Long Lost Family (UK) Special 01

Why do we refer to the adopted "child" and not the "adopted adult"???

Surely girls have another way out and if not, why not?

I woke up early this morning to the sound of this with my earphone on my left ear. I'd fallen asleep watching something tidal different themed.

Last night I'd learned that my great niece and nephew were placed into Children Protective Service AGAIN. Last time we took them in while the parent went to rehab and counseling but sadly parents fell back into drugs.

My husband and I both married men in our late 50s and early 60s took our great niece and nephew in but we aren't at an age to keep raising children.

It breaks are heart for those babies there only 2 and 3 years of age.

This is a sign that it should be the children should be cared for by another family. Tristan and Kailani we love you and hope we're still alive to see you another time in our lives. ❤️

It's confusing, them switching from one person to the other. Hard to keeo track sometimes.

Edit: What happened with the black lady? She was on the promo and poof!

Allies' birth mum looked tough as nails. So glad she now has a sister with a big heart.

ATTENTION OXO NEVER WENT TO NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY. EVER!!!

This stories are heartbreaking 💔😔😢 but thank God these babies turned out great in life 💝💝💝💝💝...

Im not crying, you’re crying!
I found my bio dad by accident on ancestry. We had assumed he had died in Vietnam. For 42 years I had thought another man was my bio father. Until he told me the truth 😳and then we did a dna test. Fast forward 9 years, I did the ancestry test just to find my heritage on my mothers side and there he was. I didn’t think I would feel any type of way for a person I hadn’t known for 50 years. But we all have that innate nature to belong to our blood family.

My late mom was born in Dublin in the 1940s and was left in a box (or similiar). Sadly we haven't been able to trace her family.

God bless them! They are worthy! And deserving of all that is good.

I wish someone with old money or new money could have established a genuine mother and baby home where troubled mothers could stay, give birth and raise their babies for the first four years or something. It's a ministry I wish someone would start.

You have to wonder if Karen's adopted mom knew her birth mom.

i watched all the 🇺🇸 episodes then realized like a lot of shows it was originally a Uk show. So pumped to get all new Long lost family stories. Same show basically but less of the theatrics and ancestry advertising plus with adoption records open to social workers they rarely have to go to dna

You are someone. Father God is your father and he wants you all back. Thank the Lord you were not aborted you have had life on this earth and not pulled apart in the womb. God wants you back in His arms. Turn to Him and He will make your way straight...

I had no idea abandoning a baby was such a common practice. I thought it would be a very rare thing. I only hope and pray there are now less foundlings in the present times. God bless and comfort all foundlings. ♥️🙏🏻♥️

I love this programme. DNA testing is amazing! Without it no one would know. PNG

Isn't Alley the spitting image of Sarah Brightman? So beautiful.

I think DNA is the most amazing thing that has come into our generation to help solve so many things like these mysteries for these children that deserve to know the truth and solve crimes. Thank you DNA ❤️ as I always say…. The truth always comes out.
My husband was adopted and we found the mother unfortunately she did not want any contact (so we respect that) I believe that is bc she had another child even though she never married. I hope one day in the future my husband has an opportunity to meet his brother that 4 years younger than him (almost exactly to the day)…. We at least have contact with his birth moms brother (only) but his birth mom does not know.

Watching from Guwahati city in India Mother Kamakhya temple City This story like Hindi movie

why did you not show family of jamie ...

I wish that these people didn't ask insulting questions to their siblings. They don't know why their parents abandoned one of their siblings. Geez.

OMG////😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Im born&raised in SAN DIEGO . POOR graham the UK seems a world away from soCal. Another amazing episode of reuniting family members. Love Davina and NICKY

Just a guess: I think for Karen, the reason her mother gave her up was because the father was different than the others..

It totally broke my heart when KAREN said she couldn’t believe that someone wanted to meet her. Almost like she wasn’t deserving of that. She is so worthy!

I'm just guessing..but maybe their mom kept the first..then gave up this wonderful lady I hope thinking she deserved a mom and dad that would protect and provide her with so much love.
I'm guessing the birth mom was torn so much after giving her up and when she found out she was pregnant for the third time..maybe she was in a better place with money location..more friends etc.that she decided to keep the last...
I'm. Thinking she loved all three very much..

Someday we will find my half aunt.
I would give anything to find her.
Her mother unalived her brother. And her father my granddad could not take care of her.

I held my breathe as a young child praying i be returned from what i lost. All my life spent missing someone to my core. Than discovered my entire life been lied to especially from doctors. Age discrepancy of mother and i have certificate of live birth. Mother always told me somebody should get those birth records from California. I reached out to the hospital thought i was born and was told all records were distroyed at 25 years. And why does Michigan have me declared dead and minnesota i am far from incapacitated completely capable and i need answers. Unfairness in Minnesota. Senate meetings behind closed doors and here now unemployed due to false assumptions of government puppets. Praying for answers... its a National issue, and i demand answers.

Such a great episode 🙌🏽🫂💙🙏🏽

Imagine the shock of a DAD being involved 😮

They found the guys parents, but they never showed him meeting them whatever happened?

I cannot help but think that the woman who left the middle child regretted it so much that she wasn't leaving the baby boy when was time even if it was going to kill her to try to take care of them.

DNA testing has really changed our world like wow❤how 😅

What ever the circumstances were " a woman do not forget that they ever gave birth 😢. I was young but dad said yes the baby was coming home with him and the family, there were 5 more young siblings. He wanted me to finish school! A beautiful baby boy! But if he said no that would have been it. 🙏

Love the series but whoever uploaded this must have had a strobe light flashing😢

That dispatcher on the phone with Jamie's mom was so sweet and soft spoken.

Maybe Karen's mom saw her in a differèlntn. way and also she coúld have had a different dad and lots of com😂plications we don't know about likeborn too close. My friends family had. To give éach family a child to take care of.
To give éach

Desperation. That’s the word that comes to me. Particularly in the older stories, these girls were absolutely desperate. There wasn’t the social services we have today, and there was terrible stigma. They would have either been shunned or treated terribly for having a child out of wedlock…On another note, it makes me so happy when they find family that wants to meet them. Personally, I know two very good friends who sought out their biological parents, and unfortunately they didn’t want anything to do with them. It actually affected my friends more, than by not knowing anything at all. Sigh.

Im so emotional tonight watching this..

Her father is very handsome no doubt her mom is also beautiful and attractive.

i can't take this show.. you literally need to drink a gallon of water before each episode 😫

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED WIRH JAMIE THE GUY WHOSE PARENTS WERE FOUND!!!! WHY IS IT CUT OYR OF THIS VIDEO!! I JUST WASTED A FUCKING HOUR!!

???

Just so awesome!! I'm in tears.

These are amazing stories! I am left with thinking about the incredible gift of life! That these mothers chose life despite incredibly difficult circumstances, and did not abort their child or kill the baby after birth.

Interesting that all the glass doors into the homes have the same design.

In Karen's case may be it was the dad's decision not to disturb his family

May be that mother who left the baby at no. 24 probably knew who lived there, she may have considered that a safe place.
