Speaking truth again! you deserve the truth. you my never get it from her. but you know that. it seems she has severe Narcissistic personality disorder. it's a thing, protect yourself, i really do not trust her. and i feel your are right in that she would prolly not treat you right, she has major issues. Thank God you have so much loving family. and so much self-love.

You are so right on! every word you spoke resonates truth. it seems your bio-mom has a severe case of Narcissistic personality disorder. i see all the signs.( if you haven't already researched that subject) i lived with one for many years and they are SO fake and have many people fooled by their acting. God is good and you have so many that love you! you are a shining light , such a great reflection of our Creator! Your family are so blessed to have your ever-loving presence.

Family ram thing going on here?

You have a beautiful soul and I think you will bring your birth family peace and healing💙

You look gorgeous

I really wanted to know the reason for the abandonment. I’m glad you found out who your biological family was, and that you all got to meet. I’m glad you grew up in a loving family either way your adoptive parents.

I wasn't adopted and I totally, 100% get wanting to know where you "came from". Thank you for sharing your story. May God bless you.

Girl, one of the best things about God, he stores his light! So that all the world can see... We see God through you! Beautiful family.

There are many of us from biological families that never belonged, no matter how hard we tried. I get the curiosity part of it but honestly those who do the day in day out work of raising you are your family. Families are messy.

Way to go babe! You have been killing it...I'm so proud of your consistency.

Torasia, i hope your mom is thankful for the grace you have given her. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Your adoptive parents were blessed to be able to raise u.

I just ordered my dna kit, I saw at $39 special. I already have been working on the family tree

Sorry I wouldn’t have given them the satisfaction of knowing me!! You made it!! That’s all you need to know!

This was recommended to me and I appreciate your outlook and strong faith

There are a lot of gaps in the story. I hope you will eventually be able to talk about who your mom is and her explanation for her leaving you in the van. It seems you have a lot of Nigerian DNA. Are your parents immigrants? Wish you the best!

Hey Sis, I met my birth mother 31 years ago. You are a courageous and inspirational young woman. I have maintained a relationship with her over the years. I am so grateful that I met my family. I can relate to so much of your story. My birth mother is 91 and was recently hospitalized following a stroke. I may be saying goodbye to her soon. I am so grateful that I set out on that journey to find her 31 years ago. Yes, you are going to be alright . In fact, you are already okay. The creator brought us here; we were perfect and already had everything we needed to be whole within us. Finding my birth mother was a part of my story of knowing that all is in divine order and it's my divine birthright to be happy and to recognize I am whole. I appreciate you sharing these videos. I am 65 now but I was your age when I sought and found my birth mom and family. My birth family are so special to me and they are the special gift that came from this reunion. May the universe continue to bless you....this is and will always be the journey of my lifetime. Peace!

thank you. love you.

Elease went through so much humiliation on her season of BGC and Allstar battle. Her roommates were practically foaming at the mouth to put their hands on her. None of it was worth staying on those shows.

Awwww this was so sweet!! I always tell you how strong you are...I dont know if I would've been able to record this without crying the whole time. I'm so glad you got to spend time with your mommy ❤ seeing everyone interacting had me teary-eyed. I'm so happy for you sis ❤ Happy for you and your family🙏🏾 God is so good 🙏🏾

I love the way you speak, so clearly and intelligently. I sometimes find it difficult to understand some American accents. You're blessed and stay blessed. UK.

Hey girl this brought so many tears to my eyes. Take it one day at a time a time and yes it is a process. You have a beautiful family. I pray you and your mom can get the healing that you both need. I have always thought that you are a great friend. I wish we could have hung out more and maybe we still can. I love you girl.

Thanks for sharing your story of abandonment. I'm glad you're finding it in your heart to forgive your biological mother. She gave birth to a beautiful star that's shining bright like a diamond. Remember, forgiveness is for YOU! God bless you, sis! 🙏🏾 ❤️ #painintopurpose

Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths"

Happy for you, but if you plan to do videos, you need to learn not to smack your mouth like that, it’s very distracting

This gives me hope that one day my daughter will want to reconnect with me. Thankyou for sharing your story.

You are so pretty! Hope you get lots of love and good people in your life. Your positivity is inspiring.

Why does this woman remind me of Fantasia? Very beautiful. Best wishes!

she does hold hard feelings for her tru-mom....its written all over her.....

Thank you for sharing your story. My brother is adopted and I found his family through social media last year and it was emotional for me as well as him. It was wonderful for me to see him know through truth of the situation of why and how he came to us. It was very emotional for our family as well as his biological family. I am happy we did it and I am so happy for you as well.

Why did you even bother to find her if you were going to hold onto bitterness towards her? And maybe she would have gotten to that space before you found her. You haven't forgiven her or worked through your trauma nor has she. She was young and you have no idea what age went through. A lot of times we expect people to act like us, think like, or do what we would do, but it won't work like that. I could see if she was nasty and hateful after you found her, but it seems like she is trying and you are holding onto the hurt.

Seems like there are secrets. Including your adoptive mother. She is related and from the same town but found you abandoned? What are the chances of that? To watch you grow up and not see any resemblance.

I can feel your pain without experiencing what you went through emotionally. You need to heal. To do that Toraisa, think about the positive more in your life story than the negative and completely forgive your biological mum. Talk more about how she played a part in your existence than where she completely failed. For example, imagine your biological mum discretely terminates your life without anyone suspecting it. But she didn't take it away from you. It seems to me that you appreciate and are enjoying your life now than your bitter life experience. Preserving your life played a huge part and you can now talk about it. I listened to this video again and again, I recognized that you talk more about abandonment and the more you talk about negativity the more anger and despair you will feel. Now that you know everything about yourself, talk more positively about your biological mum to heal. There are so many positive things in you that you can only get it through the same DNA you shared with her. Talk about it. Hopefully, this will make a massive difference and help you to have a relationship with your biological family and in turn, put closure to your pain.

You were an adorable baby and beautiful woman. I think everyone I know has a drop of Irish! Glad you found up some information and are dealing with it. Best wishes for you.

Girlll I have the same ancestry areas. With the addition of Indigenous.

I’m Congolese, hello sis ❤

You look like one lady British gold medal Olympian Christine Ohuruogu

What about your connection through your uncle's DNA?

My DNA results has allowed me to find a lot of people on my father side of the family but those who have info aren't really eager to connect me with older relatives who would know more thus far only one family member was helpful helpful 😢

I'm still working for last 6 years , and I'm actually putting my pedigree chart together

This can really be an happy ending but you are stubborn

I hate to say this but you making it hard I can tell , you haven’t really forgave her you don’t have to be so mother and daughterly but go get counseling together and at least stop bringing it up in every conversation you have with her or family best wishes ❤❤❤

💔 ❤️‍🩹❤️

A lot of women choose success over kids. What matters is you've grown up well and will live your life

Amen you are 100% right

Thank you for the motivation girl! I love beet juice! Been makingbit for years and ill def consider the soup as well ❤

Had the lady never did what she did there would be no story to tell...She need to sit with what she did 35yrs ago and be able to communicate, sincerely apologize and move forward or not. But you have EVERY right to tell your story, bcuz you are living it. I pray U sooo much Love, Light & Joy ✨️☀️

Hi Family ❤ What is holding you back from getting healthy? If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up. We got this. #weightlossjouney
