A man that would put that much love & care into a keepsake, with “Dad” on the bottom,& all his info inside, so it can’t be misplaced, is a man worth More than a ton of Gold!!! Damn shame the 2 were robbed of the Years of his love & wisdom, as well as a bigger shame they always thought he was a heartless POS.Sooo happy for All 3 knowing the truth,& knowing each other’s Love!

When they walked in to meet their father and they were comforting him I couldn’t imagine how he felt finding out he had two daughters he never even knew about. Then seeing the gift he made them was so sweet, and adding all his contact information inside just shows how much he wants a relationship with them. Im so happy for them!

[@vandemanferretstasmania.ni9576]

I spent 20 years tracking my mothers biological family. It was hard, the “egg donor” lied about her name, and told the adoption agency that the father didn’t want children. I managed to find her sisters who have been wonderful, thankfully the old hag has passed away as her daughter, my aunt, is a nasty piece of work that we decided not to engage with. It took another 2 years to find out the biological father, I rang every name in the phone book of the town that had his last name looking for a way to reach him. I finally found his sister who told us that he had passed away. She asked why I was looking for him, I told her as gently as I could that he was my grandfather. She was devastated, because all he wanted in life was a wife and children. He died not knowing he had a daughter. My great aunt jumped on the first flight she could get to meet us. We stay in touch to this day, even though she’s in her 90’s and struggling health wise.

Thank God they were not separated in the adoption as so many were in New York State during that time frame!!! They were lucky!

[@crystalrusmisel1832]

Gifts from the heart mean so much more especially when made with loving hands. My grandfather was put up for adoption as an infant. He passed away not knowing who his real family was. He was born in Germany and raised here in the US. I’m currently searching for my family in Germany because I want to know where he came from where I come from. He passed away before I had a chance to meet him. I’ve always had a longing to find out about him.

[@Jibbie49]

These women were born in 1967 when I was a Senior in high school and I can tell you being pregnant back then and not married meant you were a tramp (or worse names) so these girls were given up to a couple who desperately wanted to adopt and they said they had a great childhood. Back then a couple who had a "shotgun wedding" often times didn't stay together. There was no DNA test to prove the guy was the father, so he often had doubt. (Just watch MAURY to see the times women swear he is the father and DNA shows he isn't.) So, these girls often ended up divorced, dealing with a kid and no child support or family support. This mother did the best for herself and those girls at the time.

[@daniellewoodley3]

When you give a child up, it is extremely, extremely traumatic. I'm sure she honestly couldn't face the choice she made, or have the strength recall something traumatic.

[@joannalaszczak2012]

Some mothers just don't love their children. It happens often then people realize. That's it.

[@cas3837]

I can think of reasons. No mom is going to be happy about giving them up. These women are usually devasted and it haunts them. Maybe she did not want to relive it. Or the guilt she felt was killing her. Some feel like they did something horribly wrong.

I find it very sad that he didn't know about them and that the biological mother never told him because a relationship could have been formed there but like they said moving forward now they will have a relationship. At the end when she said I was afraid he would be ashamed of what we look like that made me cry he is not ashamed at all they should never think that like her sister said what's not to like? LOL, so true. I love happy endings like this.

[@anAngelisHard2find]

It was a most kind and considerate gesture of the maternal contacts to provide information on the father because through this ONE ACTION so many pieces were able to be reconstructed in the lives of these women. I am very certain that the father will build the story of their life for them, inform them of who their mother was and how they came to meet, and how their life started. The rest will remain with time, and the women can move forwards in their life, working with the information and the father that they have found. The mother may not be in good health to manage all these details at the present time in her own life. This is to be understood. The mother is incredibly present in the story by the fact that she re-united the women with their paternal family and their bio father. amazing, beautiful and a priceless story of immense beauty and joy all around. Wishing them happiness !

[@jeanniefeaster4325]

The mother seemed heartless. I hate to be judgemental about someone I don't even know, but not wanting to meet the twins is definitely rejection, no matter the reason behind that. Plus she robbed the dad out of fatherhood, then turned around & lied about him.

[@angel061607]

The world of adopted children always leaves the child feeling at fault once they are grown adults. Causing them to feel that they did something wrong. When in fact it's the parents who were in the wrong. Therefore, I kindly ask all those folks who KNOW that they are incapable to care for a child PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! use birth control there are several types in this world to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Or simply keep your legs closed and men use a condom. These children who are put up for adoption don't deserve to live their lives thinking they did something wrong or they weren't good enough keep as their own child. One of the twins stated she was fearful he would like the way they looked?! That's just wrong!!! Years after years seeking true unconditional love of a biological parent only to feel they were the problem.

[@daniellewoodley3]

I think overall yes I agree with this but in some cases accidents happen- a condom could break, birth control isn't 100% effective, a woman could be raped and not want to keep the baby. I personally am adopted and do NOT wish that instead of being adopted I wasn't born... 😬

What confuses me is how their sister knew the contact information for a man that was left in the dark about their existence... Unless he is her father as well? Maybe the mother left him when she found out she was pregnant, had the babies, then got back together with him later? I don't know. Just a bit confusing. My kids don't have contact information for my exes. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@maxh2883]

I think so too

[@MeyaRoseGirl]

The sister may have found out about her mom's previous pregnancy and did some digging, or maybe her mom told her everything. I mean, the phone call may have been reenacted here, but it seems like she just knew everything, including that her mom didn't want contact, right away, without checking. I wish they had said what the sister might want. Maybe she wanted to meet them, even if the mom didn't? Painful as it is, I can respect the birth mom choosing to keep the door closed on that part of her life. Maybe it was just such a tumultuous time that she doesn't want to dredge it up. I can't, though, respect that she gave them up without informing the birth father. He should have had a choice in the matter, too. At least he does now, but there are so many cases out there where fathers don't. (And of course there are plenty of cases of fathers who do know and just shirk the responsibility. That sucks too.)

[@dondgamer]

The Dad must be in his 80's, hadn't known about the girls for 40-50 years of his life - Obviously unsure if he had any other kids - His wife passed away. At that age, a lot of people have given up on life and most of their friends had passed away - I can't stress how special this moment would be for him.

Awww, what a sweet family. Mom's not wanting to meet their children is common. My cousin found me on ancestry after her mother, another cousin, had her at 16 and gave her up. She does not want to meet with her. She never told her husband or her 4 kids about her. The adoptee's father has passed away and his family are a bunch of alcoholics and drug addicts so she won't have relationships with them. So it's really difficult on both sides. Don't forget back in the day, you couldn't find people like you can now. DNA brings all the skeletons out of the closet.

If youre gonna choose adoption, I think you owe it to your kid to allow contact if they want it. Adoption is traumatic enough for children.

[@daniellewoodley3]

That's a bit close minded tbh. It's traumatic for the parent as well. Some people just can't reopen that trauma or deal with it. It's called denial. It sucks but it is a coping mechanism people use for the duration of their lives.

[@louib716]

@@daniellewoodley3 I get that, but I think the feelings of the person who never asked to exist or be placed for adoption should come first. You should probably just choose abortion if you think your obligation ends at giving life. At LEAST send them a letter with an explanation or let their bio dad know they exist. SOMETHING that will help them not develop a complex and spend decades in therapy.

[@daniellewoodley3]

@@louib716 Yeah your thought process is flawed here. Again I would RATHER BE ALIVE with the small amount of trauma from being adopted RATHER THAN BE ABORTED. No, the parent has no obligation to send something along with a child they will never potentially see again in their life. Its traumatic for parents too.

[@louib716]

@@daniellewoodley3 its not a small amount of trauma. 2 out of 3 teens in therapy are adopted. You lose your whole identity. You battle with feelings of rejection. You might even need something basic like a family medical history. And you're saying its fine to make it way worse for a child to cope with this by not even offering as much as a letter to connect them to their past? Forgive me if I dont like it when people intentionally create a maladjusted member of society. I can recognize that adoption hurts bio moms because my cousin gave a child up for adoption and considers it her biggest regret. I'm not super sympathetic to people who cause their own problems. You made a bad decision that resulted in a child that you gave up for adoption. Grow up and get over yourself if you cant give that kid some kind of closure as an adult. You need to right your wrongs even if it is hard.

[@daniellewoodley3]

@@louib716 I was adopted, and you just sound uneducated rn. And no, the adult doesn't need to give any closure. I'm not sure where you think you have a right to judge the mom, when you haven't even been adopted my man.
