His son showed no resentment. Just joy and relief. What a blessing ❤
He obviously have a great Mom ... Blessings
Big ups to the mother for not teaching him to hate his father.
He is such a sweet boy, he embraced his father❤❤❤❤
He was releasing a lot that he been holding to and that was a dream to meet his dad one day ❤❤❤❤❤beautiful moment
Why should he hate the dad?
Love how he pulled mom into the moment too 🥹
That gave me Cold chills he immediately said thank you mom.
That’s so sweet and… confusing…I wonder what the back story is…
@@YaYa-zm3wu From the introduction and them shaking hands, it was as if Mom was meeting him for the first time too but Dad hugged her like he already knew her???? I wonder that the backstory is? 🤔
Maybe they were surprising their Son and that’s why he respectfully introduced his Mom to the “stranger”???
@@deedotson3687 I saw a snippet of another part of the story… apparently that’s not his bio mom. I think he was adopted
@@YaYa-zm3wuI would never understand this. If I was adopted I wouldn't want to see who gave me away. Fudge that.
He calls him his baby. He kisses him. His fatherly love is POWERFUL + INSTANT! WOW. How absolutely beautiful. His mom is just as shook and he is instantly mindful of her. HUGS.
Apparently the Dynamics was off with his mother, her response is as though she's never seen him before in her life. So, he must be adopted?!
Or artificial insemination @@patriciathompson466
I saw something different. Maybe cause I work in nursing homes I see the old men in there having regrets for abandoning their women and children. I see a man getting older and scared to be alone so last minute effort to make a connection with his son and the mother. This man is very very lucky that his son wanted to meet him. Funny, how all these men wait until they age old and fragile and weak to them want to love on their children. 😒
When he called him.baby ' 😢❤
@@sg5720I never lived with my father. I visited him where he lived minutes away. He didn't participate in my day-to-day life. He didn't pick me up from school but in latter years he moved to his hometown , joined church and then called me some Sundays. He wouldn't come visit me and my family. Later, there was some contact. I later became his caregiver as he was dying of cancer. It was a LOT for me/us because we went through my mother-in-law dying of cancer 2 years prior. Lord have mercy 😢😢😢😢
You can see that he was longing for that fatherly embrace. His mom did very well.he is also humble and respectful.
The way he went in for that hug keep us informed
The relief and amount of energy that this man just released with that first hug from his father says all we need to know about how important fathers are to their children. ❤
No matter the age, a male still needs his father. Men, please don't give up.
I never got an opportunity to hang with my dad till I was about 35 ....mom was tripping we walked my sis down the isle at her wedding he died 2 years later at 55 I still miss him my memories are just a few I miss him I domy best as a father
But he turned into a female
Congratulations family
So does a female. When I first met my dad I was about 10 years old. He didn't even keep up with my age because he had to ask me how old I was. I never saw him again or spoke to him again until I was a grown woman around 21 years old. I tried one more time in my thirties and that's when I finally gave up and just had to accept the fact this man didn't really want to be in my life. It really hurt me because I feel if I had a father in my life so many horrible things that happened to me would not have happened. So really you and a lot of other people really need to stop saying boys need their fathers or it's hard for a black man without a father. Girls need their fathers just as much and it's just as hard for a black woman because I wasn't dealt a great mother but I wish I could have at least had my father. I just had to figure things out for myself and that was very hard.
@@RicardoAlba-b2kthat’s mean
The young was raised with so much respect and love. Mom, you did an awesome job.
How is she going say it's nice to meet you?.🤔
@jadawooten8922 I'm pretty sure she's his foster mom I was thinking the same thing as you but then I saw the video of him meeting his brother & he said I'm your brother on ur mom side while she was standing there so I think she the foster mom if I'm not mistaken!!
He came out gay though. That’s not a good job😂😂😂😂
@@croc313 I was going to say the same thing, but I didn't want to get cancel, and I'm a no body, but I'm sure the cancel people would have still got me 🤣😂🤣
Yes
Dads reaction was so heart warming
Shell shocked
the son is a transformer
HE IS BUT HIS FATHER STILL ACCEPTS HIM FOR WHAT HE IS THE FATHER KNOWS IF HE WAS IN HIS LIFE HE PROBABLY WOULDNT HAD TURN OUT THAT WAY BUT WHO CARES IT IS WHAT IT IS
@@tashajamison8922wow
Dad is actually looking at himself , he’s a gay male as well . He’s dl but still a gay male .
Awwww!!! His face when he found out it was his father said sooooo much! What a blessing!!!!
I love how Dad held his son' neck not letting go. And held Mom too. Yeah this was deep!
I am crying with joy.
When his dad kissed his son's cheek the son melted, closed his eyes and sighed. He snuggled in and melted into his father's embrace. I cried watching this. Oh my goodness. God bless the reunited family ❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ blessings ❤ God is working ❤❤❤❤❤
❤
That got me too
Don't nobody care about your feelings Mama made a complete hoe out of him
He melted lol man yall crazy pause
I don’t know if anyone else notice that he actually closed his eyes && exhaled!!! This was a very SPECIAL moment in his Life…ONE THAT HE HAS LIVED FOR…
I saw that exhale too! 😊❤
It’s like something inside broke or melted!!!!😢😢😢
And the father caught it in that moment.
Yes!!!
Yes! I noticed that, too! But, you described it perfectly!
She's his adopted mother. So she is meeting his father also for the first time ❤️
Thanx for clarifying! I never seen this so was wondering. Pray the best for them all🙏
I was wondering why she said “ nice to meet you.”🤔Makes sense now.
Ok because I was about to say, she don't know who she had a child by 😖
@@CiHolidayI was wondering too
Ok❤
This shows the reason children need both healthy parents in their lives.
This Dad is so cool. You can tell he's been doing the internal work. Not only did he embrace his son, he thanked the Mom for holding things down in his absence. Much prayer going up for this family unit.
It did not matter how this young man looked or how he lives his life he loves his Son unconditionally from the very start. Heart warming
His father accepted him, as he is.
Boys really need their Fathers
Are y’all assuming that he’s gay or something?😂
No stupid @@ace4384
@@ace4384yes bro. Let’s not act like stereotypes exist 😂
and they’re USUALLY accurate.
Accepted him from the jump
SWEET
Accepted? We don't know that. But he did embrace him.
@@sfwatxyo2162thats called acceptance love.. 98% of black men who find out their sons are gay will never touch them nor step up… so stop with the semantics
He'll accept him! 😀
That would be a tough one for me
Thank you Lord we have a lot to talk about this is a blessing they both are feeling each other and I think it's a new beginning by being accepted by each other you can't judge a book by its cover until you read it from the index to the glossary
Aww his daddy kissing him ❤ hes been waiting for his son
He needed a man in his life. Praying for healing and deliverance.
Definitely, he is not in his masculine frame at all..
@@lynnz-rj2dl Amen
100%
They do have a lot to talk about
He is delivert!!! 😂
The love of a daddy's hug still does it even after years.
He looks like his father 😊
😊 Yes he does ❤
He looks nothing like him look like his mother
@@phenomenalwife5380 According to some of the comments, the mom isn't his biological mom. She adopted him.
@@phenomenalwife5380 when you look at features the round face, the eyes, nose, mouth and his height.
The only thing he doesn't have is his father's skin color ❤!
Where he looks Nunn like that man or mother
The way he embraces and acknowledges his child is truly the love of a parent that can't be replaced. Love it!
His Dad uses words like; "Father, Blessing, and Thank You Lord" For whatever reason that caused their separation, this man (and his son) serm very genuine and sincere about making this a renewed and everlasting relationship. I hope they stay close, and learn how to love one another, and be there for on another. I got a feeling they're gonna both be just fine. Very touching! ❤
Yes… I completely agree with you. ❤❤❤
The light in his eyes when he talks about his father.
The mum did a wonderful job. Did not instill in him hate and resentment towards his dad. Blessed family 🙏
Yes the mother did an awesome job raising him. No regrets, no hard feelings. They both thanked God. ❤🥰🥹
That Baby healing while he being held ❤🎉❤😂❤🎉❤💪🏾👑🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
❤❤❤
So true !!!
No walls, no barriers, just open hearts and forgiveness.. what a beautiful reunification. Thanks mom for being awesome and supportive🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
He's such a baby he's so sweet it's like a Lost Child been searching for his father his whole entire life God bless you take care of your parents
U took the words out of my mouth
The dad couldn' t wait to say. I'm your father. I hope they can get to know each other and build a BOND. ❤❤❤❤
What a blessing to meet your dad for the first time, this is really a blessing, no resentment, no bitterness, no hatred, really a blessing
God bless you all 😊😊🙏🙏👏👏
These are some beautiful people. He couldn't wait to tell him he's his Father😢. God bless all!!
Wow!!! That must be his adoptive Mom.God bless them.
He did not expect that , man I so love this , he looks so shocked and happy and accepted man this makes my heart happy
The way that he just EXHALED!!! Even Whitney Houston is in heaven smiling❤❤
Yes❤❤
Huh? 😂
@@eLion27Right! I'm lost too. Are these Whitney's people?
Whitney is not in HEAVEN!
Study what HOLY SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS FOR YOURSELF! Her body is in the grave!… her SPIRIT,HER BREATH ONLY RETURNED TO GOD WHO GAVE IT TO HER ,everyone at birth! God bless you!
@user-qu9fe9jk3g the soul is returned to the grave to await resurrection and then judgment. But the soul experiences something in those graves. Mercy or punishment.
I’m glad Gunna found his dad, shoutout to him.
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
IM fuckin cryinnnnnnn😂😂😂
So many dads who are not present in their children's lives, don't understand how much those kids need them. Young man's brows are on point.
The embrace from his dad was like I got you from this point ! Anyone else felt that love and relief like he found his baby 😢
😢😢😢😢
The son is soo accepting and not angry ..love is beautiful
God bless them all! The son needed Dad’s acceptance and love.❤
😢😢😢😢
LMAO!! 😂@@tommy2t1mes84
@@tommy2t1mes84 that literally makes no sense. If you are going to use an analogy it has to make sense.
@@tommy2t1mes84Hopefully, his father's presence will give him the courage necessary to be who and what God made him to be.
And so much more .....
Now I can’t lie that’s a real father bro embraced him with love and respect and so did the son
No a real dad would never been out of his kids life for 20 some years or however old the son is now a real man would work himself to the bone to make sure they got a roof over there heads plus food and clothes hes a little to late the son is a grown man now
About to say the same thing, he's been gone his whole life wtf
What a decent man! He included the mother in his hugs, his thank-you's. I wish we could see all parents acting this way towards each other.
Just openly received his dad it's beautiful 🎉
They are wearing similar colors, the connective energy is high, him embracing his son with a hug and kiss, thanking mom and God is says a lot, awesome family, may God's blessings be with them all❤😊
Omg..his smile, his eyes, his eye brows, his teeth!! 😂😅 Thaddeus is so polished and articulate! May this family unit be blessed. 😊
Very polished!!! ❤❤❤❤
Best comment I've read and you are absolutely right 💯
@Kandis87 😊 thanks sis.
Whoever raised him did an excellent job - he seems like a very nice young man.
Beautiful!!!! I’m in tears, but I’m so happy for them!!!! Thank God!!!!
OMG, this made me cry. They embraced each other in such a precious and loving way. Goes to show you it's never too late to make that first step. They look alike as well, ❤🙏🏾🫂😍💯
I could feel the relief of actually having a father WE need more of this wow ❤
You found the missing piece of the puzzle. And young man you handled the meeting of your Father with wide eyes open and LOVE. Praise GOD
The kiss took him AND ME OUT! What a beautiful moment to share.🖤🇱🇷
Mom's did a good job raising him he's very respectful regardless of his situation with his dad that's a once in a lifetime meeting...
That's funny.
The hug he didn't know he needed until he got it. This is beautiful to watch. He shows no animosity, just pure joy, he finally exhaled! Praying this remains a joyous occasion always!
Son? This only proves why fathers are needed in the family structure 😢
Wht do u mean by tht??? Before I comment, I'm wanting to know your meaning 1st...
@@sylkeez8387you know exactly what he meant.
@@sylkeez8387He zesty asf
He looks just like his father.
So true!!!
And just like that, that young man exhaled 😢
😌🙌🏾🙏🏾
He fought hard to hold back the tears Beautiful ❤️
He sure did, but I didn't
This Made Me Cry Beautiful Moment I Love How He Hugged Both Of Em 😢😢😢😢😢
He just released 30 years of bondage. Thank you for this clip..,and for the explanation. I pray blessings in this family.
This was so touching for them both. This was very well needed. This dad was serious, and you could feel he was waiting for this moment
This have me crying at my desk at work. Did you see the joy on the son's face?
I hope and I pray that the trauma and inflictions that this young MAN endured be eternally erased and he is able to now live his life in his full truthful identity.
You said exactly what I was thinking, but in a much more eloquent and politically correct way.
@@kiawade9982Amen
How you know he had trauma lol stfu
Jesus Christ bless their souls,Amen
It’s not easy or simple for another human being to unlearn a behavior
The brightness in his eyes, says a lot about how he was brought up.
He is blessed to find a mother who love and supported him, all throughout what a nice young man, admirable connection with father.
God bless you and your family always.
Never felt this way about my dad… God is my dad.
He is my Father too, and He is coming soon. John 14:6 🤗🤍
Beautiful 😍
I am 49 and I wish to have been blessed to know my dad. God Heals all wombs.
Yr not alone darling ❤ same to here 49 too
Sadly, That’s not true…otherwise you wouldn’t wish for it right?
Wow
You never know when you are blessed until you see what other people are going through 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Girl edit your comment because god heals all wounds, not Wombs! Us women carry our babies in our Wombs! 😂
U will one day ok. The universe has listened..
Their souls are satisfied. Thank You Jesus!
Wow he needed that fathers love..so amazing ❤😢
Thad and his [adoptive] mother, were some of the coolest contestants I'd ever seen on the show. So genuine AND grateful.
His dad called him baby. He’s so ready to be this man’s father. Makes me weepy for this family ❤️
My God what a powerful moment ❤. That hug did so much I promise you that!
Lol the mom playing along with the “nice to meet you” when she knows is amazing of her. She allowed him to tell their son.
I thought this too! And I went and watched a longer one of this team and she is actually the adoptive mom who went on this journey with him to support him finding his biological family and he got to meet both his biological mom and dad with her right next to him and being there for him! Very sweet episode and amazing mom and son!
I thought she was the adoptive mother ! Blessings to you all ! From California ! 🦚
Sharon is the adoptive mom but she was such a beautiful light AND she got to meet some of her family unexpectedly too! THIS SHOW IS SOOOOOO AWESOME!
@@gnire412this makes me tear up 🥹 so beautiful ❤
Adoptive mother ,or not the op comment still the same she knew he was going to meet his bio dad ,and played along. It really is great to see people reunited. Some people never wanna meet their bio family ,and some of the family never wanna meet bio kids. I remember seeing a show when I was a kid where the mother was ranting about a private adoption and he was never supposed to know who she was, that was after denying ever having a child she gave up. She was married with new children ,and never told her new family she had given up a child up for adoption she broke that ' grown child" heart again ,she seemed so cold,and all i could do was wish I could hug him ,and beat her up lol.
The son is a very attractive and polite man you (mom) did a great job raising him. The son is very loving and respectful of him mother. 😊
Imagine showing the brothers from the 50s and 60s this video 😂
Wow, here I am playing this at least 20 times now. The way they embraced and accepted each other right away.
Yes, "thank you" to the Mom is correct. She's done all the WORK thus far. 🎉
You got all that out of this? Smh some of yall will really ruin GODS blessings…
@kaekellz7841 Right, just enjoy the moment that they are sharing with us!
Thats gotta be Heart-wrenching to meet your son for the 1st time and find out he's gray 🌈
And you’re miserable
That would kill me to know I failed. But it's not to late on the other hand to build him back up to be the man he supposed to be 😀
A whole fruit loop
They both was interested in eachothers well being.. Nothing but Love. THEY ALL WANTED & NEEDED THIS. THANK YOU GOD
This young man I sent him all my blessings, he’s proud ,strong on who he is , he was delightful in joy of meeting his father without any resentment or anger. That’s what a real strong man do bless you young man bless you .
Raising my son was the best time of my life. He’s grown now and doing great things. Come on man don’t walk out on your kids please.
BEAUTIFUL!!! He looks just like his father!!!
I love how the father and son were cool, calm, smiles and hugs for all ❤!!!
I kept playing video over and over, over!!!
I would love to see the whole video. ❤
I watched it on repeat as well…. Saw something special each time I viewed it too ❤❤❤❤
It is beautiful how the dad included mom in this moment best wishes to all
Man, I know he might have been, shocked by the meeting. But, the tone in his voice has a resonating, healing frequency.
Your dads heart leaped in his chest ❤..Scared but loving at the same time
Absolutely!!💯🎯🎯❤️
Right away you can see that Mom didn't have any hatred and her son and the love for the father was a parent through the mother's training. Great job Mom.😊 It's good to see a family come together with this great love.❤
The mom was meeting Tommy for the first time? She must not be his birth mom.
@@saundraking7168obviously adopted.
@@saundraking7168Obviously, he's adopted.
Could've been mom's fault
"MOM" IS HIS ADOPTIVE MOM.
This is his adoptive mom.
Now it makes sense 😮
Oh
Oh ok i was wondering why she said nice to meet you
Ooooh thank you😂I was so confused by the “nice to meet you “
Thanks for the clarity!
Tears are rolling!!! Such a beautiful thing to meet your biological parents at any age! ❤❤
OMG, he looks exactly like his Dad, what a beautiful young man, love his name & his mom looks like an angel. God bless.🙏❤️
This was beautiful no hesitation, thanked the momma and instantly hugged him and oulled her in they all showed love and love to see his son be so receptive ❤❤
Everyone needs their Dad
U got a GREAT father he REALLY NEVER stopped loving you 😢 have fun now
Idk know if i would say great. He didn’t raise him.
Son let out a breath as if he's been holding it for years. He was finally able to exhale.
Wat a BEAUTIFUL!! smile!! And really handsome young man!! That dad got LUCKY!! Mom did a GREAT!! job!!
The hug the kiss his dad gave him the look of release on the son face like he dropped a load off his shoulder ❤
You could feel the emotion radiating off the screen. I pray they find everything they’ve been missing from not having each other. Miracles happen everyday, and I hope some happen for you TOday. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Beautiful family. Yes! Bring your daddy home. Rock solid love.
You see how he just melted in his dad arms!!! So great!!! Glad you got to meet him!!!
This is beautiful! Dad wants to clear the air with life's truth of the past.
This young man has a pure heart❤.
I hope this person brings only blessings to his life and protect this pure soul.
Awwwww this was sweet Thank God for Dad and Son coming together God bless this Family 🙏 ❤
I am crying looking at this. This is a blessing and he looks just like him.
This "who" just gripped my heart ❤
I know it was so much for him especially knowing his dad accepted him without even having to say he’s gay and I love that for him ❤️
His sigh of relief gave me chills. Love this. 🥲🥲
