You can see a visible, palpable change in Mark. He needed this reunion more than almost anybody I've seen on the show. You can actually watch him starting to heal and it is AMAZING! ♥️
My mom found me and my brothers 25years after being taken away by my dad. It's been 30 years since our reunion and tremendous healing occurred, at least for me because I was 5 with many memories and connection. These stories make me cry every time. Also met a half brother 10 years I didn't know existed. Heand I get along very well. God brought us all back to my mom before it was to late. I've made it a point to help my mom heal after so many years separated. Keep healing people from broken families! It's so important to help people deal with deep brokenness.
Every time someone looks at a picture and quietly asks "may I keep this", I just find that moment so incredibly moving. It's as if that one tangible thing, a photograph, has filled so much emptiness and they can't quite allow themselves to believe this moment is finally here, and you know they're going to hang on to that photo for dear life. I just burst into tears evert time.
Thank you for posting these precious episodes
Seeing is believing...the moment when what was only words becomes a vision of reality. It sort of proves our ears can deceive us easier then our eyes can!
Me too 😣
She was an innocent child, no reason to feel guilty.
That is the most moving moment for me as well. A simple photograph which we take so much for granted, becomes an instant treasure for these people. I love these episodes but every one of them makes me sad that women were treated this way for so many years. That having a baby out of wedlock was such a shameful thing for families that they sent their daughters away to give birth alone and hand their babies over to strangers after a few days, then return home and pretend that nothing happened. While most of the children were adopted into wonderful families and had great childhoods, they were all feeling lost and knew that something very important in their lives was missing. I would NEVER have sent one of my daughters away if this had happened to either of them - I would have allowed them to bring their baby home to raise.
We are all to often inclined to judge people by today's standards but the world of decades ago was a very different place !
It’s disgusting how unwed mothers were treated in those days.
@bee azz No, it was harsh judgement by hypocrites.
bee azz no it’s called being an asshole
Tables have turned . Treated like heroes these days .
That’s what shotgun weddings were for and they had a good reason to do it.

I was in a home for unwed mothers home also. If my aunt hadn’t of intervened, I wouldn’t be able to tell her daily I love her. That was 1963. That beautiful baby girl now has a son and 5 grandkids...... look at all I would have lost. I do remember hearing my name being called thru the haze of pain meds I was given. The one ‘mistake’ the owner and the nurse made was they didn’t realize I’m a lefty and they were trying to put an ink pen in my right hand to sign the papers of adoption. This is where my aunt comes in. She, in no uncertain words, explained very explicitly that ‘we aren’t giving our baby away’. My family was amazing. I was able to finish high school. But sadly my mom passed away the next year in same month of her birth when my baby girl turned a year. Watching programs like these makes me even more happy I got to raise her myself.
Take care,
Kate, theflutterby🦋, from Seattle....❤️🌈💕
Glad your aunt intervened.. Thanks for sharing your story, Kate! Blessings and love ❤️
Verlena Sutton you are blessed❤️
Verlena Sutton OMG this is so beautiful!!!!!!!! You HAVE an amazing family!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Your aunt is a brave hero on my book ! Bravo . 🐯 🌼 👑
*”The quietly whispered question of “Can I keep this?” absolutely slays me every single time...* 😢
I thought the same!!! The way she treasures that picture ❤️
I can tell you as an adopted person that when I recieved that first photo of my biological mother I was very emotional.
IKR Me too.i end up crying all the time.
“She’s my daughter and she’s absolutely beautiful”
I loved hearing those words.
What a gorgeous mother / daughter pair they make. They look so alike 💗
"I hope I didn't ruin her life" that broke my heart, to think that she feels guilty bout something she had no control over & is actually a victim herself...🤧🤢
I watched this today and came to comments to say the exact same thing.
She is not a "victim".
It's very easy for you as men to blame a young mother.
Mark processing the thought of his mother being found made me feel I shouldn’t be here watching his raw emotions. I’m on my third episode of long lost family tonight so that means I’ve been crying for three hours.
Paul Nurse I blame it on the onions mate laugh out loud
My eyeballs ache.
Michael David I'm thinking that the tears that us viewers have shed have a bit more to do with empathy rather than onions......
that was the sweetest "oh hell no" ever ❤
😂
rude
I was 17 when I became pregnant and right away I asked my dad to take mom n me for a drive and I nervously told them my news.Well my dad, lovely man that he was, told me that he already knew.i was shocked bc I told no one.He told me he had seen my mom pregnant 10 times (inuvaluit*sic love lg fams) how would he not know? I cannot imagine what these ladies went through.i had support all the way, these girls did not.They did not have even any consideration.They had just gvn birth,vulnerable , scared and alone.No comfort no warmth no respect no humanity.None.Breaks my heart.These people that mistreated n mishandled n robbed the babies n young girls of a lifetime together cannot be human.What HUMAN would do that? Too many.Too damn many.Thank GOD they hv closure.Beautiful.
I love this show but I don't know how anybody can watch these reunions without bawling. Gets to me every time. I'm so glad fro these people who find family members and are wanted.
What fantastic news for Mark to meet his mother and find out about his birth father and actually meet him - meeting both birth parents before they pass is such a blessing for him.
I really appreciate this program. It's so far above the US Version -- done with such empathy and grace. Thank you to the producers and hosts -- and to those who post the episodes.
As an American, I run like hell from any US version of UK series. They just have to shove in unnecessary drama.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Skyler Harlan instablaster =)
@Daxton Raiden I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Daxton Raiden it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
The UK version of this show is gold standard. The whole production, cinematography & musical score are well-curated & how a proper docuseries should be. The sceneries of UK are breathtaking to look at. And the hosts Nicky & Davina are both perfect for this. I also love how considerate the whole production is if a not so good news is to be told & they respect anyone who doesn’t want to appear on camera. You can also feel the raw emotions. It translates through the screen & never cease to make me cry.
Nicky is a good listener and Divina is sweetheart. Their are just perfect for the job. God bless this two souls❤❤❤❤

Not everyone who tragically loses their Mom at age 16 gets the chance to meet their "other" mother at age 49! And I think it was so thoughtful of Marc's birth Mother to make the effort to ensure he was adopted by a family with the same religion as her own. That makes their new connection even deeper, as he was raised in her faith, they have even more in common. And now they both have a whole new "bonus" family to get to know. Lucky!
Awe bless Davina, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen you close to breaking down. I used to wonder how it’s possible for you and Nicky to stay so composed when me and probably the whole viewing audience are in pieces. Bless
If you look around RUclips, there are interviews with Davina and Nicky that discuss how difficult some of these searches can be for them. Well worth watching if you can find them.
Davina and Nicky have been in the exact situation that’s why they are perfect for this show. They know first hand how it feels!
@@pennyk1943 I love that they chose to have seasoned presenters and interviewers who have been through it do the show. It brings a level of understanding and empathy to the show.
My parents thought me and boyfriend broke up because I always came out of my room with puffy eyes because of family long lost 😂
😂😂😂
😂😅
Yep. My 10 year old keeps saying "mommy, what's wrong?" 😂 I say "Oh, I'm just happy crying". Then he just laughs and hugs me.
the immediate " Oh hell no!" was honestly so real and lovely haha I am so happy for them all.
It's amazing how the kids given up for adoption resemble their parents the most.
Nicky and Davina are so kind and caring!
So glad to see in the update that Mark was able to reunite with his birth father, too!
Look at that mom and daughter. In the beginning I was amazed how young the daughter's body looks like for being 55, and look at the mother's arms at 73! Amazing. Sorry if I was being shallow.
Genetics🍓
Not at all - my thoughts entirely! Incredible genes. I look like Keith Richards does now. And I'm only one year older than Julie. DAMN!
Caroline Elliott Hahahaha @ Keith Richards. Well if nothing else Caroline, you still have a great sense of humor
@@theoryrealist9866 It's getting scary now mate - being locked down here in boiling hot SW Morocco for 6.5 months ain't helping. Thank gawd for facemasks!
You are not being shallow. I thought she was older than 55. She looked great, but I sincerely thought she was in her mid 60's.
The presenters on this program gives sincere hugs
Yes, I think the same thing. I want to some their hugs. They’re amazing huggers.
@@HilaryIsOkayssss to the morning 🌄🌄🌅🌄🌄🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅
I love how she said, “Oh, oh, HELL NO!” Im sure he listened to that, more than once. Perfect
Perfect indeed.
I hope this man can be an example to other adoptees that they were loved and not rejected. I cant imagine meeting the daughter you were forced to give up and finding a tall exquisite woman with the most loving heart. Their souls are very alike, each worried of the other.
I just love this! I've seen a US version, but didn't know a UK version existed. I found it yesterday and have been binge watching ever since. It's beautifully done, and I just feel like I want to meet all these lovely people and wish them the best of everything.
Kudos to all involved, and thanks to the person who uploaded the episodes! :)
I was happy to find these too this past year. I like the respect that is shown when it is learned the one of the parties is deceased. Telling such info off camera in the UK is a much better way to go.
I just found the UK version as well. Loving every episode 😊
Again, so lovely to see these wonderful people finding peace about the beginning and the end of their stories.
You are amazing, for uploading these. Most of my day I spend looking forward to watching your videos, so rarely we get a new episode, and then you come and spoil us with all these uploads ❤❤❤
Just sharing the love ❤️ ...and comments like yours, is enough incentive. :)
Thank you so much Cinelic for uploading this episode.
So much appreciated. :)
The mother and daughter both had homes with a lot of white decor and minimalistic. How interesting!
They even dressed alike!
Certainly Julie was a gorgeous baby, because she is really now.
These people are real angels, helped all those long lost family reunited.
im from Philippines working here in Qatar..watching this program makes me relax and happy..God bless to your team
Beautiful Son & Mum! I was so touched by how his mother made absolutely sure he was raised in a proper Jewish family filled with love. And also, how stunningly beautiful mother and daughter are. How heartbreaking to hear how she gave up her daughter. Her love and diary of her lost child was celebrated. I'm so happy for these all these people were reunited and their hearts were filled and complete. *God Bless*
But he half white, so a white adoptive family would have been fine too.
Such splendid cafés and countrysides. This programme is the best touristic advert for Britain /Warm.regards fromTunisia.
Indeed!
The Jewish mom is so beautiful she's got a really kind soul that comes through her kind eyes.
It’s so interesting to see that mostly adopted men have problems struggling with feeling rejected.
while women often want to meet the bio mother to assure them that they are ok . And that they understand their mum made the greatest sacrifice, and how hard it must have been ,and hope that the mother is ok. Shows how different women and men are. ( to be clear I’ve also seen it the other way around, but this is what I’ve seen watching all these episodes)
Yes, my ex husband was adopted and he always said he wanted nothing to do with finding his mother since she rejected him!
I suppose the adopted women have a certain understanding that the men don't have, that is being a mother themselves made them be able to empathise with their birth mother better.
Whoa! Youre so right. I hadn't thought about that.
That’s a great insight. I had a friend that was adopted. He didn’t want to search because he said ‘if they didn’t want me, I don’t want them”. He always had relationship issues.
Because men basically never grow up. They need much more nurturing than we do. :-)
Esther’s story is hard. Having survived the Holocaust her family basically condemned her to live a life of pain and separation when they should of know how that destroys lives. Forcing the children to pay the sins of the parents is heartbreaking
That's what I was thinking. Their lived experience should have made them less judgmental and intolerant. But it did not. Also, Judaism goes through the maternal line. Regardless of paternity, all children of Esther are considered Jewish. So her family's disapproval of the boyfriend would make no difference.
“My Father Was A Married Man!” That would be a revelation to deal with. Julie seemed to take it all in stride but continued with her search for her birth mother!
Great job again Nicky and Davina!
My eyes are burning with tears but my heart feels such happiness for these families
Love this page. Especially how perfect the quality and audio of the video. Would love for you to post more episodes. If possible.
💛
I've never seen such a physical transformation as in Marc. The pain he felt to a radiant joy.
Refuse to believe that Julie is 55.
Maybe because she has grey hair. Julie looks great, but 55 is not what I thought...her mom is over 75. That would mean she had Julie around 25. That's not a teenager making a decision to give up her child.
One she looks so great for here age she looks 55 I think but a really good 55 my sister are the same age and she looks even better
@@Emy53 her mom is 73. and she is 55. 18 years
Davina and Nicky you bring such joy. Bless you for all you do for others.
How kind of you to take the time to post this. Happy New Year and thank you.keep up the good work.
Just sharing the love ❤️ you're very much welcome, and have an awesome and happy New Year as well! :)
Crying for 2 days straight bingin this show lord help me
Same! 4 days for me
Who else loves it as I do when they say "so, this is where am gonna say goodbye, your mum is over there, good luck"
The families that ordered their daughters to give up the babies have deprived themselves of their grandchild and any great grandchildren that might happen.
It was a different time back then. Families were shamed by their friends and neighbors for having an unwed daughter who was pregnant. I had a great aunt who went through the same thing, she had to live in a home for unwed mothers until she gave birth and the baby was taken away. It destroyed her life having to do that
@@lesliemartin5559 But it was not ashamed by neighbours that daughter and grandchild were abandoned?
Born in 1966 to an unwed mother, I was one of those babies and my family kept me but I was always the family shame, the one nobody liked and as far as they were concerned, I ruined my mother’s life.
When I saw the lovely mum , Mariam and the equally lovely Julie. I thought about them as being a little girl and her mum ! Even though the daughter is now taller than her mum ! Blessings to all in this episode and the followers from California . 🇬🇧 🐨 🧸
Julie and Marion have the same style ..
She could have coved up a little in respect for her mum.
@@irisheyes5890 what are you talking about? they dress almost identical.
it's spooky, hey.
They look almost identical!
@@irisheyes5890 That's a silly comment. She was clothed just fine.
I would also look for this married father just to know who he was. He must have had a family and it's a small world.
These programs are very well done. I am so happy you all found each other. Always makes me weep with joy.
Awww that mother who worked at the mother and baby place ❤️
Davina has the greatest smile!
The Jewish guy looks exactly like his adoptive parents!
exactly
Such sweet meetings. Thank you.
The UK correspondents are so much more caring and genuine!
Agreed 💖 the UK Version better than the US.
I like the US too
@@kristinadaubney2068
Gi
@@kristinadaubney2068 gggt5ggfff to 666pp0l the guy
As an American, I believe the US correspondents are just as caring and genuine. It is about culture differences. Some might believe that the UK correspondents are more dramatic and "sappy". It's just a different of cultures, maybe if you really understood "diversity" you would be more open to other cultures. I like them US & UK the same. Of course since I don't know how far Hammelsmit is from East End (for example). The locations are not as relatable for me.
Mark looks so much like his birth mother.
She looks like she has cataracs.
And they both are wearing quite a few rings on their fingers.
Carole De You are right . I did not think about that ! Strong genes there . She was a strong woman to meet him . Because her other children weren’t aware of his existence. Some woman have kept the secret for so long that they refuse to meet the one they gave up . It happened to my daughter-in-law . 🦋🐨
I noticed that as well. Especially when they smile. I just wished they lived closer together.
Thank you so much Ma'am Davina&Sir Nicky for devoting your both precious times in helping these people inneeds connecting to their long lost families i'm on tears most often while watching these amazing stories.godbless you both,love from Vancouver,Canada
These episodes have helped me with the rejection of my bio father.i found him in My teens on MySpace and then in My late teens again. His parents were overwhelming with love for me and now My two beautiful children. My bio fathers family some anyways have excepted me back with open arms.At lest others in my situation have had happy endings to their stories.
I can’t watch any episode without crying, how do Devina and Nick stay dry eyed? 😭
Too bad that the American version of this show does not begin to compare to the quality of the UK production. Bravo!!
Thank you for this !!!!
I wish My reunion with my birth mom had gone that way. I always imagined I would look like her and what it would be like and I never felt comfortable with her She didn't have any stories to tell me she didn't have any pictures She never cried seeing me or acted as if she missed me... She had a daughter a few years after me and I never really had a place in her life. I'm so happy for these people that get the reunion that they hoped for.
So sad that that happened to you! I wish for you that it could have been like these shows! I have a niece out there somewhere that I would like to find. She has two sisters who don't even know she exists! But I know and I would sure like to find her even though it's been 64 years since she was born ! 😢
Davina is such a gorgeous woman. I just love the way she looks and the way she interacts with people. Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you,for sharing and uploading,Merry Christmas😘.
I have watched all of the episodes without skipping at all, you guys are doing beautiful work. So well put up videos. Stay blessed
Glad Mark met his father, too🤗
The family resemblance of both stories is undeniable
Thank you and happy Holidays!
gods! he got to go to New Zealand!!! i’m so jealous. i love the way he looked at her when she her son’s photo. just lovely. and Davina is just so caring. the two of them keep the show warm and loving :) 🌷
Rebel with heart. Look at that smile.
Thank you for putting these full episodes of llf on here. They are excellent videos. But where is season 8 episode 4?
Unfortunately, I don't have it at the moment. Been trying to procure it, and will keep trying! 😄
@@Cinelic I appreciate your efforts in bringing these episodes to us.
i just figured out why S8E4 is so hard to track down. probably because someone famous is in it. also, i see it on amazon prime.
@@Cinelic thank you so much for your work. i see S8E4 on amazon prime, but i haven't renewed my subscription so i haven't seen it.
the presenters and whomsoever are involved.. are angels... giving hope to these unfortunate stories to be finally a significant account in their lives.. god bless you all
I WAS wanted..and I still am. Words to live by.
I wonder if the birth fathers of some of these people recognize the photos and think....oh shit!!! I wish they would come forward and admit their involvement.
In all but a few circumstances, the birth fathers are cowards.
I so love these stories about reunions.
My thanks and Merry Christmas.
Wonderful series that I love watching and Davina: love the way you dress!
Julie has a beautiful heart. I think she must have gotten that from her adoptive parents. They did such a good job raising her to be so empathetic towards her birth mom. You can tell she was loved and made to feel the love they had for her.
Wunderbares Video! Danke!
Watching your videos reminds me for my long lost brother. Actually I'm from Malaysia. On 31st July 1964 my brother went to England for further study in Oxford University. Untill today he never come back to Malaysia. We have lost contact many years already. His last letter to my mother.. he told us that he got married with a British lady and have a kid. After that until today he never come back and we lost contact. And I don't know how to find him. My mother missed him so much until she died few years ago. But I'm not losing hope to search for him. Maybe there's a way or clue for us ....... Thank you for all your videos that made me not and never give up ...
I hope and pray for you, that one day, you will be able to meet your brother. May be the social media could help.
I wish you luck.
@@novembrasheva6213 Thank you so much for your care and thoughtful. May God hear our voice and bless you my friend ...
Funny how people in a religion that is so strong on family can so callously reject their own grandchild. Such hypocrisy
Mindy McNamara It wrecked to think of the suffering the family endured during the holocaust , maybe losing family and friends. And to turn their backs on a baby !! Embarrassment maybe , or the fact that the dad wasn’t Jewish . But the baby was already conceived . 👑 🕊
@@marycook1644 The baby Was Jewish. Jewishness is passed through the motherline. His father could have been a chimpanzee,and he would still have been Jewish. Many people have been very surprised to learn that they are technically Jewish because X times granny was
These are so good for the soul. I wish my meeting my bio dad had been as fairy tale. But he likes the drink. 🙄😒 so happy to see the happy endings. Had my first baby at 27 years old and I didn't feel ready. Can't imagine being a decade younger and then going home without the baby. It's soul crushing to think about. This show is full of angel hearts helping heal some of the deepest wounds you'd never guess any of these beautiful ppl are carrying around. I've watched a few of these now and am just in awe of the love and care in each episode. It's all just so beautiful.
i love this show. hope to reunited with my family one day..
You guys do a wonderful thing. Bless you. I think it's like the love of the Lord every time.
I'll never not ugly cry to these.
she and her Mother did their hair the same color they also looked alike wonderful thing
Guilt over what happened is a good thing in this case otherwise the conversation of it would not be possible...you didn't make a mistake, you made a human being is all that matters.
Julie's guilt was mis-placed shame. Both emotions unecessary for her long suffering. Be kind to yourself and show yourself compassion as you would to others in the same situation beyond your control. Hugs to all.
I love this show. Julie seems to be extremely sensitive. I definitely believe "guilt" is the wrong emotion for her to be feeling. Julie didn't sleep with a guy who turned out to be a scuzz-bag cowardly asshole who was married but hadn't told her that. I just feel sorry for her birth mother and what she had to go through after this fraud had been perpetrated upon her. And it never ceases to anger me how just because it's women who bear the burden of procreation in society due to biology, society feels the need to shame ONLY THE WOMEN who are fertile outside of the construct of marriage. The men get away scott-free... while enjoying a consequence-free sex life. So unfair, angering, frustrating -- it really should be illegal the way women were (are) treated in this world! It's definitely immoral... Society should be worshipping the ground upon which women walk, given all women do in this world.
I was happy to hear Julie's birth mother say that Julie looked like "my family"... and not the miscreant birth father (who I hope ended up having a miserable life)
Maybe, but not all men are like that.
Women do for the world but men do a lot more for this world. Look around you everything you see was built by men.
i never knew my dad and when i found my cousin, first cousin after 48 years of not seeing her, Patty did not want to see me again, very sad
I have taken my family for granted after feeling these feelings with these most beautiful people's.
It’s fitting that the last time she saw him, he was in her arms. They have come full circle.
I could watch these all day. So good 😢
So many people were adopted. ..so many.
"You don't give your baby away, they snatch it away". 😢😢😢😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️
