  • This was one of the best days of my life. My younger brother and sister turned 18 and decided to surprise the family after being gone (adopted) since they were 8 months old. I'm just so overjoyed I got to be a part of it all... *Update* Since the day of this video, we have all stayed in contact. Sadly, our mother passed away 11/24/2015 of pancreatic/liver cancer.

    listen, no one knew I was going to take a video. not my brother and sister, no one. my sister was too nervous to eat. So i stopped by McDonald's. They were bringing the good I side to eat. had I planned it, I might have asked them to leave the food in the car. nd as for the cercumstances of their adoption, my mom was a single mom who struggled to support us all. when she realized. she lost her job as a school bus driver after a bad accident. no one in the family could help, so she did what she thought was write, she wanted them to have a good life and they did. They were raised by a wonderful family on a ranch with horses. What living parent wouldn't do that for their child? But say what you want, make fun of my spelling, I don't care. I'm just trying to share one of the best moments of my life.

Youngest girl & their baby brother is turning 13 in a couple of months & live with me 50%.I love my children beyond words.The story behind all of this is way too long though.Anyways;How come some ppl.see this short clip & judge the girl for eating McDonald's food🥤🍟(!)I can tell she's most likely nervous just from the way she eats,boy is exited too🧢.Who wouldn't be..? But most importantly-'I see a very happily surprised mum!So glad you did this💗I've gone through all sorts of thoughts & feelings over the past 20 yrs-from guilt/helplessness to tears of joy/ happiness.A fifty shades of grey kind of thing.But that's my story. I've been in the fostersystem as a teen myself and some foster parents are far from perfect! There are often several reasons as to why things turn out the way they do.Some ppl.need to take a look at themselves before judging others.I can somehow relate,but was never in this mums shoes & nobody's perfect so who I am-or anyone to judge.There is obviously more than this short clip to the story.I was struggling to hold back my tears-& literally shed some when I read what you wrote & that she passed so early.(She looks pretty(&)young to me,about 40 maybe-anyway I feel eventually meeting her twins gave her some sort of peace of mind at the end of the day...Thanx again so much for coming up with such an amazingly heartwarming surprise,& also for uploading & sharing this precious moment on RUclips.I really hope you & the twins☯️👩‍❤️‍👨(& her loved ones)are all well & doing okay/good-& to mum-RIParadise🧘‍♀️📿🐎🏕️🏞️🌌🌉🌇🌃🦋🗻🌁🌫️🧖‍♀️🌿🕊️🍃🍂🌈🌬️🌊⚓🏖️🧜‍♀️🏝️🎠🎶💫✨🧚‍♀️💞🌠

    I'm sad for your loss & I'm very glad you made your mother happy before she passed away. There is nothing compared to pleasing your parents who have made sacrifices to raise you. Ignore the naysayers. Only your mother knew her own predicament at the time of giving the twins up for adoption. For her twins to come visit her of their free will it shows she did the best for them & they truly understand. Sometimes this is how things are meant to be (in regards to your mother's passing so soon after). From a good deed you gained a relationship with your siblings & long may it last. Stay blessed you truly warmed many hearts.

      Catherine Tran You only know what is told to you if you’ve never met your biological mother. You don’t know she does drugs and if she did she may have turned her life around. She was brave to carry you for nine months. Apparently she doesn’t believe in abortion. A lot of times children are giving up for adoption for a better life than what the birth mother can give them and I call these women courageous and selfless. You won’t know unless you see for yourself or you can believe what your being told and never know the real truth for yourself.

    I'm 14 years old. When my mother was pregnant with me, she told my father that she was pregnant. My father ran away for not believing I was his daughter. My mother was an Alcoholic and Drugatic. When I was 2 I went to Foster Care because my mom went to jail for stealing. I was adopted by my cousin. Then the Child Services found a bruise on my cheek which I had to go to foster care again! I was in foster car for one year until my Great Aunt (mom) found me. She came all the way from IL, to get me. Now I live with my mom(Great Aunt). I have 3 little sisters Ashley, Billy-Joe, & Alexis. My Birth mom is in rehab right now.
    I vow to find my father when i turn 21.
    My father is Henry Lowe, plz help me find him!
    My name is Samantha Prater, My Birth Mom is Elizabeth Hunt/Prater

    To Stephanie---
    Try to ignore negative and judgmental comments. Some people just can't seem to control themselves when given an opportunity to spew hatred anonymously. I read somewhere that the average you tube commenter was something like 14 years old. They have a lot to learn about the hard, hard world. I hope they learn kindness at some point.

      +Stephanie Fameli For the 1st time in my life (and I'm OLD!), I feel at peace with myself.Something "funny" tho-as early as the 1970's I "felt" that birth family was very close to where I was raised. I KNEW I had siblings-gut feeling. And about the time my birth mother passed a few yrs before I connected with the family, I KNEW she had died. Come to find out much of this HUGE family lives about 90 miles north of me, & yes, I have 3 half siblings, and yes, my birth mother died about 2 yrs before I retained a lawyer to find her. No matter where we are, I think blood calls to blood, & that's as it should be.
