrealistic dreams of parenthood and cope with the reality. Many think they will end up with a child they will instantly click with and mold into whatever they want but they end up with someone that is an actual person with their own personality and it may be significantly different than the adopted parents. None of that makes the abuse okay but it does give a broader picture.
@@billwilson5341Right, it was a magnanimous lie, a fraud to lead us all down a deep dark path, beginning with a diabolical injection. I pray we can stop this freight train! God Help Us All!
This woman (Jane) is soooooooo accepting of Allison having never met her! Absolutely no hard feelings! Her husband was just as exited about Allison! She has aa infectious since of “something” I cannot quite describe! As for John, what kind of mother tells her son; “If you don’t obey, we’ll send you back?” Glad his younger brother welcomed him! Thanks ITV For Another Great Episode!
How cruel for his adopted mother to say she will send him back if she doesn't behave. Would she say that to her natural birth children? No. No wonder he never felt a part.
love to Read I thought about this, but I often tell my daughter i’ll take her back to the hospital as a joke when she’s naughty... I gave birth to her.
My real parent never displayed a photo of me in the family home but all other siblings featured. I was never allowed to question why. I knew how the Elephant man felt especially when I entered the room and I wasn’t a particularly ugly baby.
Yeah you would be surprised i have lived with my birth parents my entire life. When I was 6 we moved to Canada to this day 20 years later when my mom I pissed at me she goes right to we should never have come here I should send you back then you would be better
Such a beautiful reaction from Jane's husband. Tears of joy hopefully for his darling wife. It's so had that John's mother said such things to him. It had to be such a shock when he learned the way he did that he was adopted. I hope that these people's lives are so much happier today. I wish I could find my sister. I haven't seen her since she was two or three. Her mom and my dad divorced and I never got to see her again. All I know is that she was adopted by her moms second husband.
Have you tried to go through some professionals to help you track down your sister and if not maybe contact this show ? I don't know if this show is still around or not but some of the people in it you could probably find and contact them
I've watched this twice in the last year and probably will again! It's one of the best Long Lost Family and such a terrible jerker! Thanks it warns my heart!
In a world that's often topsy turvy from hate and division, these shows are always so heartwarming. They remind us that loving connections with each other are what really matter in life. Bless them all...
Man, I was full of tears watching this. It's so nice to see such lovely stories. Many people have had heartaches. My family life was tough, unfortunately.
I wish them all much future happiness, especially John, he needs to feel that he is loved and belong, as well as everyone. I cried like a baby watching this episode. I really hope they all continue to stay in touch with one another.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY OF BOTH FAMILIES!!!!!! TRULY ARE THEY WONDERFUL AND LOVING PEOPLE!!!! I'M ELATED FOR THEM ALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS THEM IMMENSELY 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 BEST WISHES AND LOVE TO Y'ALL ❤️❤❤❤
I am watching this for the second time and I am still crying tears of joy for these dear families! How wonderful you who do the searching and help them reunite! Thank you 🙏
This documentary brings so much joy to my heart, although i live in the USA i somehow find being brought to England. I love this show, it soothes my soul
Everytime I watch these heartwarming LLF programmes, I send a prayer of thanks to God for reuniting families and then I send another prayer of gratitude for having my family around me. 🙏🙏
I watch these and think about the siblings I have who could not give a hoot about me, and these perfect strangers want so much to be in each other’s lives
My heart to his family. Can we talk about how brilliant Nikki is. The way he just rolls up in the homes and the infamous walk away. Davina us just so proper and let's them invite her in n her walk away is just different..I love it. I love both but Nikkis is epic just epic.
True brotherly love right there. Would be nice if the whole world was more compassionate towards one another. Wouldn't have to worry about senseless wars, crimes, criminals, or careless money hungry, greedy individuals that would do and say anything to stay above water. They don't have a care in the world for humanity. Instead of countries working together to find cures for different kinds of Cancers and ALL fatal diseases. Wish these brothers an amazing future with their new families. This is truly AWESOME!!
Happy all around. I thought the two sisters were so special and the one who lived in another country, how precious and kind her husband was. For the two brothers so much for them to come. I know from my own experience, you feel whole. For anyone rejecting meeting someone who is of your blood, you have no idea of what you are missing. These two sets are now whole and real life begins even in later years, every day is so special, precious and more.
So beautiful! To the women, blessings to you. May you find all the love possible. To the gentlemen, may God's deepest love be showered on you both. Thank you all for sharing your story...
The Reunions warms my heart, witnessing the love I’d never known between siblings. My own siblings are not nice people and have just about done me in. Best Wishes to all you Beautiful People!
Beautiful! To find their siblings and the love they all have is magnificent. I knew my parents, neither really wanted me they loved my younger sisters. So this is truly beautiful.
Thats absolutely horrible that Johns adopted Mother would threaten to send him back if he misbehaved, thats not discipline thats punishment, torment!!! Then to find out from his coach after looking at his B.C. that he was adopted must have been crushing and life changing for John😥😞.Its great that John has a loving family, children and a grandson..its clear to see that he's a loving,sweet,kind person..I hope everything worked out for him and his journey❤
My father is crying when he saw this video , because he also never see his father for 54 years, his father now he thinks living in the US and he doesn't have any connection to him till now , cause we are here in the Philippines, he only knew that his father is a US army soldier that been base in Olongga, Phillipines, his name is David Bramblett
I always thought I wanted to know who my birth parents were, but had a nagging feeling that it would bring me more pain than good. When I was contacted by my birth mother when I was 50, she told me that I was a product of a brutal rape that hospitalized her. Be careful of what you ask for, you may not be prepared to know.
Anyone know how Johns mom died at 19? Is there any extended family for her? These shows make me cry every time. I think my heart broke for John the most.
If the cause of John's mum's death wasn't mentioned in the video it's most likely because it's something the family don't want or feel necessary to share.
There is nothing like a sibling. My best friend was my brother and I miss him so much as he died too early. My other best friend was my cousin and we grew up like sisters. She also died too early. My other best friend is my younger brother. We fought like crazy as kids but are so close as adults. There's nothing like a family bond.
Amanda/Janes husband crying was so sweet. He obviously loves and supports her so much.
My thoughts precisely.
Any parent who tells an adopted child they'll be sent back as some kind of disciplinary action is cruel and should not have the privilege of having that child.

I loved when Alison's husband said " you have come full circle ", very spiritual man.
That was Amanda (Jane) Alison was the one with black hair.
The fact that both men were so comfortable showing affection for each other was wonderful and refreshing.
Yes. It is how it should be. A good father teaches his son that they are never too old or it is never improper for getting affection from their father or giving such to him. The same goes with mothers and daughters.
Am so happy for these families..... Jane's husband reaction was priceless!
The love between them captured in that single moment.

Why adopt him if they didn't want him
I like that they tell them hard to handle things like parent is dead etc off camera. Very respectful of this very personal and delicate journey..
One of the many reasons I love this show so much. Unlike in the US, it's not all about drama and shouldn't be.

My real parent never displayed a photo of me in the family home but all other siblings featured. I was never allowed to question why. I knew how the Elephant man felt especially when I entered the room and I wasn’t a particularly ugly baby.
@@Stiffd1 omg, how terrible. I'm so sorry. I hope you've gone on to have a loving family.
Yeah you would be surprised i have lived with my birth parents my entire life. When I was 6 we moved to Canada to this day 20 years later when my mom I pissed at me she goes right to we should never have come here I should send you back then you would be better
Such a beautiful reaction from Jane's husband. Tears of joy hopefully for his darling wife. It's so had that John's mother said such things to him. It had to be such a shock when he learned the way he did that he was adopted. I hope that these people's lives are so much happier today. I wish I could find my sister. I haven't seen her since she was two or three. Her mom and my dad divorced and I never got to see her again. All I know is that she was adopted by her moms second husband.
Have you tried to go through some professionals to help you track down your sister and if not maybe contact this show ?
I don't know if this show is still around or not but some of the people in it you could probably find and contact them
What wonderful reunions! The brothers were so immediately close and the sisters were so wonderful together,
I've watched this twice in the last year and probably will again! It's one of the best Long Lost Family and such a terrible jerker! Thanks it warns my heart!
I'm not crying; you're crying. Why do I watch these shows? Especially when cutting onions.
Aaaw. When the two bothers hugged, I got all the feels. Love this!
In a world that's often topsy turvy from hate and division, these shows are always so heartwarming. They remind us that loving connections with each other are what really matter in life. Bless them all...
Man, I was full of tears watching this. It's so nice to see such lovely stories. Many people have had heartaches. My family life was tough, unfortunately.
One of my favorite episodes! The love shown is so genuine and kind.
Words can't describe the incredible joy these shows, especially this one. Thank you to these families for sharing your stories! 💗
I love this program. No matter how hard I try I can't not cry from joy.
I wish them all much future happiness, especially John, he needs to feel that he is loved and belong, as well as everyone. I cried like a baby watching this episode. I really hope they all continue to stay in touch with one another.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY OF BOTH FAMILIES!!!!!! TRULY ARE THEY WONDERFUL AND LOVING PEOPLE!!!!
I'M ELATED FOR THEM ALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS THEM IMMENSELY 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 BEST WISHES AND LOVE TO Y'ALL ❤️❤❤❤
I am watching this for the second time and I am still crying tears of joy for these dear families! How wonderful you who do the searching and help them reunite! Thank you 🙏
I love that Jane’s hubby was so sweet to her
This documentary brings so much joy to my heart, although i live in the USA i somehow find being brought to England. I love this show, it soothes my soul
Everytime I watch these heartwarming LLF programmes, I send a prayer of thanks to God for reuniting families and then I send another prayer of gratitude for having my family around me. 🙏🙏
Narrator has a charming and kind voice, very pleasant and easy to hear.
Omg, Jane and her husband are a fairy tale.
I love how loving they are. Him crying and her brushing the tears off his cheek. What a lovely moment.
Nicky and Davina such a kind spiritual soul
'Wonderful program!! 'Cried all the way at through it. 'So happy for united family members!
Helps me realize how blessed I am to have had, and still have, so much family.
The updates with the instrumental of those strings being plucked gets me every time... 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I watch these and think about the siblings I have who could not give a hoot about me, and these perfect strangers want so much to be in each other’s lives
John's story is one of my favorite ever... Been watching this for so so many times☺❤❤❤more more new stories please 🙏
Wow Nicky's smile is sweet, he loves his job
Oh my so much warmth so much love so much happiness! This is my favorite aspect of TH-cam
My heart to his family.
Can we talk about how brilliant Nikki is. The way he just rolls up in the homes and the infamous walk away.
Davina us just so proper and let's them invite her in n her walk away is just different..I love it.
I love both but Nikkis is epic just epic.
True brotherly love right there. Would be nice if the whole world was more compassionate towards one another. Wouldn't have to worry about senseless wars, crimes, criminals, or careless money hungry, greedy individuals that would do and say anything to stay above water. They don't have a care in the world for humanity. Instead of countries working together to find cures for different kinds of Cancers and ALL fatal diseases. Wish these brothers an amazing future with their new families. This is truly AWESOME!!
Happy all around. I thought the two sisters were so special and the one who lived in another country, how precious and kind her husband was. For the two brothers so much for them to come. I know from my own experience, you feel whole. For anyone rejecting meeting someone who is of your blood, you have no idea of what you are missing. These two sets are now whole and real life begins even in later years, every day is so special, precious and more.
Is it a requirement on this show that all the clients live in beautiful homes with beautiful gardens? 😂😂
I love this series far better than the US . Americans don't show the raw emotions. They don't speak as kindly either. Huge difference !
God,i was so happy for John.i laughed and cried at the same time.he's a beautiful person inside and out
So beautiful! To the women, blessings to you. May you find all the love possible. To the gentlemen, may God's deepest love be showered on you both. Thank you all for sharing your story...
Beautiful stories. John though, he is like one of those very good wines. Aged well!
I love how the sister in Ethiopia talks, she talks like a superhero or a female David Attenborough :)
Her voice is like meditation. Both sisters sound and talk very simmilar.
Yes!! Spot on
After all the tears and pain, finally closures for John and Allison.
The Reunions warms my heart, witnessing the love I’d never known between siblings. My own siblings are not nice people and have just about done me in. Best Wishes to all you Beautiful People!
Emotions are so raw and pure...thanks for uploading 🌹
I love how these men are able to kiss and hug.❤
That house in Ethiopia looked so tranquil and chic.
Yes, like the occupants!
That garden!
But once you leave the house and enter the city - yikes!
its 2024 and this episode is just timeless, still beautiful to watch over and over again
That brothers embrace. What a great thing
I also have a brother in the UK that l wish I could find someday. Watching this gives me hope. How inspiring!
Beautiful! To find their siblings and the love they all have is magnificent. I knew my parents, neither really wanted me they loved my younger sisters. So this is truly beautiful.
I love how kind and genteel they are to each other. I love how age tempers us and focuses the real important thinks.
John reminds me of Paul Newman, big time!!!! Very likeable guy👍🔆💝
Me too! So handsome
They're no longer lonely Ones❤🤗
Thats absolutely horrible that Johns adopted Mother would threaten to send him back if he misbehaved, thats not discipline thats punishment, torment!!! Then to find out from his coach after looking at his B.C. that he was adopted must have been crushing and life changing for John😥😞.Its great that John has a loving family, children and a grandson..its clear to see that he's a loving,sweet,kind person..I hope everything worked out for him and his journey❤
I appreciate very much that difficult news is given off-camera (like death). So respectful and kind.
My father is crying when he saw this video , because he also never see his father for 54 years, his father now he thinks living in the US and he doesn't have any connection to him till now , cause we are here in the Philippines, he only knew that his father is a US army soldier that been base in Olongga, Phillipines, his name is David Bramblett
Lord find Mr. Bramblett
Did you sort through all of the many David Bramblett's on facebook? There are many, find the right age and go from there.
Hey, if you google "david bramblett veteran" that should really narrow your search.
I would do a dna test through 23andMe or Ancestry. You may find his birth family since many people in the US do these tests.
There are only 117 David Bramlett names in the whole USA database. If you haven’t found him or relatives reach out to me. I’ll help you.
I always thought I wanted to know who my birth parents were, but had a nagging feeling that it would bring me more pain than good. When I was contacted by my birth mother when I was 50, she told me that I was a product of a brutal rape that hospitalized her. Be careful of what you ask for, you may not be prepared to know.
This episode is my favorite so far. Every single person is lovely.
I just love this show, the presenters are so kind and committed to the task of finding loved ones.
Anyone know how Johns mom died at 19? Is there any extended family for her? These shows make me cry every time. I think my heart broke for John the most.
If the cause of John's mum's death wasn't mentioned in the video it's most likely because it's something the family don't want or feel necessary to share.
Im so happy for them. Im sobbing like a baby. So happy for them to have a belonging.
There is nothing like a sibling. My best friend was my brother and I miss him so much as he died too early. My other best friend was my cousin and we grew up like sisters. She also died too early. My other best friend is my younger brother. We fought like crazy as kids but are so close as adults. There's nothing like a family bond.
Can always count on you to brighten up the night, with these emotional, positive episodes 😍🌹💟
Hey Mike! Nice seeing you again, hahah. Give my regards to Elisabeth Larsen as well, hope you guys had an awesome New Year! ❤️
