Reunion: An Amazing Story of Seperation, Adoption, and Redemption | Full Movie | Kimberly Copple
Reunion is an engaging personal story of loss and redemption told by the people who lived it. When Kim was a high school senior, she became pregnant by her boyfriend, Duane. While the couple would one day marry, they were not ready for that commitment at the time, nor were they ready to take up the responsibility of raising a child. So, they made the heartwrenching decision to place their daughter for adoption. Twenty-five years later, Kim and Duane reunited with their daughter, SaraAnn. Experience the emotional roller coaster that finally resulted in the reunion of parents and child, and witness the loving connection between SaraAnn’s biological and adopted families.
Director: Reuben Evans
Starring: Kimberly Copple, SaraAnn Evans, Duane Copple, Evangelina Evans, Reuben Evans

So sweet. I was kicked out of the Mormon church (disfellowshipped), my parents were shunned and eventually divorced, ruining our family just because I had sex. I kept my baby because of the Mormon's weird desire to acquire her. And guess what everybody? God still loves me, us & them - even without a testimony! You are always loved by God FYI. Have a great day!

[@missmollymyers8180]

Oh Wow! I sat here just hanging on every single word as your story unfolded. God is so gracious and so faithful. You all had me in tears! My story is quite different but God has been so gracious and so faithful in this too. At 28 years of age I was abducted, and raped; which was followed by a very unplanned pregnancy. I did trust God to lead me through the pregnancy and the PTSD. God brought into the picture a man (David) to support me, and help me with the PTSD symptoms. I chose to keep the baby girl. David and I were married when my little girl was 4 years old. She is 32 now and was married this past October. The story has much more to it, but I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. We learn so much about God and each other when we share these things. God bless you all.

[@judihardman321]

Kim, I’m truly in tears. I’m 85 years old now and was a boarding mother to 89 babies, from 2 days old . Your story is truly what I prayed for , for all our babies, they were all adopted and some didn’t leave our home for 2 years but God is so good and my prayers go out to your amazing blended family. Tears, joy, all the emotions of a mother were mine even though the babies were not mine. An amazing story of Gods perfect plan. Thank you for sharing,

[@KrissiCreates]

I didn't think I would ever find my birth family. Especially after becoming a Grandmother. But God had other plans, just days after turning 60 I found my biological family ! Sadly my Mother had passed, but found 2 half siblings. My Poppa, my Biological Father, that knew nothing about me after lots of talking and fact checking etc. We finally met 2 months later. His wife, I call Mom C, was so welcoming, knowing I came to be 3 years before they even met. Along with her I have 4 half siblings on his side. I'm so blessed to have had nearly 4 years in their lives. My Poppa will turn 90 in June. We speak nearly every day. God is so so good !!

This adoption story brought tears to my eyes. Two of my best friends have adopted children, & my sister gave birth at 16. Choosing to place your child with an adoptive family is a selfless decision of love. When you do not feel that you can meet every need of your child, adoption is an amazing option. I am so blessed to hear the testimony of this family. I hope that women who find themselves pregnant, and have a decision to make, will see stories like this and choose adoption over abortion. Lean on the Lord. He will guide you as He did Kimberly. 🙏🏻❤

[@obicat]

Adoption is lifelong trauma and loss for both mother and baby. It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. The church needs to stand alongside women who are pregnant who need help and help them to keep their babies, not create the heartache for one mother of losing a child so someone else can have that child. That's not about helping the child, that's about giving the adults what they want. The church is doing a great disservice to encourage adoption.

[@SilverCottage]

I so wish my mother had chosen to give me for adoption instead of marrying pregnant at 17. I could have been raised in a loving family like the one in this film instead of the unrelenting cruelty I experienced. But there is a reason behind all of it, and God imbued me with the strength to deal with all of it and to find HIM and hold onto HIM while I endured it. Anyway, I enjoyed getting to know THIS family of beautiful people and watching their story. A wonderful movie for the whole family to enjoy! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Blessings to all.

I loved seeing your story today, and I, too, was in tears. I really understood your mother, Kim, as my daughter had a baby before being married, (she was a little older - already teaching -in a Christian School). I couldn't stand the thought of my first grandchild being separated from us, but we supported her decision whole-heartedly to raise her son herself (with our help). He is now 17 and we cannot imagine life without him. He is having a tough time right now and we just continue to pray for God to lead him in his life. I am really emotional after watching this and so happy for you.

[@joyceadair3003]

[@karenhubler2792]

I am a mother of two amazing adult now. At the time of becoming a mother was only because of Gods love for two other women who’s lives where up side down. Every night I got on my hands and knees and prayed (at times I felt like a monster) that a girl/ woman would make a heart breaking mistake,so I could hold a baby in, so I would some day hear a small little voice say the would mommy. These prayers were answered. God also walked me and my husband through some amazing walks with him before each child was born. As time went by and our daughter and son grow up, my prayers where for each of my birth mothers. I had so much love and respect for each of our birth mothers. I had hoped to meet them some day and tell them thank you. I always went out of my way if I found out a woman had given a child up for adoption to thank you and ask could I could hug her. Long story short My daughter did chose to meet her birth parents, I was blessed to hug both birth mother and dad. God please bless all who chose life. Thank you for this beautiful life story of what looked like a tragedy that brought many lessons about life and God’s love. From Gods arms through the body and heart of one woman to the arms and heart of a woman hoping for a miracle.

To give your baby up for adoption if you are not in a position to rear it yourself is one of the most selfless things a mother can do.

[@debrarow1933]

Only selfless for themselves , to be truly selfless would have been to keep the baby and give up your life as you know it , now that would be truly selfless

[@user-cy4vw1qj9m]

@@debrarow1933 yes that would be right in a ideally world but for many different reasons people can't keep their babies in case you are thinking this my case I have three adult children born within my marriage but I have understanding of life to have your baby rather than abort it is selfless. I have friends who adopted children and loved them with all their hearts can't see why anyone would want to adopt children otherwise also though most of them did trace their birth they don't seem to have a close relationship with them they may be in contact with them but not close. I understand it has to be very hard on people who can't trace their birth parents every has the right to know where they came from and their medical history.

No one can say what they would do unless they have been there.
