He seems like an amazing soul and I'm sure he knows his adopted Mom is a saint!!! That had to be so incredibly difficult for her on many levels, and she put her feelings aside to make his dreams come true. Wonderful!
Wow! So heartfelt. You can feel the love between his biological mom and him. You can feel the respect between the biological mom and the adoptive mom. You can feel the love and support that the adoptive mom has for him.
What a lovely mom who chose to raise him. It's cool rhat she's so open and just wants him to be happy. Your parents are the folks rhat take care of you. Hopefully he'll get that x 2.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful reunions I’ve ever seen. May they continue to build a loving relationship together and bless his bonus mom for raising him and taking good care of him into adulthood.
Who is cutting onions😭 What a beautiful village he was blessed with. I can only imagine how it feels to know your birth mother looked for you. SN: social workers and police officers should do more to reunite families in cases like this. The way birth mom described the separation is truly the makings of a nightmare
The lady that raced him is such a beautiful woman and she has so much love and compassion in her heart to help him and to be there with him, I love her so much
Time to sue Baltimore that mess was wrong absolutely absurd to not let a child go with the grandparent they had cars could have took the child to her something not right with this story. I help my niece find her birth mom at age of 15 and this year we found her dad GOD is great so for those searching don’t give up 🙏🏽
Something definitely not right with that past. And I have a very strong feeling that Thaddeus ended up exactly where he needed to be. ❤ If I were religious, this is where I would say God is good.
Thats the greatest feeling in the world to know you weren't abandoned thought about and looked for. I can only imagine the hurt and confusion not knowing your people or bloodline. His entire family biological and extended are beautiful genuine people. Im glad he found them and im even happier they embraced and accepted him.
I started watching this show because of his story. He has such an amazing family. I adopted and it’s so important that adopted parents stay open and stand by their children. This is beautiful!
The fact that she drew her baby, you know she loved him for life. What an awesome adopted mom too! How horrible the circumstances of him being put in the system that way, taken.

God blessed him with a big heart. God blessed him with the heart of openness and forgiveness. This guy had a good upbringing you can tell, and is happy to meet his biological family too. Must be a good feeling ❤
I can’t really be explained hearing “hey baby” from the person who gave birth to you when you have been wired to belong to that, and to see that your whole life and you have been missing it. Of course, others can choose to love you and birthing someone doesn’t make them a the only mother you’ll ever have , but being born to someone means everything to us. I found my father after 28 years. Congrats
I can absolutely sympathize. I almost commented that on another video, actually, when the biological father said, "You're my baby. You'll always be my baby." The look in her eye said it all -- unusual and unexpected feelings coupled with gratitude and nothing but kindness and understanding, but you can absolutely see the odd flicker in her eyes. It's like if you know, you know. I met my biological mother unexpectedly and by chance at 20. All I could do is thank her and tell her that there's nothing for me to forgive; she let me have everything by letting me go. You know what I was feeling. Thank you for sharing. P.S. I love my mom and dad so much. Family is chosen and they chose me when other people didn't or couldn't. My mom and dad raised me from birth -- my sister, too, and she's five years older and from totally different people than me. My dad cut both of our umbilical cords. How could you pay all that money, be in the room, wait those many months, go in front of the judge multiple times, PAY ALL THAT MONEY, etc. if you didn't care more than anybody else? I'm so thankful for all that I have. P.P.S. I'm 30 now.
What a beautiful story, Amen! It's so sad how quick they were to take a wanted child & put them in the system, but allow the ones being abused and mistreated to stay in those "homes". I'm happy the given family was just as loving and caring as I'm sure his biological is. So like mom said, he has 2 of everything! Sn, he's her twin, so cute!! 😢🙏🏿❤️
This young man is really something. He’s a very respectful and sweet soul. I wish him nothing but the best. And thank God for his Mother Karen who chose to love him ❤
I, too, had the honor of meeting my biological Son in person for the first time last year and as we embraced, it felt like I was looking at & holding my baby for the first time. The immeasurable beauty I saw/experienced as I looked at him. No words are sufficient to describe the feelings-pure Love. Heavenly 🤍
Family not the same. I would help raise cousin kids at age 12 and literally sneak kids in my mom house to avoid foster care. Family not the same anymore. My grandmother taught us to help each other. My granny would have 15 grand kids in the hs at one time.
I find it very hard to believe that you could lose your child in foster care and have them put up for adoption without your knowledge and against your will and in spite of you searching for them. I’m not saying her story isn’t true, I just struggle to believe it.
Thank you for your videos. We can't find hope and peace in this world but there is Someone that can give us true hope and peace. Because he Loved us: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Because of his Grace: Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Because of Hope: Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

👼 JULY 8, 2024👼 “WHEN YOU SEEK MY FACE, put aside thoughts of everything else. I am above all, as well as in all; your communion with Me transcends both time and circumstances. Be prepared to be blessed bountifully by My Presence, for I am the God of unlimited abundance. Open wide your heart and mind to receive more and more of Me. When your Joy in Me meets My Joy in you, there are fireworks of heavenly ecstasy. This is eternal life here and now; a tiny foretaste of what awaits you in the life to come. Now you see only a poor reflection as in a mirror, but then you will see face to Face.” (JESUS CALLING)
The adopted mother is a radiant QUEEN! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!❤❤❤❤❤
This!!
His bio mom is one strong mama. I hope she is well now. ❤
Thank yoU!
Not even a minute in, but the look of peace and contentment on his face just hugging his mother... you can feel the love just instantly.
@@brattneyrose5652 yes you can!

@@steverdms Thaddeus is amazing!!! ❤️
It must feel good to know your child has beey raised right and safe after losing them to the system.
Karen is an amazing mom!
He is pure because he was born from purity and love and raised with purity and love. This is one extremely blessed young man.
❤❤❤
Amazing. Even the greetings of home welcoming of his biological parents.
Wow! So heartfelt. You can feel the love between his biological mom and him. You can feel the respect between the biological mom and the adoptive mom. You can feel the love and support that the adoptive mom has for him.
What a lovely mom who chose to raise him. It's cool rhat she's so open and just wants him to be happy. Your parents are the folks rhat take care of you. Hopefully he'll get that x 2.
It was such an amazing moment for Thaddeus to be with both moms.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful reunions I’ve ever seen. May they continue to build a loving relationship together and bless his bonus mom for raising him and taking good care of him into adulthood.
Thank you so much!
He looks like mom
Yes he does!
you are so wrong saying that he looks like a mom
@HumbleDude46995 They didn't say that he looks like he is a mom. They said he looks like his mother!
For da mom that raised u may God bless u with more💯🙏🏽🫶🏾❤️
Who is cutting onions😭
What a beautiful village he was blessed with. I can only imagine how it feels to know your birth mother looked for you.
SN: social workers and police officers should do more to reunite families in cases like this. The way birth mom described the separation is truly the makings of a nightmare
Truth, yes it was!!! The nightmare turned around, THANK GOD‼️🙏🏽❤️
Amen 🙏🏿❤️
This was an amazing reunion to watch for Thaddeus!
Exactly someone was cutting onions over here as well 😂
This is so Awesome and his adoptive Mother sure raised a pretty wonderful young man. Happy for all of them❤❤❤❤
We are happy for them too. Thank you for watching!
The lady that raced him is such a beautiful woman and she has so much love and compassion in her heart to help him and to be there with him, I love her so much
That is his mom Karen. She is wonderful. Thank you for your kind comment.

@@BetterMe981I think that's the narrative she needed to tell herself to cope with not raising him.

Foster mom know that was some bs real mom was putting out talking about she couldn't find him in 24 years he still has his same social security number
