@@MathildaFlow lol sure we have a true advocate for disabled people here - playing one disabled community against the other - that’s how it works. Stop being righteous & hateful about things you have no clue about
The sister who said she's going to learn sign language. Legend. And holy moly, is it ever present that Andy's Dad proves they can take your son, but you're still his father. What love he had for his son! What a gem.
You can just see the love pouring from Andy, for his son, and his wife. Mary is too precious. She just exudes joy and a bit of mischief, too. Really lovely show today💜💜💜
Yes, this was my favorite episode so far. That poor man yearning for his son and having NO say in his baby was so heartbreaking 💔. I'm so happy for them
The 1960's were very different. Legally if the parents were not married, in a lot of areas, automatically no father was listed and the father had no rights.
Img I watched it this morning while I was in the shower well I guess I’ll listen to it while I was in the shower. This is addictive. I want to do this job. The research sounds so fun and rewarding. Im a social worker in the US. And I would like to say that social work (state agency) has changed quite a bit since these folks were taken from their parents and the series. We are not perfect yet, but things have gotten a lot better.
I am so happy for Andy. This one really got to me and I cried when I saw his wifes response to his son being found. They are both beautiful souls and I hope they have many more happy years to enjoy his son in their lives.
"the baby was born in june and i met him in november." whew. that's a lot for someone to take on from one they've just met. and they are **still** together. and excellent, loving people. that they fostered a lot of boys is like the one birth mother who went to work in a mother and baby home so she could give the love and care that she didn't get when she was in one.
Andy's wife is a honey... what a lovely couple... full of love - fostering kids tells you so much - what a super dad he must be to them all... wonderful story... thank you for caring & sharing ....
I absolutely love Andy. You can really tell he’s such a kind and gentle man. I love his voice, it’s such a sweet old man voice. The fact that they fostered so many children for so many years really tells you a lot about his character.
i saw her give an interview where she says she pokes herself in the hands and pinches herself in order to not cry. it was so... odd, but understandable. you want to not show emotion but whew.
The wife just makes me so happy, the fact that she feels so strongly over the fact that her husbands child from a previous relation is found and her love for that child that she isn’t even family with is just amazing. Those two are relationship goals and their love is something that we should strive for.
Good point, but his wife is his family, yes, not blood, but in that household, it was about love, not blood, as they fostered so many kids. So happy for them. ❤
When I saw Andy and his wife learning that John has been found, I really couldn’t hold my tears. So sweet. Same with Mary and Shirley, so good to see the sisters together crying and laughing. And Mary’s husband was so happy for her, it was lovely to see 😍My best wishes to all of you ❤️❤️
I'm in my office, pretending to work, wiping tears from my eyes, watching these ... they're beautifully done, thoughtful, kind, sympathetic. I love them. Thank you.
I wonder why Shirley's mother never told her. Especially after Shirley got pregnant and she convinced her to keep her baby. Even if she did not want it known, you would have thought she would have told Shirley.
Wish my dad loved me half as much as Andy loves his son and his foster kids. Mine was a dirt bag that was never there for me. Haven’t heard a peep outta him in 11 years. The fact that men like Andy exist give me hope for this world. What a kind and loving man. 🥰 Also my son is deaf and like many others with disabilities people underestimate him. There is nothing else wrong with him. His mind,heart, and soul are the same as anyone else’s. He is amazing and sweet. Such a loving and energetic 11 year old boy like any other. He is the love of my life along with my daughter. Having him as a brother has made her the best person as well. She is his little sister (8) but she looks after him and always includes him. My heart breaks that her first adoptive family saw her as a burden. It breaks my heart that she didn’t get to meet her mother.
My alleged birth father didn't want me either. He refused a DNA test and swore I wasn't his. This was back in the mid to late '80s. I finally saw a photo of him shortly before turning 30 a few years ago. It was like looking at an older bald male version of myself. He had other daughters he didn't raise either. They also went up for adoption.
raerae1985 sorry to hear this but the truth is some men and women are just not designed to be parents. Parenting is a skill not an instinct and therefore isn’t everyone’s « thing »
My father didn't want kids and wouldn't marry my mother, way back when you had to marry. I was told I was supposed to be aborted, plans fell through. There are signs adoption was thought of, then my grandmother traveled to where I was, took me home with her when I was around 10 months old. I lived with her about 2 years. She worked, I remember going school on the bus as an infant, with my birth mother's younger brothers and sisters. When my grandmother was told they couldn't send me, a toddler to school, my young aunts took turns staying home from school to watch me. That also wasn't allowed, so I ended up being sent back to my birth mother, after she eventually returned and was married to someone else. She hated me, and let me know this all my life. I was a child who didn't thrive, grew up in that family, but all alone. My grandmother was loving, took me to her house every weekend, on vacations and much of the summers. If it hadn't been for her, I probably wouldn't have lived through childhood.
@@CanYouRememberWhen I am so, so, so incredibly sorry!!! You never deserved such treatment from your mother or father. They are the ones with serious problems...not you. I am so glad you had a grandmother who did show you love.
Andy is utterly priceless! What a lovely man - beautiful heart and wonderful personality. Watching his responses, I laughed and cried together. And I have to say, the same goes for John. A brilliant story.
I have watched at least 20 of these , THIS one choked me most of all, Mr. Andy, a man like that the world has never seen the likes of, then the sisters, topped it all off, the sister learning signing, is a real show of acceptance and understanding, she made this old man cry like a water fall.
I raised a deaf grandson and it was the most rewarding loving relationship between me and any of my children!! He was the sweetest most affectionate child because he wasn't jaded by a hearing world and all the nonsense and prejudice that goes with it!! He went to a deaf school because I wanted him educated among his own peers and being deaf in a hearing world can be so very lonely for a small child! Those adoptive parents were cowards to do what they did, they don't know the kind of unconditional love they missed out on and all they had to do is make the effort to learn sign language! Shame on them! Look how sweet she turned out. They missed out on a wonderful daughter. Being deaf isn't bad it's just a different way to be. If I could have given my boy what he needed from my anatomy to make him hear I certainly would, but he is doing just fine without it!
I love everything that you said. I salute you for the love & acceptance you showed your grandson & I’m so happy for the kind of love you have received in return. I wish more people are like you. God bless you & your grandson. ❤️
the fact that they deliver bad news away from the camera makes this such a classy show! here in america we absolutely DO NOT respect anyone's privacy like that, because showing people's pain gets higher ratings and its disrespectful on so many levels
You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Ryan Matthias i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Oh, this one made me bawl. It's so wild how these long-lost siblings are so similar. The two sisters, despite never having met: both wear lots of eye makeup, dark/bold nail polish, and have 'modern' dyed hairstyles. So alike! I'll bet they're alike in other ways. I hope the entire family learn sign language, so they can really get to know their hearing-impaired sister. And that father, Andy! Oh, so much love for the son he never wanted to be given away! How can his birth son not internalize that love... So heartwarming :-)
This has to be the best one yet. After all the sadness in Mary had in the early part of her life, you know that her siblings are going to make up for it. Both beautiful stories with amazing people all around
6th month of quarantine September 2020, Brazil and I am binge watching this show and bawling my eyes out. Love to see these wonderful, heart warming stories 🧡
How heartless to do this to a man who actually wants his baby. It sucks that when it comes to decisions of what happens to a child after birth, the father is helpless.
Very annoying...at least the guy was old enough, you could have asked his family if they could care for the baby since the mothers family weren't willing to do that!! But to give the baby away without his consent at all? And yet his name is not on the birth certificate? Why? He didn't deny his baby, he wanted the baby for Christ sakes! Drives me.crazy!
Some should have had a talk before sex, it falls on before. And he should of waited for sex until His divorce, which is breaking many boundaries. Religion and hospitas are still hard on families.
Hi. I’m a half deaf man from Mongolia 🇲🇳. Started watching long lost family since just a week ago. Then watched every series ☺️☺️☺️because I just felt it. Amazing story’s and beautiful people. Wish everyone can find belonging ones.!! Cheers 🥂
My oldest sister was given up when my mom was only 19 and she found us when she was 24 and I was 11. She looks EXACTLY like my mother. The rest of us look like our dad. 😊
So very true. I was the one who found my husband's biological mother. When we finally found a photo of her on Facebook, she looks exactly like my husband! It was like my husband but wearing a wig and with more female features! Gave us goosebumps when we saw the photo.
Ohhh man. I cry when they're telling their stories. I cry when they;re told someone's been found. I cry when they look at the photos. I cry when they meet. I cry when they talk about their meetings. It's just one big sob fest!
@aguadelparaiso Your question made me curious too. According to the highly trusted source known as “google”, Australia has historically been a popular choice for British citizens to emigrate to in general.
This is one of my favourite episodes, Andy really make me cry. And that his wife wanted him to find his son almost like she was the birthmother Especially loved 27:55 And how sweet is Shirley
Poor Mary has been through so much pain in her life. Not finding her mother added to it. She still seems restrained to me, like she dare not let her emotions out. This series has deeply affected me, deepening my sense of compassion for and commonality with humankind.
I cannot get over the fact that Mary’s adoptive parents decided they could not cope with a deaf child so they gave her back Happily in spite of such tragic circumstance Mary finally found love and acceptance at age 7 married her childhood sweetheart and had two children of Aron now that’s a happily ever after story and now Shirley and other siblings and relatives to enrich her life even more
Andy and Mary are such lovely people. I'm so happy for them. However, I have been binge watching and bawling my eyes out, so I'm quite worn out (but in a good, happy way). This is a lovely show. Thank you for what you do for people, and thank you to all the families who have shared their journey.
Thank you so much for the uploads. I think I watched almost every episode on your channel by now.I love this show so much. Especially the part when they are told that the people they were looking for were found. Always makes me teary. :(
This episode really got to me. She was hearing impaired and she wasn't good enough? She's beautiful has a great husband you can see her spirit is beautiful. I bet the other child they got gave them HELL.
Only those with hearing impairment could hear Mary's cry. Her foster family because of their hearing impaired child and her partner Tim. At the end Shirley walks off with a hand around both. That's damn emotional.
I'm from the Caribbean. Discovered this wonderful series accidentally. Love the care, sensitivity and compassion.....more critically I enjoy the peace and happiness it brings into lives...lives made painful by horrible systems and unforgiving parents.
See this is why I say the father has a right to whether a mother has that baby or not. It is not just her child it is part of him too, The father has rights too
Moms MADD in abortion, thats hard, but in adoption, for sure. There’s no reason(unless personal from the Dad) that the Father shouldn’t have been allowed to have the baby.
I couldn't even if I would to binge watching it's too emotional I have to settle myself down to be able to continue watching next episodes... wonderful reunion sad but just beautiful seeing them so happy undescribable...
What you are doing... reuniting families.... it's God's work. He will always bless you for it. How wonderful and rewarding it must be for you to do this meaningful, purposeful work. God bless you.
I'm watching this again in 2022, and I had liked it when you first posted it, and I have to say that I appreciate your straightforward video without all the blocking techniques that other people have used that make it almost impossible to watch. Thank you!
I watched this episode a few days ago but I came back to watch again, Both of these stories are so touching especially Mary and how Shirley was willing to learn sign language for her sister ❤️❤️❤️ btw I happen to be watching this on November 3rd, Happy Birthday Mary 🎊🎉❤️
This is one of the classiest reality shows I have seen. Props for not doing a voice over for Mary but letting her speak for herself !
Yes that is amazing for blind people. So inclusive.
@@MathildaFlow lol sure we have a true advocate for disabled people here - playing one disabled community against the other - that’s how it works. Stop being righteous & hateful about things you have no clue about
I disagree with how birth parents are referred to as mom and dad and that babies are given up instead of placed for adoption
Mary's story is just heartbreaking, yet so inspiring. She's a true warrior, and deserves all the happiness in the world.
The sister who said she's going to learn sign language. Legend.
And holy moly, is it ever present that Andy's Dad proves they can take your son, but you're still his father. What love he had for his son! What a gem.

Haha.. I know.. Its heart warming really!
One more ,,,,just one more ,,,,,
Thats what I said 3 hours ago 😋😋😘😍😍
I get greedy by binge watching this series. I would start watching one episode and end up watching several episodes all night. Darn me.
Oh my... I hear you. "just one more" i said 6hrs ago

Yup absolutely !! Me too.... I didn't expect to but I did tear up at his reaction of having found his son !! Such a lovely family....
Donna Blosser I know. I was so moved with how equally invested his wife is in his finding his son, you would think she were his mother. That’s lovely.
I’m crying right I’m so happy for him
Andy's wife is a honey... what a lovely couple... full of love - fostering kids tells you so much - what a super dad he must be to them all... wonderful story... thank you for caring & sharing ....

He was married when he conceived the child. SMH
@@adrianacasanova8559he was already going through a divorce.
I'm impressed that Davina is able to be in these situations and not cry. I sit here sobbing as I watch each episode.
exactly what I thought. Her hugs seem so comforting as well.
i saw her give an interview where she says she pokes herself in the hands and pinches herself in order to not cry. it was so... odd, but understandable. you want to not show emotion but whew.
Davina really keeps it together but I would not fault her If she did break down in tears during one of these revealing stories!
I think that if I was a translator on this program I would be çrying my eyes out.
The wife just makes me so happy, the fact that she feels so strongly over the fact that her husbands child from a previous relation is found and her love for that child that she isn’t even family with is just amazing.

I love this man Andy. My god what an absolute sweet soul. Gives me hope in humanity because his goodness shines through.
And his wife. God they are amazing people.
So many men, including my own father, don’t appreciate their own children. I love this man. It’s beautiful.💜💜

So is Nicky! 😊
Wouldn’t be awful if that was all just a showbiz put on? …. And CUT! “Okay, let’s go talk to the next sorry b@stard…”

That time was not so much different to today
Many man wants to be a dad and the mother is just an asshole about that
I agree; these type of revenge is so ridiculous. Everyone suffers, everyone loses.
I'm sure what they did at the hospital was illegal. They take advantage of poor people, men and women both.
Some should have had a talk before sex, it falls on before. And he should of waited for sex until His divorce, which is breaking many boundaries. Religion and hospitas are still hard on families.

@pamelahugh4:
😅 I do the same thing!!!
John is SUCH a beautiful person!!!!!
Well !!!! an Apple doesn't fall far from the tree 😇
I am so so happy for Andy. The agony has been too much , I even wept with him.
Narrator: we hit a dead end
Me: look in Australia
@aguadelparaiso Your question made me curious too. According to the highly trusted source known as “google”, Australia has historically been a popular choice for British citizens to emigrate to in general.
did you see the one where both people ended up in south africa? it was soooo weird. like, "wait, she's just up the road? seriously?" wow.
Pretty much many former colonies is a good bet. Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada are very popular choices.
The sister learned two sentences of sign language in a week !! Oh my heart did a thing when she told her she looks like their mom!! Ahhhhhh 🥺
Such a beautiful reunion of sisters. They can't communicate very well, yet their hearts are truly communicating.
Shirley is such a sweetheart! "I don't know her, but I love her!"
Love that too true love
Thank you so much Cinelic for all the class act videos of Long Lost Family. I’m a big fan of the show from America.
This is one of my favourite episodes, Andy really make me cry. And that his wife wanted him to find his son almost like she was the birthmother
Especially loved 27:55
And how sweet is Shirley
Andy’s wife truly loves him. She wants what makes him happy and you can see the joy on his her face. I’m sure he’d do the same for her. True love.
Mary's sister is such a loving woman! I wish I were her sister too
I've watched this episode many times. I just love this older couple. Gets me crying every time I watch his love and desire to see his son.
Poor Mary has been through so much pain in her life. Not finding her mother added to it. She still seems restrained to me, like she dare not let her emotions out. This series has deeply affected me, deepening my sense of compassion for and commonality with humankind.
I love this show! It's better than anything we have in the U.S.!
I love the fact that the folks who make these reunions possible are huggers! I love this show, it always makes my eyes leak
I cannot get over the fact that Mary’s adoptive parents decided they could not cope with a deaf child so they gave her back Happily in spite of such tragic circumstance Mary finally found love and acceptance at age 7 married her childhood sweetheart and had two children of Aron now that’s a happily ever after story and now Shirley and other siblings and relatives to enrich her life even more
Mary's story was especially tragic. The adoptive parents couldn't provide for a deaf child? Proof that adoptive parents can be terrible too.
Andy and Mary are such lovely people. I'm so happy for them. However, I have been binge watching and bawling my eyes out, so I'm quite worn out (but in a good, happy way). This is a lovely show. Thank you for what you do for people, and thank you to all the families who have shared their journey.
Thank you so much for the uploads. I think I watched almost every episode on your channel by now.I love this show so much. Especially the part when they are told that the people they were looking for were found. Always makes me teary. :(
I better upload some more then.. Haha. You're very welcome, and I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the show as much as we all are here! 😄
This is one incredible series.
Binge watching them and having my heart shattered each and everytime.
Amazing.
This father is a lovely human being.
How tragic that the mother went through such heartache only to die so young. I wish they could tell us what happened.
I absolutely love this program! I don't watch any but UK's. They do it right!
Gosh the authentic love in Mary’s sister’s eyes - 🥰...then Andy’s response 😢
Your uploads are quality, being crying all day
This episode really got to me. She was hearing impaired and she wasn't good enough? She's beautiful has a great husband you can see her spirit is beautiful. I bet the other child they got gave them HELL.
Ikr.
Mary and Tim are such a cute couple, honestly, and such a beautiful little family.
One of my very favorite episodes!!! 😍 Love Andy & John’s story so much❤️
She has loved that boy his entire life too.... ugh my heart
This episode is by far the most emotional for me. I am so full of joy and love.
I LOVE that dads are seeking their children. Men are presumed to be dead beat dads. Dads have been robbed.
Oh God... this was a real tear-jerker! I felt really really sad for Mary..and Andy & his wife were such good souls..
Andy ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 beautiful soul.
a family that tells a girl to leave the father of her child, their grandchild, is NOT a strong family, it is WEAK.
A STRONG family welcomes all.
Only those with hearing impairment could hear Mary's cry. Her foster family because of their hearing impaired child and her partner Tim. At the end Shirley walks off with a hand around both. That's damn emotional.
I'm from the Caribbean. Discovered this wonderful series accidentally. Love the care, sensitivity and compassion.....more critically I enjoy the peace and happiness it brings into lives...lives made painful by horrible systems and unforgiving parents.
See this is why I say the father has a right to whether a mother has that baby or not. It is not just her child it is part of him too, The father has rights too
Moms MADD in abortion, thats hard, but in adoption, for sure. There’s no reason(unless personal from the Dad) that the Father shouldn’t have been allowed to have the baby.
I am a woman that agree's 100%.
Adoption yes abortion no sorry not your body to decide
I like it most when rest of the family - spouses, for example - feels as happy as them.
I enjoy all of this show, but this is my absolute favorite episode. Such love from the new found relations.
So sad but I love the end result when they bring the families together
Need to clone a man such as Andy... to hand out a copy to every female who needs a gentleman in their life... so many twerps out there...
Absolutely
Not as many as you seem to imagine. Maybe you have unreasonable standards.
Am kenyan african lady single would want to data a british man but we Seattle in kenya in naivasha am single with kids
They don't make them like that anymore sadly!! If so he has been caught right out of jr.high school and that girl is hanging on with all 20 claws! Lol
Can't stop watching these but this one is one of my favorites. I'm out of tissue... I wanted to hug them all!
Ok this one made me cry hard!!! Love that he found his son❤️❤️
That was a tear-jerker! Lovely. And nice to see the Capertee Valley which is close to my mother's home town. Thank you for sharing.
I feel so bad he wasn't even allowed to touch his own baby. Wasn't even asked about giving him up for adoption.
Andy is so adorable. You can tell he’s a good man!
I love people who cares about abandoned child. Who think about them and need to make sure they are ok.
I can't keep watching these! Oh my gosh - my heart is so broken, then overjoyed -- my goodness. This was just lovely.
I can’t stop crying. Beautiful souls. I keep thinking of the show all day
All the stuff going on in the world watching this brings comfort
Such love! Remarkable that father & son re-connected!
Everyone needs a father like Andy…
I couldn't even if I would to binge watching it's too emotional I have to settle myself down to be able to continue watching next episodes... wonderful reunion sad but just beautiful seeing them so happy undescribable...
That one made me cry. Two beautiful stories. Thank you for sharing those they’re very inspiring.
While watching , nobody's child, by Karen Young, kept popping in my mind
What a sad beginning for Mary. No parents to love her.....How sad.
One of my favorite episodes ever!!!!!! ❤️
What you are doing... reuniting families.... it's God's work. He will always bless you for it. How wonderful and rewarding it must be for you to do this meaningful, purposeful work. God bless you.
I have cried for hours watching all the reunion shows on your channel. Thank you so much! Keep them coming I’ll been waiting
They are all such lovely people. Your team really does make dreams come true.
I love this show! It always makes me cry. And makes me reminisce about my adoptive dad who passed away years ago. Bless this show!
I'm watching this again in 2022, and I had liked it when you first posted it, and I have to say that I appreciate your straightforward video without all the blocking techniques that other people have used that make it almost impossible to watch. Thank you!
I'm always in a right mess whilst watching long lost episodes
Andy: "i loved him when I hadn't even seen him." Lovely. Just lovely.
I can relate, my mum did'nt see her mum since she was 8 yrs old, o could imagine how hard it was.. Seeing these makes me cried so much..😢
I watched this episode a few days ago but I came back to watch again, Both of these stories are so touching especially Mary and how Shirley was willing to learn sign language for her sister ❤️❤️❤️ btw I happen to be watching this on November 3rd, Happy Birthday Mary 🎊🎉❤️
It's over and I'm still crying 😥
