I find myself in tears watching this segment, I wish this family happiness and good luck. Bro no 9 is a gentleman and son no 1, a perfect eldest brother.
If a parent really loved the child, they would not give him up. My grandpa has 13 children. No matter how hard, through the civil wars, they kept all their children. If they have a noel of rice, it will be shared 13 portions
I too found out I was adopted at 27 y/o and like Richard was shocked and devastated at the news, not so much because my biological parents gave me up but because my “parents” were not who I thought they were. All these years they had treated me better than some biological parents do their children. I have no wish to search for my biological parents nor do I need to know why I was given up. The fact of the matter is, my adopted parents love me like their own and that is enough for me.
I am happy for you, Richard. Family is always precious, and you now have 8 other family members to share your life with! BTW, we served in the same Air Force unit back in the days (200 SQN), so it was also good to see that you are well!
This brings a tear to my eye. I had a roommate after my divorce whose Mother had given up her baby brother for adoption. She was single and could not afford to raise two children. Jackie always talked about trying to find him. This was over 30 years ago, before we had the Internet, I sure hope she got her prayers answered like Richard.
It's so touching and emotional to hear your story and reunion. You are lucky that you were able to trace your biological siblings after so many decades. My wife was unlucky as she was given away withing a year of her birth. From Chinese she was adopted by a Eurasian couple from a Christian orphanage in 1952 in Perak, Malaysia. She only has her adoption certificate and indicates she is a Chong. But she did not take the trouble to trace her biological parents as there was no clue at all. Anyway, her adopted parents had passed away as she is happily married to me for the last 45 years. Just to say not all adopted children can trace their biological parents so easily. Wishing you all the best with your biological siblings.
Great story. So crazy that he had interaction with a brother and cousins and didn’t even know it at the time. I love how he is still grateful to his adopted parents. I’m glad on his deathbed his father told him the truth or he may have never known. Maybe they didn’t tell him sooner because he was their only child and they were afraid he would abandon them. Sounds like he had a great life which isn’t always the case with foster or adoptive parents or step parents. That was a big sacrifice for his parents to give him away when they were in hard times and didn’t think they could feed him or take care of him. At least they are reunited now.
Yeah, it's amazing how their genes led them to congregate to a certain point together. I read stories of separated families that worked together or met up because of a certain hobby without knowing that they were related.
The parents who raised you and loved you, nurtured you and stood by you, that is the family you cannot deny and should be grateful for. They have more merits than the one who passed the genes to you. You have not missed out on family love or anything because you not only have your family who nurtured you, you have gained another set of family. I'm happy for you. You should treasure both.
Which one if you had a choose would you want to be with and raised? i would want to be raise with my real family! I would love that and i love and thank the foster parents also but my heart would want to be with my other siblings and parents but i love and will always appreciate and take care of them!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️
I got waves of goosebumps and finally when the surname was mentioned and “gao zai” was mentioned in Cantonese, I teared up because that was my mom’s Cantonese surname too. Totally can relate to the entire experience. And all this took place in the midst of a deadly pandemic. Blessed is this family of Wongs.
I am 60 years old and I do empathised with you and your life. Meeting your biological family at this age is definitely a gift from God. Best wishes to you Mr Richard Yong (Gao Zai). Love from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🇲🇾. 🙏
So happy for the wong family. I was born in 1946, never know or seen my father. I was born in 1946. Before my mother passed away, she told me my father is a Japanese Soldier. My grandparents are from Kampar, Perak. I have been trying all my life to find my father, but with no luck.
I feel happy for you and I am glad that you found your biological family. There are some children who were given up for adoption in the 40s and 50s because some families were big and due to some reasons had to give up their children for adoption. You are one of the lucky ones who is united with your biological family. The couple who adopted you , did a good job raising you
They did a good job of raising him. The reason behind adoption is your choice to accept or be upset. If it was me… I’ll be upset because too many kids that being separated from your siblings is not something I want. I don’t care what is the reason unless you’re a sick baby etc.
So heart warming. I’m so happy for them to have found each other again. I still have a long lost sister who hasn’t found us yet. I thought about her all the time. Where ever she is, please know that we all love you very much.
Wherever they are, your biological parents must feel so consoled. My mother was given away as a result of my grandmother’s illness just after WW2 in Singapore, too. She was not as lucky as you in terms of parental love, but in the end, she understood that everything happened for a reason. Happy for you! 🎉
That is so lovely. Thank you to the family for letting it be filmed too so we can share the happy news. No one easily gives away a baby. My great grandmother despite being widowed twice (each time a baby) managed to keep her ten surviving children together but it was a big struggle as a widow here in the UK in those days.
Such a beautiful story! As an only child, I can appreciate his happiness in being reunited with his brothers and sisters as well as their families. They seem to be really lovely people. He must feel truly blessed!
The pain his parents must have experienced in making the decision to give him up for adoption must have been unimaginable. Obviously there was no way to hide it from the siblings either so that pain was magnified in the hearts of each brother and sister as well. So happy they’re finally all together again.
Happy for them. It is a story of those who were born in the 1950s/60s. I once encountered two sisters talking so lovingly at a restaurant. I was curious and asked why the bond between them seemed so strong. They said they were separated from a young age because one of them was given away. They were pleased to meet again. My sister-in-law's sister was also given away. Luckily, the mother and daughter remained in contact. Whenever I hear these stories, I am always grateful to my father. He kept all his children, despite the hardship.
Omg..this is AWESOME..im in tears.. God bless the Wong family,the adopted family n to those watching this video.. Thumbs up please... Greetings from Leeds UK... Tqvm...
Let me first say that you were an absolutely beautiful baby. I think your biological family loved you very much and found you a wonderful family to raise you. It sounds like they went through a very rough time. Glad you have found your siblings and reunited. Thank you for sharing your story. I did have some tears.
So happy for all of you Richard! What an incredibly lovely family! I agree with you about knowing you are adopted a lot sooner. We adopted a child and all of the counseling we received was to teach them their story at a very young age using age appropriate terms. Our child is now 28 years old and wants to adopt as well. They said their experience was so happy they would like to bring joy to foster and adopted children as well.
Very touching. So happy for Richard and the Wong family that they were reunited. The adoptive parents are really special people to welcome another's child into their lives. Inspiring.
You are one lucky bloke. You have two fathers and two mothers. It's a double blessing so you should treasure both.Some people growing up in orphanage do not even know who their father and mother was.
Welcome home,Mr Wong, I had tears of love for you, when I saw your story on ST, RUclips. Congratulations to your long lost family. Padma from Kuala Lumpur
Oh it got me. Blessed Richard. You are so well brought up by your adoptive parents. Both families have come a long way and all children are so well brought up and doing well. God bless .
This is such a sensational and touching story - I am tearful while listening to Richard Yong aka Richard Wong . There is no word to describe his emotional status of mind. We all should feel happy for Richard although it must have inevitably hard for him to be caught in between his adoptive and biological parents. Richard has every right to put forward those 3 questions that all given away children would have wanted to know to the depth, because this is like the common statement “WHY ME?”. I have a few good friends who are in the exact shoes of Richard. Some of them are very forgiving and understanding after their biological parents gave their explanations, but some just carry hatred for being made the black sheep and being picked to give away. This is a really tough and challenging status for someone like Richard to put into words his mixed feelings after being told by his adoptive parents that they are not his biological parents. It’s a blessings that anyone like Richard being loved and cared by his adoptive parents who have made Richard’s life meaningfully healthy and blessed with Bliss. Like many adopted children, Richard is an adult now and the only person who know exactly what he wants and chooses to do to be with both his loving families after the day he stepped into the door of his biological family who received him with such welcoming warmth and open arms. I am certain that his biological family should know exactly what they are going to do even after they have found their loving brother 九仔. Happy Ending . May God bless him, his adoptive mum and his biological family.
I know this video was posted 6months but it is never too late to say what a wonderful, happy story to share with everyone. May you and all your siblings have many, many years of shared family love ahead of you. Thank you for sharing.
Coming from a family with 10 siblings, I cannot emphasize enough how catastrophic his loss must have felt, and the emptiness his birth family must have experienced, to have a wanted son and brother lost due to tragedy and finances. He and his siblings look so elated talking about eachother and spending time together. What a beautiful story.
I was 13 when i found out i was adopted. When Richard said he had three questions, i blurted each one out just before he did. In the same order... I think all adoptees do. I was baby #7... [the oldest was a boy 13 years older, I was the 6th girl) and found out there was a #8 after me. It was a boy. They kept him. It wasn't until I became a mother myself that i stopped being angry and understood that they didn't keep him just because he was a boy... I totally understand Richard's biological mother's pain. And mine. And tbh i ended up knowing who my biological parents and siblings were and respected each other's space. My adopted parents were amazing parents, amazing and giving human beings. I was given a life that was privileged and blessed and filled with lots of love. ❤
Thank you for sharing your beautiful and touching story. I wish you and your siblings life long togetherness and growing love. You are a blessed man to have had such a warm and nurturing adoptive parents and now to have met your biological family.
This a very touching true story, but for olden giving away baby is quite common, the most important thing is your adopted parents love you, give you good education, so please continue to love n care for your adopted kind parents.
Don't feel bad. At 64 I am adopted and I learnt it Ard the time I was a teenager by chance. I somehow don't feel I need to find my real siblings becos to me my adopted mom is my mom. She passed away when I was 30 some 34 years ago. To me I am glad I loved her as my own mom. It does not matter to me if I found my real family. But that's me and I don't harbour any resentments or whatever feelings becos my mom and my dad who passed away when I was only 14... It did not matter. It does not mean I don't want to know who are my siblings are. To me my close friends are my family today.
Your adopted mum will always be your mum. She was there for you growing up and loved you, that will never change. If you searched for your biological family you will not be betraying your adoptive family. You can continue to love your adoptive family just as much. A human heart is capable of loving lots of people, we have capacity to add more people to those we love. We don’t love our children less when we have grandchildren, but our hearts add more loved ones to our list. I encourage you to find your bio family, find out what happened, find out if there are family members who will become cherished by you. Find out what traits you have, who you look like. Even if you find they are not interested in you, at least you will know and never wonder. It takes courage to reach out, but it can be a wonderful experience. In my case it was, but interestingly my love and admiration for my nonblood related mother actually grew! I love her more than ever, meeting my bio mother and siblings has been wonderful too. I have a Mum who raised me AND a bio Mother who made the difficult decision to give me up.
My only regret was your mum who gave you away never had the opportunity to see you returning - the same with your biological dad. I cannot imagine how it shred their hearts when they decided to give you away. But I'm sure they are at peace now knowing it was the right decision at the time for your own good.
Awe, Family that genuinely luv and care for one another is Amazing!😊❤ God bless ya'll, Always! What he said is truly amazing, "I can now breathe again!"
Wow what can I say, it's like watching a movie, except this is happened in real life. So emotional, needless to say, lt moved me to tears. So happy for you guys after separated for so long, reunited at long last. Enjoy each other and enjoy you live. If possible make more videos and keep us posted. 🎉🎊❤️
Blessed reunion. Everything happens at a certain time and space for a purpose, glad the reunion finally happened and that Richard is able to live out the rest of his life with his beloved family
Wow I couldn't stop crying😭😭 watching this very hard story as a mother and father give it away but I'm so glad they United again gefeliciteerd🙏🙏🙏 peace and love🌷🌷💯
I had my youngest sister born in 1961 or 1962 at the Chinese maternity hospital KL! She was given away at birth to the bukit nanas convent, KL. Her given name then was Lim Swee Lee. About 40 years ago, I personally visited the nunnery to enquire her whereabouts but in vain! The nunnery refused to disclose anything and frankly I dun blame them! Now that we have all aged, our parents and my eldest sister have died too I would love to know how she is doing, that's all! I have also accepted the fact that she might not acknowledge me but we have all grown old and time is of essence here. I don't want to die with this regret! I have always wondered whether I should just give up the search! Even if I could find her and she was willing to meet up, how would we face each other? What to talk about, who should start the conversation and such?🤔 Anyway wherever she is, I wish her well! Gosh, I am tearing up, so I shall stop now! 😢😭
Don’t dwell too much on it. If you really want to meet or know who they are in your heart keep searching. Put into your heart that they may not want to deal with that (embarrassment). I hope the heartiest for you.
Perhaps the policies at the nunnery have changed in the last 40 years. If the nunnery is still in existence, you might be able to find an email address or phone number for them. I hope you find her, and if you do, don't worry. I think she would want to know about your life, and of course, you want to know about hers! Also, the hospital where she was born might be willing to help you identify her date of birth. My best to you!
What a fantastic tale of " Kaw Chai "......just incredible indeed....... I am 74 and was in tears to know of your findings.......take care Richard Wong Kaw Chai.....( as I may call you now ....! )
My family refused to sponsor my passport in my birth country and I end up having to move back to my country of citizenship. Which was a country I never stay before. We were a big family of 12. It hard to take it when your siblings refused to easily sponsor your passport for you when as citizen they easily can. I had to relocate to a new country with my wife and kids. I felt completely let down and feel totally unloved. They would like me to turn up for family gatherings and expect me to fly my entire family back every time for it. As for us they never bother to care for our welfare or life. Such a one sided treatment. In the end I refused to deal with them and kept far from them. My own family felt betray by them all and felt we are just being bully and used. I was the youngest in 12 siblings. Today I’m happily staying in a new country with my own wife and 5 kids. Not all family and siblings treat you well. Like the saying goes “ stand far from those who treat you bad but near to those who love you”
It sadden me after reading ur comments. I was told by my dad tht he wasnt my bilogical dad but i chose him then the other cos i ve no idea where or how to start searching for my bilogical dad but was later told he might not be still living. I feel invinsible with my family now though im consider the eldest. Like your comments stated is unfair 1 sided treatment. So i feel very alone n rejected by them. I did wht i can by any means to visit them..spend more time with them cos we all are no more young. I dont get any visitation from them. They do visit the rest of the family who lives close to my area. I got no calls even when im sick. I feel down n sad.
I wish your family reception had been warm, loving, inclusive and validating. The emotional pain must have been terrible for you and your own children. It is probably better to have very little , if any, contact with them at this point. Perhaps you will find your greatest joy in celebrating the love of your own children. The love of your children is a precious gift.

So heart warming. I’m so happy for them to have found each other again. I still have a long lost sister who hasn’t found us yet. I thought about her all the time. Where ever she is, please know that we all love you very much.

She was not as lucky as you in terms of parental love, but in the end, she understood that everything happened for a reason. Happy for you! 🎉

It sounds like they went through a very rough time. Glad you have found your siblings and reunited. Thank you for sharing your story. I did have some tears.

I was baby #7... [the oldest was a boy 13 years older, I was the 6th girl) and found out there was a #8 after me. It was a boy. They kept him. It wasn't until I became a mother myself that i stopped being angry and understood that they didn't keep him just because he was a boy... I totally understand Richard's biological mother's pain. And mine.
And tbh i ended up knowing who my biological parents and siblings were and respected each other's space. My adopted parents were amazing parents, amazing and giving human beings. I was given a life that was privileged and blessed and filled with lots of love. ❤
Very emotional and touching story. Your Mom in heaven will be happy to see you all together now.
Heart touching story!! May your latter years be the best years of your life!!
I am glad to see your newfound happiness, ie reunited with your long lost relatives. May God bless all of you.
Long lost siblings.
9:11 "Hey mother, we found gau chai ah" - I started bawling.
Beautiful Reunion, oh my, I am all tears when they actually meet. Thank God for this ❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing your beautiful and touching story. I wish you and your siblings life long togetherness and growing love.
You are a blessed man to have had such a warm and nurturing adoptive parents and now to have met your biological family.
Great stories and I’m glad that they are united. No matter what, the person who raise you are the most important person in the world.
Love this segment of ST! Should feature more! So heartwarming and encouraging!
congratulation Richard myself in tears watching your reunion, God blesses you all in abundance
This a very touching true story, but for olden giving away baby is quite common, the most important thing is your adopted parents love you, give you good education, so please continue to love n care for your adopted kind parents.
Don't feel bad. At 64 I am adopted and I learnt it Ard the time I was a teenager by chance. I somehow don't feel I need to find my real siblings becos to me my adopted mom is my mom. She passed away when I was 30 some 34 years ago. To me I am glad I loved her as my own mom. It does not matter to me if I found my real family. But that's me and I don't harbour any resentments or whatever feelings becos my mom and my dad who passed away when I was only 14... It did not matter. It does not mean I don't want to know who are my siblings are. To me my close friends are my family today.
" ...i loved her as my own mum..."
You are such a grateful person!
Your adopted mum will always be your mum. She was there for you growing up and loved you, that will never change. If you searched for your biological family you will not be betraying your adoptive family. You can continue to love your adoptive family just as much. A human heart is capable of loving lots of people, we have capacity to add more people to those we love. We don’t love our children less when we have grandchildren, but our hearts add more loved ones to our list. I encourage you to find your bio family, find out what happened, find out if there are family members who will become cherished by you. Find out what traits you have, who you look like. Even if you find they are not interested in you, at least you will know and never wonder. It takes courage to reach out, but it can be a wonderful experience. In my case it was, but interestingly my love and admiration for my nonblood related mother actually grew! I love her more than ever, meeting my bio mother and siblings has been wonderful too. I have a Mum who raised me AND a bio Mother who made the difficult decision to give me up.
Good for you having found your long lost siblings. May god bless you and both of your family
It has brought me tears. I just want you to be happy now that you found your family...
Thank you for sharing this lovely and heart warming story and makes me appreciate my siblings that I grew up with.
I teared when the dai korh said in Cantonese, "mother, we have found gowtsai" .
My only regret was your mum who gave you away never had the opportunity to see you returning - the same with your biological dad. I cannot imagine how it shred their hearts when they decided to give you away. But I'm sure they are at peace now knowing it was the right decision at the time for your own good.
A ninth child is a burden? Very strange
I’m so happy he found his family. I’m happy for all his siblings, too!
my goodness.. imagine working with your brother but you didn't know it was your brother wow. emotional reunion for sure.

I had my youngest sister born in 1961 or 1962 at the Chinese maternity hospital KL! She was given away at birth to the bukit nanas convent, KL. Her given name then was Lim Swee Lee. About 40 years ago, I personally visited the nunnery to enquire her whereabouts but in vain! The nunnery refused to disclose anything and frankly I dun blame them! Now that we have all aged, our parents and my eldest sister have died too I would love to know how she is doing, that's all! I have also accepted the fact that she might not acknowledge me but we have all grown old and time is of essence here. I don't want to die with this regret! I have always wondered whether I should just give up the search! Even if I could find her and she was willing to meet up, how would we face each other? What to talk about, who should start the conversation and such?🤔 Anyway wherever she is, I wish her well! Gosh, I am tearing up, so I shall stop now! 😢😭
I wish you would find each other & reunited soon amen.
What is her 中文名子?her new name will be totally different, and I bet she doesn't know she was adopted.
Don’t dwell too much on it. If you really want to meet or know who they are in your heart keep searching. Put into your heart that they may not want to deal with that (embarrassment). I hope the heartiest for you.
Perhaps the policies at the nunnery have changed in the last 40 years. If the nunnery is still in existence, you might be able to find an email address or phone number for them. I hope you find her, and if you do, don't worry. I think she would want to know about your life, and of course, you want to know about hers! Also, the hospital where she was born might be willing to help you identify her date of birth. My best to you!
Do a DNA test and if she has done one, you will match and be able to find each other.
What a fantastic tale of " Kaw Chai "......just incredible indeed....... I am 74 and was in tears to know of your findings.......take care Richard Wong Kaw Chai.....( as I may call you now ....! )
So happy for Richard ! His eldest brother MC is such a wonderful Big Brother with Love 💗💗💗Happy Reunion !!
My family refused to sponsor my passport in my birth country and I end up having to move back to my country of citizenship. Which was a country I never stay before. We were a big family of 12. It hard to take it when your siblings refused to easily sponsor your passport for you when as citizen they easily can. I had to relocate to a new country with my wife and kids. I felt completely let down and feel totally unloved. They would like me to turn up for family gatherings and expect me to fly my entire family back every time for it. As for us they never bother to care for our welfare or life. Such a one sided treatment. In the end I refused to deal with them and kept far from them. My own family felt betray by them all and felt we are just being bully and used. I was the youngest in 12 siblings. Today I’m happily staying in a new country with my own wife and 5 kids. Not all family and siblings treat you well. Like the saying goes “ stand far from those who treat you bad but near to those who love you”
It sadden me after reading ur comments. I was told by my dad tht he wasnt my bilogical dad but i chose him then the other cos i ve no idea where or how to start searching for my bilogical dad but was later told he might not be still living.
I feel invinsible with my family now though im consider the eldest. Like your comments stated is unfair 1 sided treatment. So i feel very alone n rejected by them. I did wht i can by any means to visit them..spend more time with them cos we all are no more young. I dont get any visitation from them. They do visit the rest of the family who lives close to my area. I got no calls even when im sick. I feel down n sad.
I wish your family reception had been warm, loving, inclusive and validating. The emotional pain must have been terrible for you and your own children. It is probably better to have very little , if any, contact with them at this point. Perhaps you will find your greatest joy in celebrating the love of your own children. The love of your children is a precious gift.
