[@carolyndarley1045]

after watching this, I'ved decided Kathleen belongs to all of us. She set out to find family and found the world!! One love.

[@beachloon]

Beautifully said!! Thank you! 😊

[@gwendolynscott8074]

Wow how wonderful 🥰

[@NikkiBikki]

At the end she says, 'I am loved', and I thought, gosh, not just by your family but you have captured the hearts of all the viewers too!!

I was over here feeling stupid for feeling this woman's energy but I'm glad i'm not the only one lol... Beautiful spirit, indeed :-)

[@ccblack3983]

Seeing Kathleen and Teddy having the same hairstyle as each other for decades without knowing the other person existed warms my heart.

[@humanearthling1484]

Kathleen is such a giving person--she reached out and comforted her sister, let her sister talk to their mother first, comforted them both, what a pure, loving heart. Her sister has lived such a similar to hers, and Teddy is a prince of a man. I'm so glad for her.

[@rosaadolfo7226]

Yes! Kathleen is one of us all!!!

[@idahsituuma1378]

You people you are doing such great work. God intended family to be together comforting each other. This is such a lovely thing. Who inspires you to do this and who facilitates you and pays for your living? God bless you. I also long to find my cousin brother born Tanzania and our in Uganda where both our mothers who were step sisters were born and lived. Both are deceased.

[@TheJasminebillups]

So she kept getting the black schlong and had children gave them away and kept the other one's...typical

Who else wish they were friends with Kathleen? She just seems so sweet and kind. Owi. Her brother seems so cool man. Wowa

[@ReginaDillard]

I have NEVER seen mixed raced children who not only look like each other, despite having different fathers, but looks so much like the birth mother. She has STRONG genes. Kathleen has sown so much love in her community. She’s simply receiving it all back. She has Jean deserves happiness. What a Happy ending. Yes, I cried terribly. Love from the U.S. (Chicago). ❤️

[@julie-anngayle4953]

I thought this too; she sowed love and made other people's lives better and was richly rewarded. God bless them all. What a wonderful t.v. programme

and not sure if you noticed her white daughter looked just like Kathleen also even more then jean but yes they all look like mum

[@liasummers1824]

I cant imagine their pain. They are still childlike.

[@tangelineforever]

I have. They have the same parents and came out different shades and features from either parents or from ancestors like the hair color ,nose. They even did ancestry dna tests.

[@michellesmith936]

I have 3 biracial children. The 2 oldest have 1 father and the youngest has another father. Yet all 3 look alike and look like me. My oldest has two kids who look just like him and his sister as kids. The resemblance is crazy remarkable.

[@804pine]

True confession. I've watched this episode multiple times, especially when I need emotional boost, a positive way to end my day before bed. Kathleen Fraser Jackson's spirit/soul makes my heart sing. What a marvelous woman! Her sister and brother are sweet and gentle souls as well. We need more people like these in our world.

[@annwatrous1289]

I do that too

[@yazoo213]

I’ve shown all my friends 😆

[@stephaniewheeler4626]

Umm I've done the same thing, I love Kathleen and wish I was lucky enough to be her friend. I'm over the moon happy for her!!

Mother seem devoid of emotion. Not a single tear rolled down from her eyes.

[@denyss3476]

​@@jyotsnasubba5783She's a very "matter of fact person" she had a "type" for relationships, although she knew the outcome. I'm glad the children got to see her before she had passed on. It is not good when they've found the parents but they have died. The chapter isn't closed naturally. ❤

They better have a Jamaican family reunion. This family got huge fast! I'm surprised how smooth this went. Grandma was wild back in the day. Good they found each other in time. This was sweet.

Yes when Jean was leaning into Kathleen I cried… it felt like Kathaleen was the big sister at that time. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@stephallan2543]

When...Kathleen hugged her beautiful older Sister Jean and said, “this is US now”...Wow 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏽🤔🔍😢. Thank you for posting this, so Beautiful! 🥰

[@SoMeBySymone]

This had me swimming in my own tears, a follow up of this story is definitely needed. Kathleen's brother was so calm and collected.

[@bikeojomo]

I know right

[@mbmbkb3]

I am drowned in tears right now. The hurt that those girls have dealt with for all these years is so much its its overwhelming. But to see them melt into each other and weep the pain out together and know exactly what the other feels makes it so hard to take in. I pray they stay close.

[@tishtish4442]

Same here... I also thought that it was wonderful to see that all of the sisters favor each other... 🥰💜🙏🏾

[@ragamuffinhooligan4019]

I'm Guyanese...it brought tears to my eyes. Funny thing is that I have relatives in England who are also mixed.

[@santbr]

How amazing!! Teddy has that tranquil personality we associate with jamaicans and Kathleen is such a sweetheart. So happy they found each other! Imagine the party in Jamaica welcoming them haha

[@Po18]

When the 2 sisters met, it felt like they knew each other their whole lives. That connection is pure love ❤️

[@melamorales]

Kathleen the daughter, what a beautiful and kind spirit. I felt instantly connected to her. I feel like everyone she meets is blessed. I would be overjoyed to find I was related to this woman!

It must be so rewarding working on this programme.

[@nonophat]

Right?! So special!

[@Jake-nk4wg]

Where do I apply???? :)

[@sungli1]

Just imagine how ofte they deliver sad news though.... most of that is never showen on the program, and there will be lots of searches where they find family and they dont want to know anything of their relatives.... but it wont be showen here. We only get to see the nice parts!

[@mattkaustickomments]

I’m curious to know about all the ones that turn out bad. Researchers being told to pound sand, parents denying the past, people refusing contact with family members. Or family members that turn out to be axe murderers or lunatics. Orphans whose family was wiped out in a tragic event. I wonder what the success percentage is? I’m hoping it is very high.

[@laman8914]

In Kathleen, the Jamaican side is stronger. You could see it in her joyful demeanor, her warm personality, her emotional reaction and social composure always wanting to be and share with others. That's the Caribbean spirit right there. Her brother is a true Jamaican; the talk, the walk, the stare, so beautiful to see. Everybody has their own genuine God given identity. Beautiful story, I enjoyed this one.

[@mangoyacho]

Well said. I agree with you!

[@cizia69]

This episode is a medicine, a love shot from wonderful humans

This episode really got to me. The meeting between the two sisters was so filled with love and joy. The part at 27:37 where Jean lays her head on Kathleen's shoulder was very moving.

[@cloverbrown971]

Why she kept having babies she couldn't keep?

[@geezer5357]

@@cloverbrown971 Adoption is different now, adoptive parents tend to stay in touch with the birth mother and the father if he is in the picture (for medical history if nothing else), and the kids often maintain some kind of relationship with them. There are many families desparate to adopt, so if women prefer to carry their pregnancies to term it is a blessing for prospective adoptive parents. As far as why, in the early 1960s or thereabouts, she carried two pregnancies to term and gave the infants away, that is her business and nobody else's. Just as it would have been if she hadn't.

I wasn't supposed to cry. I held it in as long as I could😭

[@ejfhill]

Watching this has been bittersweet. I have a mixed race father that I don't know, and my mother died before I could even find out his name. Praying that one day I can get closure like this.

[@nicolepritchett1390]

I hope you can find the answers you really deserve about your father

@anewphaze have you done Ancestry DNA?

[@ejfhill]

@@CrystalGreenNYC Yes I have the closest one possible link is an unknown 3rd degree relative. None have responded to my request for connections.

[@VintageRose75]

@@ejfhill Keep trying....they may have just missed your message. I would most definitely take DNA tests from other, different companies, too. You will find them...you just have to keep digging! And, keep checking back...you'll never know when just the right relative may decide to take a test. Don't ever give up!! Please let us know how it goes!!!

Kathleen is adorable. What a lovable person! Very very happy for her.

When my auntie married a beautiful Jamaican man, the entire family was welcoming. My grandmother, from a wealthy WASP family, had married a French Canadian Catholic coal miner secretly (1930). Once she became pregnant with their first child, her family cut her out of their lives. She wasn’t ever going to reject ANYONE her children chose. We have a United Nations around our table, from Chinese, to Ukrainian, Italian (when they were still called WOPS), Indigenous Canadian and Jamaican. My Mom used to always say that if all families looked like ours there would be far less hate in the world And I LOVE the warmth these sisters have for each other. It’s beyond lovely

[@lisethsmall1372]

Much love from Jamaica🇯🇲 to both Katleen and Jean.

[@lala55419]

Jean looks just like the mamma. Kathleen and Alison look alike.

[@jacovbtarver7052]

I thought so too

[@sheenaperez1882]

I agree

[@kme3894]

yes, they do!

[@maery9425]

"You don't remember being mothered?" 😭❤️

[@goteamgocrestwoodreddevils1482]

[@MindYours-bh7zl]

[@expatlifestyle6069]

Congratulations Kathleen!! Would love to see a follow-up with the Jamaican relatives❤️

[@sdypg]

[@dbhenry22]

Korki Des My family is the only Burton I know of in Jamaica. She could be one of my family.

[@VintageRose75]

And, find Jean's father's side!!

[@mzansicelebgossnews7672]

Yessss dude!!!!

[@nicoleb3868]

Wow. One of the best reunions I’ve seen so far. When the sisters met and said “you look like me!” The tears started to roll. 😭 And then when she meets the brother! Seriously amazing!

[@elainezinck6734]

This is an absolutely splendid episode, so heart warming and bitter sweet at the same time... God bless them all...

[@c.c.benfield1630]

Kathleen and Jean feel like my own sisters. It's something in the spirit of our beings.

[@kellyprice1024]

What a lovely Woman that Kathy. Her laugh is infectious. What a wonderful Grandmother she must be. Lol, I have 13 Grandchildren.

[@mz_tehtee]

“This is more than all the gold in the world”. Jane makes me so emotional. Family is everything

[@jww128]

Something we could learn from others. The old lady didn't say how many cards I can receive. She said how many I can send.

[@NikkiBikki]

I noticed that too. Special.

[@vacinemedine4335]

Eccentric her and brother!

[@marcofreitas3844]

Much love for the two sisters...as for the Granny, she was a very irresponsible woman, giving TWO non-twins for adoption. And she doesn´t look concerned about their fates at all, sorry

[@marcofreitas3844]

THE LEAST she could do after getting preganant twice from two unknown guys was to buy a thousand cards

[@hopea566]

Am so happy to hear the old woman say that
