My husband has a similar story. A man contacted him about 7 years ago wanting to show him something. They met. Long story short. They are natural brothers with same father and mother. He is the youngest of 5 kids. Both parents are deceased. Husbands mother told no one. It has been a great reunion though. He and my husband are the only children still living.
I'll never forget the day my biological sister called me and said to me, "Hi, I'm Mary your sister." All I could do was cry, scared my middle child, he didn't realize it was happy tears. My sister and one brother came to town to meet me that very weekend. What a reunion that was.
It was NOT ok that the hospital told these parents that their baby died. I have heard stories where parents were told their baby did not survive and the baby was sold on the black market. The grieving parents never thought to ask for the body to have a funeral.
My grandpa was adopted and there was only 2 people alive to say yes my great grandmother had a child. My great grandmother lived at a private all girls catholic school. She got pregnant at age 15 and had him a day after 16th birthday. She NEVER told anyone who the father was. Family rumor has said she was probably raped by a priest. The thought of what my great grandmother went threw and the secrets she held in at a young age and threw her life breaks my heart. Her own husband and 2 other sons didn't even know she had a child. My grandpa has met all the family they are so welcoming it's amazing. My great grandmother died July 20 1980 my sister was born July 28 1980 and going threw pictures the family gave my grandma I asked where the hell is this and why is my sister wearing that old dress. It was a picture of my great grandmother. My grandfather was adopted my a nurse and doctor that worked at the hospital he was born at and lived a very good life. He was married 62 years till my grandma died. He has 12 grandchildren 7 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. I'm glad this family got accepted into their extended family like we did.
They sometimes did that to make sure the biological parents didn't fight back for their baby during the legal interim since the adoption isn't automatic. It's a terrible and horrible practice, and so many hospitals did this to biological parents back then who already were heartbroken having to give their baby up.
@@fromthegetgo4981, agreed. I was born in the mid 1950's and didn't find out that one of my favorite aunts was actually a cousin until I was an adult. My aunt was a teen mother when she gave birth and her daughter was raised as if she was her sister. Imagine knowing that's your child but because of times and stigma you have to tell people it's your sibling.
Where all in the same boat nobody knows what its like or feels to know and to find out that you've been adopted thank God for ancestry and the DNA tests
Beautiful story!!!! I am so glad they found each other. Is it just me, though, or does the brother not seem too happy about the entire situation-- the comment about them staying all day, instead of an hour, and when they called him the middle child?

Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
That man gives me chills. His heart was so afraid of being hurt he almost missed it.
Well put.
I'll never forget the day my biological sister called me and said to me, "Hi, I'm Mary your sister." All I could do was cry, scared my middle child, he didn't realize it was happy tears. My sister and one brother came to town to meet me that very weekend. What a reunion that was.
I'm so happy for you!!
That is horrible that the bio parents were told their baby died! Someone made some big money selling babies! God Bless this family.. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Hello
It was mainly the Catholic Church responsible.
That or butter box babies. There's lots of pain to go around.
The adoption black market was huge in the 60’s and 70’s
All i can say is God is so good!! what a beautiful time now for the father

How moving this is.
Beautiful and sad
OMG! What a story
How terrible that they were told their baby had died - when they had already agreed to the adoption. What was that all about!?

How Elle

Having spent several hours with them, I don't think that's the case. Thanks for watching!
The sisters look like twins
Beautiful. But why would they be told the infant girl died? So they would have “closure”?
Sadly, that wasn't uncommon. It was often done so the birth family would "move on".
Wow
My family would be denial because all 4 kids do not match to anyone .
Why didn't they tell people that they had a baby who died?
Everybody should submit their DNA
I found 2 half-uncles on one side of my family. On the other side I found my adopted-out cousin that I had been waiting for!
