- In this video, I (Ryan) explain how I found out at the age of 15 that I had a full-blood biological brother. This wasn't anywhere on my radar and I literally had no idea. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought this could be a thing.
Devon was put up for adoption, our parents went separate ways in life, eventually reunited, got married, had 2 more kids (my sister and I)...and years later the discovery happened.

About us: We're biological brothers who lived a large portion of our lives separate without knowing one another existed. Now we've bought land together!

That’s great! And that your mom had to explain how it happened is precious.❤️🤗🐝
Thank you! We appreciate you watching and for the nice comment!
@@OurNewLand You’re most welcome❤️🤗🐝
I love this story! I just watched your brother's video and then came over here. How wonderful that everything went so well. God bless you and I hope you have long and happy lives together.
So nice of you to say. Thank you very much and thank you for watching!
Wonderful! Made me emotional too. I have two adopted daughters, and pray that someday they can find their birth parents.
Thank you, Barb! I'm wishing the best for you and your daughters!
You're a great mum Barb. I think I'd feel scared I'd loose their love.
You must feel very secure in who you are & your relationship with your girls must be so good.
Well done.
I watched Ryan's video and it was really touching. I'm so glad you ended up reuniting, thanks for sharing your side of things. Your family is amazing!!
Thank you so much! It has truly been life changing!
@@OurNewLand you people are so sweet, you reply to everyone's comments. 😀 Mrs Kerry from Australia
Such a great story! ❤️😃👍Something similar happened to me but I actually knew my younger brother existed but didn’t know where he was. He found us about 9 years ago. We have different moms though. A very long story.
Oh wow!
What an AMAZING Story!!!! I adopted several children and I am curious what kind of conversations that we will have in the future. :)
Thank you! So happy to hear that!
Yours is a really sweet story. It’s marvelous how you reacted to the news. I don’t think there could’ve been a better outcome. Terrific! 😍
Well thank you! Definitely an amazing outcome. Appreciate the message!
Wow, such a crazy story! Glad yall found each other again!
Thanks a ton! It's been an amazing experience!
This really is a great story. I am happy that you were all reunited. I am enjoying y'alls channel a lot!
Thank you so much!
So happy for you both. I was 18 when i first met my biological mother, it was on the day of my brother's funeral. After that she was gone and never heard from her since then. Oh well
Wow! Families are funny things….
It's so nice to hear a happy story, I'm still crying over your bothers video! Good luck to all of you!
Thank you so much! Yeah, his video gets me every time!
Oh good! Got to hear your side of things. You both seems like great guys. Thanks for connecting these two videos.
Thanks again, Karen. We're glad you liked them!
That would be quite the experience to find out you have a sibling that you knew nothing about.
It's been an amazing experience! It's hard to even put it into words. Thanks for watching!
That is such an awe some journey. I knew about all 8 of my siblings but had not seen the two older girls in 25 yrs when we met at a reunion
Wow! Families are funny things, right? No two are alike. Thanks for watching!
You look so much like your brother and I just finished your brother's video and right after found you. What a great story
Thanks so much!
Enjoyed both of your stories
Thanks again! We need to do another installment of the About Us story.

Awesome story!

Dear Lord, you look just like Devon. Exactly the same facial features. Two beautiful men, inside out. So happy for you all!
So nice to say! Thank you!
Glad you found each other, I did foster parenting 13 years and have an adopted one girl and she has met her parents and wants nothing to do with them 😊
Bless you for that! You hear about that pretty often, and many times it's probably for the best.
What a awesome story ! ❤
Thank you so much! It's been a wonderfully life-changing experience!
Your the coolest little brother ever man so bittersweet you love your brother Devin no doubt and he loves you
Thank you so much, Leroy! He’s my brother and my best friend!

Sure would be a mind-blowing event😵💫 nice got to unite with Devon ☺️
It was! Thank you!
I don't know why this makes me weepy(cry)
Maybe we all need more happy stories! Thank you for watching!
I remember aobut how I found out about all my half siblings. I was also put up for legal adoption, WITHIN my own family. My mother gave me and two others away for legal adoption to HER mother and her Mother's 3rd husband, so I and two others were raised by my grandmother and stepgrandfather.
Wow, that is amazing! How old were you when you learned that information, if you don't mind sharing. Thanks again!
Great story. I want to know how you got that scar on the side of your head?
Thanks! Interestingly enough, I was attacked by a dog (an Akita) when I was 9. Luckily it was chained up to a tree or it probably could have been worse. I have 2 puncture wounds in my arm/shoulder, so I guess when he lunged at me, I threw my arm up to block him, one tooth must have grabbed my head ripping back and 2 got me in the arm. I was able to roll away. The scar on my head is pretty straight, except for the end closer to my neck, so it can look like I shaved it intentionally. I had 16 staples and it looked pretty gnarly early on. There were many Vanilla Ice references growing up.
You 2 guys look so much alike you could be twins!! Does your sister look lik you???
I'd say our sister looks more like Devon, and they both take after our maternal grandfather. I take after our paternal grandfather. Thanks for asking!
When your brother sees you, does he feel like he’s seeing his younger self?
Great question! So, I (Devon, the older brother) am trying to think of how best to answer this. I think during the first few years after meeting Ryan, I did see him more as a younger brother than I do now. Now, I see him more as my best friend - which he is. Maybe this is a common feeling of brothers as they age? I didn't grow up with a brother, so I don't know. We talk/text with each other several times every day. Our sister and her husband are in the mix as well, as we are all very tight and we think similarly to each other. It really is an amazing experience. Thanks for asking!
I can't imagine that you answer my questions so seriously, you make me feel special. I am very grateful. Your parents made the best decision to have you. @@OurNewLand
So if that brother was put up for adoption, HOW did your mom get in contact with him again, as all the laws that i know of about adoption is that the birth parent is not allowed to contact the kid after its placed for adoption?
Hey there, Lauren. Our father had placed his name on the adoption registry years before. Then when my brother added his name, the registry made the match, notifying both parties that they were eligible to be put into contact with each other. Our father then called our mother to tell her. Thanks for watching!
@@OurNewLand oh so the connection was made after you all were adults. ok. thnx. im so pleased for you!
@@Lauren-vd4qe Thank you! Devon was almost 30 years old when he was reunited with us - his biological family.
Very interesting.
Glad you think so!
❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!!
You where driving through Marietta Ok in this video
Impressive!
Wow your so like your brother
Haha, pretty similar. Thanks for watching!
Aww
Thanks for visiting our channel!
Your funny! Facial hair...1🤣🤣
So silly looking back, but I guess it was very important to me at that time hahaha! -Ryan
I guess he wanted to know if he was going to grow facial hair too. 😄
Sweet….
Thank you very much for watching!
to be fair...facial hair is important ;) I used to ask my mom all the time if she was sure I wasn't a twin.
Haha, thank you! I was a late bloomer and around 15 years old my other friends were growing facial hair so I guess I was very concerned!
What made you feel like you were a twin.
