Best part of the show is how excited the hosts get to tell them good news. I think they enjoy it as much as the families do.

[@KrissiCreates]

Thank you for sharing these video's! I cry each time. As I was an adoptee searching for my birth family. I found them 2 1/2 years ago. My Mother had passed, my Father knew nothing about me, but he accepted me with open arms. I also found 6 half siblings. I'm the oldest of them all. My Grandmother was one of 15... so you do the math on how many Aunts,Uncles and cousins I have found. All have accepted me and love me ,as I love them !!

[@judyfowler2247]

I love these shows. My dad made me give my son up for adoption at birth. It was 1969 and I was 16. I hated him for it. I looked for him the rest of my life. Finally the internet came in to play and these agencies that have access to social security can find them. At that time I found him, was 43. Fifteen minutes after I paid them they gave me his name. We're very close now and will be forever. Only a woman who's lost a child through adoption or death can understand the incompleteness that comes with this loss, and that emptiness that is there for the rest of your life. I have that freedom now because I'm finally complete, and forgiven....

One of my workmates found her birth mother after 35 years. The birth mother refused to meet or acknowledge her. She was crushed. The family of the birth mother, however, welcomed her with open arms.

[@debbie6712]

Yes some people are like that. It's a shame. It's hard to find out you're adopted, then your own mother doesn't want you? I'm very happy that her family welcomed her.

[@GenieGin13]

some birth mothers react that way because they are wrapped up in their own guilt and couldn't get away from the shame they felt at not being a good enough mother. but they don't stop bonding with other family members. i'm hoping that this is the case for your friend as the the birth mother allowed the rest of the family to connect with her. but on the other hand, there are birth mothers who are unable to accept the child and by extension, reject everything. we've definitely heard stories of mothers replying back "now that you know my name, don't contact me ever again. don't speak to me or anybody in my family. you are not welcome here."

[@beebeeflash2614]

Crazy how Bronwyn and her son both have a mix of English and North American accents! so cool!

[@HRHDMKYT]

I just *love* this show! When Bronwen was asked "how does that feel [seeing a picture of your son all grown up]?", and she replied, "It feels like love"... that just really got to me. She's right... it shows that he was loved by his adoptive parents, it shows he's happy and healthy, it shows that Bronwyn's incredibly loving sacrifice to give up her baby for adoption, never really knowing the outcome of his life, was all worth it. Wow. (I know they usually only show the happy-families versions of these reunions, but it is just so heartwarming to see the successful adoption stories, and those who when they become adults, do want to establish relationships with their Long Lost Family!)

[@mswilson1992ew]

I love watching these stories not knowing that I was adopted until a year ago. Only to learn that my birth mother was near by. Our churches actually fellowship with each other and I would see her very often. What's funny though is that I always saw her family by coming into the store where I was assistant manager. Eventually when we met it was shocking to see this. God bless everyone who has an amazing experience.

[@dyvazhousboutique]

tears......these are beautiful stories with happy endings. These two sisters i'm quite sure will never be apart again. Thank the show for all they do

[@Ceelle2]

Mark shows me how the Australian accent is like an American Southern accent mixed with a London accent. LOL On a serious note...as an adoptive mom I love the way each honored their adoptive parents too.

As I watch through these episodes I cry and cry tears of joy for the people reunited in each episode. I am adopted and can't find my birth parents and both my adopted parents have passed on.

Thanks

Don't give up. I looked for my older brother since i turned 18 (32 years ) he did ancestry DNA and matched my aunt; so I did it and it came back 99.99% then I hunted him down like a blood hound.

I really enjoy this show. There are many similar TV shows ,but I love the way this production went. I just wonder if they ever came across an adoption that didn't turn out as well. Would LLF still air or consider producing a show like that. Not all adoptions are fairy tale stories and some turn out to be the worst nightmare ever.

Just my opinion but I don't think they would air one that had such a bad ending as usually the people involved agree to the episode.

Also, she reminded me of social workers I've worked with. It is a different way you react when you have done a lifetime of work helping others. She reacts like an aid worker who has seen great suffering. These ppl are sensitive too, but it shows up differently and often they learn to control it to care for others.

[@TenTenJ]
