Adoption Reunion - Beth Johnson (Full Version)

I have been thinking a lot about my Dad lately. I miss him so much:( This is the only video I have of him. For those that know me, and those that think they know me, and those that don't really know me at all, this will give you a little
insight to part of who I am and the wonderful parents that I have. This all took place back in 2003/2004, so it has been quite a while, and my kids are probably going to want to kill me for posting it now, but it was a very important and happy event in my life and I will never forget it. I want to thank my Birth Mother, Carol Jones, and especially my Parents, Bill & Priscilla Johnson....you have given me a wonderful life and I love you both to the moon and back.

As an update, I have recently located my birth fathers side of the family as well! I am going to meet them this weekend and am thrilled beyond words!

[@MyFreedomChannel]

Congratulations, Beth! I am so happy that all has worked out with you & your birth mom. I hope your reunion with your birth father went well. I'm a birth mom, too - from Texas. Laws are different here. My adoption story is bittersweet, in that my daughter & I had our first reunion last summer after ten years. It went very well, and she also got to meet my oldest sister for the first time. ~Diane

[@TheJourneyToJustice]

I did meet my sister 3 years ago...i cannot see her that much in person cuz she lives in England an i in the usa....but i did fly over 1 year later to meet her in person...she has not came over to see me, she keeps saying one day and i dont like flying.....lol...we talk and video chat...she is one of 8 kids and i am the 2rd oldest...Not all sibling will want to see the other as in my case....my brother will not meet her and my sister does not like her....and my brothers wife does not like her any more...oh Boy.....so it dont always turn out happy ever after...but the truth is out and she is happy to have had that chance and we just go on with our life

[@cmoriarty6854]

That's wonderful. As I'm watching this I'm thinking that you look like you could be a cousin, and then find out your Mom is in Rochester, NY where I live. Whoa, I bet we're distantly related some how.

[@niioli]

Hi miss Mayhew , I was adopted as well when i was 6 months old and iv never located my birth parents, i was a rebel and depressed girl growing up even tried to commit suicide many times but the Lord was good enough and he is the reason i am still here... my life was horrible until i gave up my life to Jesus..u kept saying u wanted to find out who u are... i just want u to know that u cannot find who u are in people.. people fail.. u will only be able to find out who u really are and be truly and COMPLETELY HAPPY AND WHOLE in JESUS CHRIST.. i looked out in people to fill the void the emptiness that i had but i couldnt find it..cause people do fail us.. but Jesus doesnt.. when i found him i tell u now lady i am 100% HAPPY 100% WHOLE 100% KNOW WHO I AM..dont look in people what u can find only in Jesus Christ darling.. May the Lord bless and change ur life... Much love ... Giselle...Lopes... xx Romans 15:13 “I pray that God, the source of hope, will FILL you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.”

GOD BLESS YOU MY MOM GAVE UP A SON BACK WHEN SHE WAS 18 I WISH SHE WOULD LOOK FOR HIM OR VISVERSA BUT I CANT DO ANYTHING BUT I AMBHAPPY FOR YOU

[@taeowynne]

You can look or try to and there would be records. Now that more states are opening them I have to keep looking myself. Time may be running out since I'm already close to 60 myself but i only found out a few years ago. God bless you all and God help you all find and NOT be rejected but I have seen so many where the parents MIGHT or one might reject but siblings usually won't especially once a parent is deceased since it's often loyalty that stops this. I have the same issues with one adoptive parent who says it's okay to look but I still feel disloyal and yet since I may already be too late since she just told me a few years ago, I am always pulled. After watching almost three straight days of positive stories I am going forward and may use the ancestry kits since records are so ridiculous in Chicago where I am allegedly from and NY and other states that have really mixed up records. For me I feel time is of the essence and it's all very confusing and emotional and you have to just not give up I guess is what I have seen the last few days. Though they always change your name so all I have is a birth sirname.

[@jmk1962]

If you do a DNA test you might find close relatives and find him that way.

[@dannquan7696]

Awesomeness 😎

[@MsJinkerson]

you are very lucky Beth my mom didn't want me

[@sherrycalagon9545]

I love this story it’s reminds me of my life

[@captainkirk8873]

[@bethmayhew1766]

CAPTAIN KIRK , congratulations!! I am so happy for you:) I hope things go well and you can develop a great relationship like I have with a couple of my birth siblings!!

[@davidridding4698]

Good luck with this.

[@gml9312]

What a beautiful reunion story! I cried watching mother and daughter in tears. I wish you will continue to have a good relationship with your birth mom and siblings. God bless!

[@marveadler980]

Happy for the both of you, Many years of happiness and fun head to you!

[@KatieJoMikell]

@ 17:32 when you say Beth and Carol are meeting for the very first time face-to-face why would you say that when she carried her for nine months and gave birth to her that would be the day maybe she didn’t hold her but c’mon. Word it differently

[@tonypepperoni9954]

I was just recently contacted by my birth family for the first time in my life and am so nervous to contact them back or meet with them since they want to get to know me and to see this made me cry tears of pure joy. This reunion was beautiful and the thought of me having something as special as this is overwhelming

[@bethmayhew1766]

Tonypepperoni99, I hope you followed through and contacted them back! update me, please:)

[@Frenchie1116]

Hello Beth, are you still in contact with your birth family?

[@asdfgh121594]

Sad to hear Beth passed away unexpectedly in October

[@velmasteele1098]

So beautiful wonderful smazing😅😂❤

[@mattcall7467]

How beautiful Beth!! What an amazing family.. how are you all doing? Had a reunion with a brother a few years ago so really hit home this did.. Much love from the UK 🇬🇧 xx

[@TallicatGames]

It's not just the adoptee, but their children who wonder the same thing. My dad was adopted in 1950, as a very small infant. I look just like him, nothing like my mother or her family. I always wondered where I get my hair from, my face, my mannerisms, my personality and my sense of humour. You didn't just look for yourself, you looked for your children. We need to know too. I'm glad I know now. I know what I'll look like when I'm elderly. I'm going to be beautiful, just like my birth grandma.

[@neilbradley]

Congrats! I am adopted as well, and just last week I found my birth mother. We've been catching up/sharing, etc... and will be meeting up in a couple of weeks.

[@bethmayhew1766]

neilbradley , hoping things went well with your meeting!

[@neilbradley]

Thanks Beth! Yes, we've met twice in person and it (fortunately) has been a very happy reunion. No one on her side of the family knows I exist (long story), including her current husband of 32 years, but I'll be breaking that news to him in a few weeks directly. Unfortunately, my father was killed while my mother and he were dating (car accident), then she found out she was pregnant with me and couldn't afford to keep me, so getting info on my father's side will be a lot more difficult.

[@maryoneill9630]

a wonderful reunion , beautiful

[@curiouscath7629]

Awesome 💯 I hope everyone and everything worked out for you and your families ✌️🍷🖤

[@lockednloaded6346]

I wonder if my Birth Mom watches these and cry like I do :(

[@Revelation21-4-]

im sure she does,i know I do

[@nitamay3534]

I know what it feels like when you look around at people and wonder if we're family because I never knew my father I finally met my biological father when I was 40 and it wasn't good, I'm so happy for this family.

[@nancyhoward1917]

This family all has the same voice

[@lizaluvsarahg]

I'm crying a river very touching

[@reginaowens2971]

Beth Mayhew is there a video of your reunion with your birth father?

[@bethmayhew1766]

He had passed before I found his side of the family.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

Actually it is very unusual for a daughter to be closer to her mother. I don't know one friend that is. We are all daddy girls.

[@stepht5]

AmericanPatriot so odd. Everyone I know calls their mother to tell them all the little things...when their kids do something funny during the day, or when the kids are acting horrible, 😂😂. Don’t get me wrong, we all love our dads, but mom is always the first person we think to call when something good or bad happens to us. 😊

[@lisasrandomvideos1368]

you have to remember you dont know each other, its overwhelming, there is no instant fuzzy feeling for everyone like most think

[@GazelleDZ]

Lisa, you need to become educated about adoptees and the trauma of separation which last a lifetime, and how bonds are formed and memories are made between child In utero and the mother-and the family and environment beyond the womb until birth ….. We know our mothers' breath sounds, her heartbeat, her likes, her dislikes, her emotions, her voice everything about her. We know about our father and our sibs and even the family dog before we are born… not to forget that we are genetically tied not only to her and our father, but to ancestors and siblings, close ans immediate family... without her and him we would nat be alive ….the daughter you relinquished knows you far better than you know... too bad you don't know her ...but actually you do know her... the only fear we have is fear itself.... don't let your terror (self-induced) keep you from reuniting with her … Many of us will never have that chance to know our mothers, fathers, siblings, etc. Be thankful that you can meet and reconcile whatever may need to be mended.

[@not_today_satan_7]

They all look alike

[@hughphillips1427]

Not the old story ‘you was chosen’ that was the line my adoptive family told me. It is just something adoptee’s were told to tell the child. It is no longer used, well in the UK anyway.

[@Emy53]

The siblings all look so much alike. Beautiful reunion.

[@asdfgh121594]

Beth Are you still in contact with your birth mom and siblings? Did you feel an immediate connection when you met them? My birth father gave his rights up to me I was adopted my by step dad. I met my birth dad and half brother when I was 23. It was an instant connection. That was 14 years ago sad to report my birth dad died Dec 21 2014 and his son died May 26 2015. I will never forget the bond I felt.

[@maddievega7607]

What a blessing! I am an adoptee but my birth mother rejected me. I did a DNA with my siblings and we have same mother. That is more than enough for me. God bless you all.

[@hellow9494]

Maddie Vega you’re an amazing person, happy you met your siblings.

[@aghmatadams3368]

Hi Maddie. I sure hope by now you reunited with your biological mom. Good Luck.

[@BonnieMacheras]

{{{Beth}}} Thank you so much for sharing this incredibly touching video. I am not adopted but can most certainly relate on another level. My beautiful niece (my sister's daughter) has no idea who her bio dad is. I have tried and tried to help her through ancestry, 23&me and heritage utilizing the dna approach (she has no information whatsoever about who her dad is) to no avail. My niece is 43 yrs old and is my sister's only child; it's heartbreaking beyond words to watch her go through this journey and being at the point of giving up hope. I will share your video with her in hopes of renewing her strength to carry on with her search. Thanks again! It's all LOVE!! We are ONE!!

[@bethmayhew1766]

SavvyPsychicMedium, have you had any luck yet? I would like to offer any help I can, so if you are interested in some tips or tricks with the system, let me know and we can figure out a way to email each other.

[@BonnieMacheras]

{{{Beth}}} Thank you so much!! No luck thus far. I appreciate the offer for help and happily accept. The easiest way to email me is this name savvypsychicmedium at hotmail dot com :D Thank you, again, so so so much!!!

[@feef6098]

Savypsyicmedium wow I to am 43 have been rejected over and over again by my birth mums side which broke my heart (however I try to remember the precious moments, the good memories). I would be really interested in chatting more with you regarding this I must find my father as I sense your niece feels much the same it really can be so heart breaking! (Big time) it might be a long shot but please would you consider getting in contact with me? Understand if you don't. [e-mail] I am from Australia love and light to all (I have a feeling your niece is a June July August baby (June came to me first) no idea why anyway regardless she is lucky to have your support, love and understanding and I hope with all of me we will all find answers in this life. Fiona aka feef

[@suemount6042]

SavvyPsychicMedium don’t give up keep checking on the sites with ancestry you can cross reference your matches there has to be something in common on one of the matches on ancestry keep at it good luck

[@Bow-j6c]

A very special family, CONTENTMENT ❤

[@Revelation21-4-]

I dont know why but I laughed my head of when the mum said she was very nervous in meting her daughter ,I cant wait to met my daughters only 2 years to go I love you sarah and Hannah xx

[@KiKiQuiQuiKiKi]

...graduated FROM college

[@lisasrandomvideos1368]

you have alot of courage , my birth son recently contacted his sister my daughter thru facebook, they are texting daily, we are still too overwhelmed to see him in person,, i am terrified myself,

[@tyleratkinson5468]

I want to find my son who was adopted but I'm struggling everyday I hurt I'm broken don't think I will ever find him adopted parents never did give my son the letters and photos I sent

[@stepht5]

tyler atkinson how do you know they didn’t give them to him? I have a friend that has know her birth mothers name, where she grew up, etc... her entire life. She’s 37 now and still has no desire to meet her or know her. 🤷‍♀️

[@peterfindsyourfamily]

love this story. hope i can help someone find their biological family

[@feef6098]

Hold onto that beautiful love I hope with all of me you will all remain a big happy family now for the rest of your lives..... I doubt anyone would have dry eyes after watching this reunion IT IS SO SO WONDERFUL FOR ALL OF YOU! I do know for sure that anyone who is a mother or child searching would all hope for a reunion like this. I am so happy for all of you (adopted fee)

[@feef6098]

Beth please let us know how it goes with your father :) I wish you a similar receptive, loving response it really doesn't get better than this love, light and health always and lastly I am so sorry for your loss with your divorce however what a wonderful distraction you have hugz feef

[@Mark601535]

It was a nice reunion between mom and daughter but story was sad

[@bethmayhew1766]

Mark601535, why do you feel it was sad?

[@meaganmuladore6431]

Beth Mayhew Such a beautiful story! I'm adopted and I recently made contact with my biological grandmother! Meeting her has meant so much to me! She's so amazing! I hope you have continued to have a wonderful relationship with your birth mom! Thank you so much for sharing your journey!

[@Bstn02152]

Aww I love this ❤️

LOVED this :)

[@timmy1712]

Very cool

[@bethmayhew1766]

Tim Last, thank you:)

[@danielberry3932]

Fantastic! I am so happy for you, your [first] Mom, and siblings. Thanks so much for sharing your story. In ten more days, I get to meet my four birth sister's for the first time. My 1st mother passed away before I could meet her, and my BioDad remains an unknown at this time, but with DNA testing, and the help of my 'search angels', the field has been recently narrowed to just a few men.

[@sumeyaosman4528]

I love it

[@donnamclendon6791]

Beautiful, happy for you. What an awesome reunion. 😀

[@WorkshopPops]

I thought she was walking away after the hug.
