The fact this she had no other children is crazy and now she has a child and a grandchild. Amazing..
How did DNA find a match, since the family had been looking for her, then DNA didn't reveal anything.
They were located through a data base.
Why is having one child crazy?
@@freshstart4423 They were found through DNA. They had a closed adoption, her uncle was already in the DNA site. They would have never found if she hadn't also did a DNA test.
I wondered if the pain of having given her away, precluded her from having any MORE children.
Same here got 2 kids somewhere..
This is amazing. I am 57 year old truck driver, crying in my truck. Don’t tell anyone. This was absolutely a beautiful story.
Same here. Beautiful story!
I am a truck driver also sitting in my truck crying also SMH
we get tear up easily as we get older my friend ....I noticed that a lot myself
And that's okay. That's why God gave tears to us. To use them when needed. To cleanse our soul. Never feel a certain type of way because you cry men. Jesus wept too. ❤
I'm a grown man, you would have thought someone was chopping onions around me. Such a touching story.
I love the uncle. He said " you're my niece and right now you're my favorite niece. I love that they were looking for her 😢
Lynn Moody???? Wow I saw her in Roots. She's so pretty. She looks just like her Mami. They both look so young. Just beautiful.
That Dna is strong. The generations resemble each other.
They are good looking
So they found each other through a database search, DNA doesn't mean anything. Just another scam. 01:26
@@freshstart4423 No, her adoption was sealed that's why they never found her until the DNA test.
@@brucep9393 See how they trick people, you can't match DNA unless your DNA is on file somewhere. The DNA is logged with other information about you.
I'm a birth mother to a beautiful almost 25 year old girl. Her adoptive mother has told me she has dealt with abandonment issues her whole life. I was too young to take care of her. It takes alot of courage to make the life altering decision to place a child in someone else's care. Happy Birthday (on the 11th) to LL. I love you with all my heart. I will be here when you're ready ❤
I hope everything turns out good for you and your daughter. Happy mother's day!
Bless your heart I hope that everything goes well for you sweetie . 🙏🏻❤️
I help adoptees find birth parents you’d be surprised how many adopted mothers do not tell children that they were adopted. LL needs direct contact with you. You should talk to her not through another party. Out of respect adoptees often wait too late to search. My one adopted man was like I got a bonus mother
I'm praying you see her soon. God Bless You
Especially if you don't have a clue if child will be raised with love and affection. A gamble that I personally would not ever take!
Grandson has the same exact teeth as his grand mommy! How sweet!!
Hi Gloriah, how’s your day going with you?
And my goodness......they look so much alike!! In those 'side-by-side' still photos they look sooooo much alike. I was in tears during parts of this video. Glad they have found each other and can build their relationship from here. Very happy for Lisa Wright and her son. They all seem to be very grateful and thankful for finding each other. Just a beautiful story......
Yes, a very nice story indeed. However, let's never forget the adoptive mother who did all the hard work of raising the child and making all the sacrifices.
@@VeeFoster Geez...... 🙄
Hey, 'Debbie Downer'.....no one is forgetting / disrespecting the adoptive Mother.
@@VeeFoster I saw on another interview she only went looking for her birth mother after the adoptive mother (and father) passed away. She did it because she was heartbroken.
I remember watching Lynne Moody on TV growing up, she still looks great. I’m happy for both women, this journey ended so well. Now, they have each other. So funny, watching her mama on That’s My Mama….you can’t write stuff like that😁
God is so good! Beautiful people, beautiful story.
She was phenomenal in Roots and happy for their connection.
It was the fetal position crying that got me. It really hurt her. I love watching Ms. Moody on the big screen. I'm glad that they both have this hole filled. Continued blessings.
It wasn't God's will for her to give up her daughter, that's what that shows. He reconnected them, but this is not what He wanted for them.
I'm not crying you're crying. The most touching story.
Her adopted mother gave her some kind words for her situation...
What a beautiful story!! As an adoptive mom, this really hit home. Congratulations to Lisa and Lynne and their whole family!
"Is this my daughter?" I cried. She was also in Knotts Landing, one of my all time favorite shows.
They both be looking 45. Bruh the blessed skin😍
I HIGHLY suggest watching Tamron Hall's interview with these beautiful ladies. It is much better and will have you in tears. This is such a powerful story and I'm glad Lynne and Lisa found each other again. Much love to Lynne's brother who was instrumental in them finding each other. 🥰
Exactly as it explains why she gave up child
Both versions are good.
And to GOD be the glory. Amen 🙏🏾.
They deeply needed each other, throughout all of this time & the universe finally united them! Beautiful story! Wishing this family endless love & happiness!
A universe does not have the capability of orchestrating something like this. This was The Lord Himself. Please be respectful and give the credit to the one who watches and cares for all of us : Jehovah.
They were united because of a DNA test and national database. Credit goes to the many brilliant minds that discovered DNA, developed means for testing and identifying DNA, conceived and created the Internet, and so forth. Without all these smart people who studied and worked hard and thought hard and used creativity, this would not have happened.
@@breckrichardson390 if her son would have not suggested the thought of her taking a DNA test this wouldn’t have happened. I believe God gave the son the thought of the DNA test to go forth in finding her mother 😉
& the interesting part is that the Mother gives credit to God for bringing them back together in the Tamron show
Her Angel Mom sent her Mom!😊💖🙏
Totally 🤧
She looks so much like her Birth Mom’s Family they are absolutely beautiful people what a glorious story from her adoptive parents loving story of how they were blessed with her & to her birth mothers story 💜💜
Hi Pamela, how’s your day going with you?
A lot of people forget that Lynne Moody had a recurring role on Knots Landing too. I am so happy for Lynne and Lisa.
She got her mother’s whole entire face! Just beautiful!😍❤️
She is soo adorable!! What a sweet woman!!
“Life is full of surprises. Be open to MIRACLES! DON’T give up!” Thank you for sharing your story and this
beautiful quote. I NEEDED to hear that. Let go and let God prevail!!!!
The way I cried like a baby when this story broke on the Tamara Hall show because I can relate to this story!!
This story had me crying tears of emotion. How wonderful for Lisa and her Mum, Lynne Moody. The are 2 Beautiful women. ~ Althea
This such a beautiful story. This is the best Mother's Day gift for both of them. I also remember her from Knots Landing.
Yesss she was on Knots Landing.
This has got to be the most feel-good touching story of the 2021. BEAUTIFUL!
I'm bawling! I first saw this story on Tamron Hall and just had to learn more. I'm so happy for them both.
we definitely need a movie out of this story. it's so emotional.
Lisa I’m so glad you found your mom!!!! Love 💕 you Lisa💕🥰
Beautiful words from the adoptive mother. Some adoptive kids grow up feeling unwanted by their birth parents and develop all kinds of emotional and psychological problems. I wonder if the right words are told about their adoption would help them heal the way Lisa heard those words from her adoptive mother.
Ms. Lynn is a very beyoutiful
woman! As a girl I would
just gaze when she came
on the screen. Great
story☺️
OMG, They both look beautiful, the mother looks really young and she has to be in her 70's
They're both so beautiful! I honestly couldn't tell which was which in many of the photos.
Her twin family is everything ❤
Wow..I must have wiped my eyes through this whole videp
Finally, a feel good story!!
This is Beautiful!! I pray for those who battle with giving their children up
This is beautiful! I am so happy for all of you! What a blessing! I have a similar story, and my birthday is December 10th also! I did DNA ancestry to find my biological father, and my results came back with matches. At 49 yrs old, I saw my dad for the first time. Unfortunately, my dad passed in 2017, but at least I saw his picture on his obituary. We look just alike! I also saw I had 4 siblings! We have all met and I have met my dad's side of the family. God is TRULY amazing and I am forever grateful. Many blessings to you, your mom, family and to many new wonderful memories! ❤️🙏🏽❤️
Beautiful….I got goosebumps!
And this beautiful woman was her only child.
Absolutely the best outcome 💐
What a blessing and I most definitely know the feeling..., my sister found us after 43 yrs and when we met she came to me first because I was her last person that she remembered . So when we met I then took her out of town to meet our other sisters, biological mom, host of nieces , nephews etc...
I keep watching this over and over again I am so happy for them
SOOO HAPPY they found each other and No DRAMA, and I always LOVE Ms. Moody voice since i saw her in The Jefferson...
So Happy for them, Best of Luck to All of You
both are pretty ladies
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story ❤️
Hi Patti, how’s your day going with you?
I want you to know I watched your video and you are lovely ladies. I just met my birth mother for the first time in over 50 years at Christmas time in 2021. I searched for her while living in Los Angeles in 1989, and at that time she did not want to meet me. It has been a long emotional journey but I finally met her. My heart goes out to you and I am so happy for you. What a beautiful story.
What happen when you meet her
Happy ending! Thats my mama is a good show, never gets old!
Wow!!! How Amazing Is This. What A Tremendous Blessing. 🙏🏾❤🙏🏾❤
Miracles do happen. Time, love and hope we’re on both Mother and Daughters side. Both of them are walking in freedom. This story made me cry happy tears.
This is beautiful 😢
*I’m balling watching this. And I remember Ms. Moody as the original Jenny Willis on All In The Family before The Jeffersons spin-off.*
Good she was bless to have a first chance to meet her mom
I love how they embrace each other
Show lots of love
I'm about to find out who my relatives are. I was adopted too. Got a DNA test coming in this week
Hope you found your family
Hope you guys have a beautiful reconnection!
Omg, they both are so freaking Beautiful. May God Bless them all💜
AMAZING!!!!! So happy, beautiful story I'm smiling ear-ear with tears🥰💞💕😍 thank you for sharing your story with us
That warmed my heart!
Beautiful story … God brought them back together 💖💖💖
She looks Just her mother two beautiful Queen
Beautiful
The mother looks incredible
AMAZING MIRACULOUS BLESSING ! The adoption records should not be sealed for life. But when man closes a door-GOD Opens a Window🌈Hallelujah 🌈
The best adoption story ever!!!! Thank God!!
I cry every time I hear this story. I saw it on Tamera Hall and it’s just so touching. They are twins! . We have loved Lynn Moody’s work and never knew what she was carrying. 🥹 I’m so happy you found each other ❤️❤️❤️God bless your family😊
This is so heartwarming. I come from abusive parents and always dreamt and wished I was adopted. Then one day I could meet my real mom that would love me forever.
AWE....SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STORY/REUNION@!
THANK U JESUS!

I'm in tears ...I too gave up a daughter at 19..they took her away right after birth and my mom didn't want me too see her...but I did anyway...I'm still trying to find her and I'm 55
May the universe grant you assistance, grace, and mercy in your pursuit!!! Don’t give up!

Try AncestryDNA maybe she will also do the test one day if she wants to be found. Many blessings.
