This woman is so lucky to have had three loving parents. Some people don't even get one.
👍 true
💯 right
Very true 🤞
Yes I had a mother who was only about her career and absolutely hated being a mother. She passed away 5 years ago when I was 35 but I never felt like I had a mother.
@@Amber-tu2ol I'm so, so sorry. I don't know your mother's story, and maybe she had a justifiable reason for her attitude towards motherhood, but no child should never have to suffer the way you did. I hope you find closure and healing.
The irony of the daughter growing up and watching, “That’s My Mama” without realizing that WAS her mama. Wow.
😭❤️
Amazing ❤
The woman from "That's my Mama" was really her real mama. What are the chances.
That is exactly what an adoptive mom should tell her kids.
I’m adopted and found out at 12. Went looking at 16 and found my family at 18. EVERYONE accepted me except my birth mom. I was the only child of 7 that was given away. I didn’t get the happy ending this woman got but it’s so beautiful to see people get through something so traumatic
I am sorry for the loss of your relationship with your birth mother. Of course she had her reasons for letting you go back then. May God heal her soul so that she can release the guilt and anger she holds inside before she transitions to the other side, in Jesus name...amen.
I’m so sorry you didn’t get that “happy ending” you were looking for. I hope you have a happy life anyway.
@@logo9470 honestly, things like that can have effects on your relationships with others. I’m not a people person bc of it .
Your birth mom probably has an ENORMOUS amount of guilt that resulted in her not accepting you when you tracked her down.
It's OK you are not alone
The fact that her mother was on a show called " That's my momma" ties it in all together quite nicely. Beautiful story.
Agree the message she was receiving without knowing was so powerful! A higher power is always at work ❤️
And the gag is her mother was also in the original ROOTS movie series. Look at God!
How ironic
I never seen that one.
Agreed, same with the other show being called Roots.
Let’s take a moment to recognize and, appreciate the adoptive parents for assuring her often that her mom LOVED her!! Even though they probably didn’t know her, they instilled nothing but positivity in her about her biological mother! This whole story had me so very emotional and, I’m just so happy for them and, this perfect ending! May she live many more years to be able to relish in the beautiful moments of her daughter and, grandson! ❤
Yes yes yes! 💗
Agree, yet the focus for a few in this comment section appears to be on making excuses for the biological mother.
How did they know then? Plenty of different experiences.
@@chrissiebabe234 they didnt know but wanted her to have a good feeling.
So wonderful for her. Sadly, I recently read an Asian adoptees memoirs who said her white adopted family often told her she was rescued, did nothing to help her fit in and beraded her for not making honor role like the other Chinese kids. Turns out she wasn't even Chinese.
That’s devastating, no one gave her a choice to keep her baby and they blind folded her so she can’t see the baby. This is traumatic experience but I am grateful that they are together.
I didn’t hear nowhere that she wasn’t given a choice to keep her.
@@BijinMCMXC she said her parents took her to a home for unwed mothers and dropped her off for 8 months and then they blind folded her and took her baby. How did you not hear any of that? 💁♀️🤦♀️
@@larissaperry6230 Shorty, get your ears checked. Better yet, learn what words mean. She was advised and, I assume, pressured into going that route, but at no point was she FORCED. That means she had a choice. Get it now? 🙄
@@BijinMCMXC Right, She gave up the baby from her own choice.
In the 1960's and 1970's, that is how they did adoptions...
The way she keeps putting a hand on her shoulder, etc out of love, is really sweet. You can tell she went through so much trauma for the seperation.
U GOTTA BE KIDDING;SHE CAME OUT WITH THE CLOUT OF FAME AND DIDNT GO RIGHT INTO A HUG THAT WAS SUPER ODD/
@kintarricrawford345 I found that odd too.
You dont know their relationship. You shouldn't assume. Maybe she's not comfortable with hugging yet.@@kintarricrawford345
@@mimimomo4902i think she was scared that she would break down and lose control if she looked at her
i bet they talked about it before
Wow the fact that she didn’t have any other kids and now in her 60th she get to enjoy motherhood, I am so happy for both of them. What a story
What a story indeed.
such a beautiful story of reunited two beautiful women
It's actually very, very common for birth mothers to never have another child.
❤
@@hdb80 Yes. Sadly, I think many times it is due to guilt.
I teared up watching this. This story really hit close to home. I was 16 y/o when I got pregnant...a junior in high school. Some of my immediate family made such a mockery out of me and made my pregnancy a living nightmare. It was one of the worst times of my life. Long story short, I almost went through a similar situation and... I just couldn't go through with it. I remember giving birth to my daughter and...she went way (w/ an adoption agency worker)... I went the other way. I was so broken and depressed. After school... I would slide to the agency to see her, to hold her, to feed her. I would just cry. The worker said to me, " You want her"? I said, " Yes"! Next thing I know, I was walking out with my baby!!! Like the mom in the video... I never had any other children...that situation was so stressful, sad and depressing. I couldn't imagine having a child "out here in the world"... while having others in the home. I wouldn't have seemed fair. I love my one and only child to pieces... she's my pride and joy!!! She's now a successful and intelligent beautiful woman... who's a mom-to-be Jan. 2023. I'm excited about becoming a "GiGi"!!!
Wow, such a beautiful moment that depicts a mother's love and will! May god continue to bless you, your daughter, and grandchild to be 🙏.
That lady at the agency was a truth earth Angel. Congrats to you momma, soon to be GiGi! 🙏🏽
Am glad everything turned out good. A safe delivery to ur daughter.
Mistakes were made, life was lived, God is good.
Congratulations
Congratulations on making a 74yo father tear up right through this video, My girls mean everything to me and I can not imagine life without them around.
She’s SO lucky that her birth mom turned out to be so lovely.
😭 Her adopted mother understood the assignment. Love wins! ✨
Yesss!!!! Glory!!!
I love how you called it an " assignment"$ That what I call it tio💝😇💝
Yes!!!! ☺️

Can we say Bravo to this woman's adoptive parents, her biological mother, and her ageless beauty. If she is 54 or older she looks so much younger!!
She said she had her over 50 years ago so she has to at least be 68
@@thewrongshoes she’s 75 I just googled. They met when Lisa was 54 & she was 72! They both look amazing!
@@HandbagDiva well Lisa knows how well she is going to age - look at her mom
@@thewrongshoes Well.
@@HandbagDiva Wow!! I never imagined that! No way!! 🥲
That primal scream and being on the floor in a fetal position when she realised her daughter was alive and looking for her was the Spirit of God delivering her from guilt and shame. It is wonderful that mum can experience all that she is experiencing with her daughter and grandson; she is glowing because of it. God is good.
Amen!!!
The glory and honor all to Him!!!
Yes!!!
@ Christopher_J Amen!! God will show up and show out!!!
A really strange comment, and strong words for you to make up and throw out there like that
WOW she looks so much like her mom. How beautiful and she was her ONLY child??? Wow… amazing
I’m adopted too. My biological Mother put me up for adoption and changed her mind. She came back to see if she could get me. It was too late. I was gone. My Mother raised me the same way saying that my birth mother loved me, but couldn’t take care of me. I was never mad because I understood.
My birth Mother told my birth Father that she had a miscarriage while he was in the military.
When I was 24 I meant both of them.. My birth Father couldn’t believe it. He didn’t even know I existed. His sister kept telling him to get a paternity test until she saw pictures of me. I look exactly like him.. His sister was crying on the phone when she spoke to me. She said, “I told him to get a paternity test, but Oh my God you look just like him.” He doesn’t need to have a test. We also have a lot of the same mannerisms. I look like he had me by himself. I really could go on and on, but I’ll stop here. :)
S/N - I’m 43 now and I talk to them all the time. I was raised as an only child, but have 3 brothers.
I absolutely love this story! Thanks for sharing. And congratulations on the new additions to your family.
I just found my father and all my siblings, like you he didn't know I existed. I had an open adoption and a mother with issues but as soon as he seen me on zoom he cried and said I was his and he was sorry he didn't know. I love my father although it's only been a year. He calls me every Thursday just to check in. I'm so happy she found her mother 💜
@@ninibaby7496 beautiful story, thanks for sharing. 😊💕❤️
Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. 😊💕❤️
@@LibertyMadison You’re welcome and thank you. :)
I stayed at a home for unwed mothers. Many of the babies were adopted. I decided to kept my baby girl and so glad that I did. She grew up and adopted two beautiful children. My beautiful grand babies.
Because you are a REAL mother & also a great one❤️❤️ Not like this selfish woman!!!!
@@lorrainea.285 whoa! So if she would’ve kept her child and then struggle living on welfare, moving home to home each year because they were always evicted,, trying to feed her child and not able to give her child any opportunity of living a halfway quality life then what they have made her not selfish in your eyes?
This actress wasn't that young, god is good. So many 18 year old keep their children my sister at 16 kept her daughter, my sister walked in the hospital and said god is her father. They say don't judge, it seems selfish to give this child up, the actresses parents must have been embarrassed it's not good, the lady needed her real mother as god planned, I would sympathise if her real mother was mentally ill incapable of looking after her, the daughter is well bought up buying a card, actress please treat your daughter and your grandson lovingly. I don't buy your reasons very selfish.
@@janetoliver4266 Giving her up for adoption was not selfish. At least she gave her life, she could have made another choice to abort but she didn't. Beautiful story I think.
I completely agree!! She is very selfish & it was the daughter who looked for her. She comes off very fake to me & I’ve realized that, that is the way with alot of people like her. When they’re old & grey and has no one & not much to live for they want to cling & “love” the very person that they gave two shits about in the first place!🙄 If it was me I would keep her at a distance & continue living my life!! I hope she DOES NOT expect her “daughter” to wipe her ass when she starts shitting herself!!! She was never there for her so I would NEVERRRR be there for her either!!! Her REAL mother passed away & she already grieved, no reeason to go through a second grieving process for a selfish bitch who gave zero fucks about her!!!
So precious how she keeps touching her daughter.
I love the fact that they both embraced each other after all those years and the daughter finally found that missing link! Phenomenal!!!!!
Her mother aged beautifully and she passed that down to her daughter 💕
Right cause 54!! Black don't crack whew lol

Yeah I ain't even going even lie I'd hit that.
Girl me too🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊
Me too😢
I can't stop 😢 💘
That probably was rough.
The Actress Lynn Moody was the stuff in the 70's. She was so beautiful and talented. This interview with her gorgeous daughter looking for her was sooo lovely and good. This was a great show by Tamron. Lynn is still beautiful. Lisa's adoptive parents did a great job. God bless the wonderful Adoptive parents.
Tamron Hall is positively, absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!
The fact that she never got married or had children after. Wow! Back then, parents thought they were doing the right thing but it left these girls traumatized. I hope they'll have time to really be able to get to know each other. Beautiful story!
@Evered Abraham well, she already signed the agreement to pass all her rights for adoption... and it was 60's anyway.. she didn't know how her daughter was raised (you know, some adoptive parents might be so possessive that they even don't tell their children that they were adopted, and afraid the children will look their biological parents once they know they are adopted), and I believe at some point, she also feared the same feeling of rejection, just like her daughter's story..
@Evered Abraham I don't understand your criticism. Moms don't really have the right to look for a child after they have signed away their own rights. Financial success or celebrity status are the most shallow and selfish of reasons to disrupt the life of a child. It looks to me that everyone tried to put this baby girl first and foremost at the head of this whole process. In the 1960s, there were very real barriers for girls and women who had children and family, and who continued to aspire to higher vocations for financial or creative reasons. I was a baby then, I can't judge. God bless the strong women who live and speak today, and do not judge.
@Evered Abraham you have no clue about adoption processes back then. In fact, it wasn't until the 90's when people starting to sue for the rights to their adoption records. Even then it still took close to or more than a decade for it to happen.
@Evered Abraham Do you know what the adoption process entails 🙄🤣
They have time. Where there is life there’s hope we did see a snippet of her meeting and embracing her grandson. Limitless opportunities this side of the grave. They’re all healing and filling those empty dark places in their hearts.
The show was called "thats my mama" and she was actually watching her biological mom in TV. without knowing, wow what a wonderful story. Glad they both reunited.
I loved That’s My Mama, I think they have episodes on RUclips, but I wanted rerun’s episodes on Tv now.
Wow... I often wonder what it would be like to meet my mom!! Such a blessing
I do wonder if part her reasoning for finding her is because her biological mother was on tv.
I think it's a horribly sad story ...
Wow what a painful yet beautiful story!! Sooo happy for them now ❤️Come on folks, I know you shed some tears too lol
She was watching her mom on a show titled THAT'S MY MAMA . Exact words that she would be telling her friends while watching the show with them had she known it was her mom at the time.
She didn’t marry nor have any other children 🥺… ugh my heart. I’m am so happy this was a positive outcome for them and that she was raised with so much love…. And her bio mom is adorable bringing her cards from her babies… I’m sobbing 🥹🥹
You never know what anyone is going through in their personal lives. She was an accomplished actress and carrying guilt. After all of those years to have her baby girl find her. The joy!!! The love!!! Thank God for this blessing!!!
AMEN
And to hear she never got married. Never had any other children like WOW
AMEN AMEN, SISTER!!!😇🙏👐🤍
@@derrisagreen7764 Now I am 😭😭😭😭😭 again reading your comment. So Touching. Can you imagine how she felt growing and on her journeys in life without her baby girl.
@@derrisagreen7764 Exactly what I said. Imagine if she had aborted that baby. Ugh, I'm so glad she kept it and gave it up for adoption. The adopted parents did so well.
It’s actually so sad, you can tell she punished herself from love because of this. I hope she has tons of it now
I said the exact same thing.
Yeah… when her mom walked in she didn’t even look at her
i was about to say, im sure she punished herself by not marrying and not having another kid because of the guilt she is carrying all these years.
@@youalreadyknow6763
yeah I didn’t see her hug her she buried that for so long but she’s learning.
@@youalreadyknow6763 I'm sure everyone feels a bit uncomfortable in how to navigate all of this.
My goodness, they definitely won the genetics lottery! They are stunningly pretty. I just love her Mom. My husband was adopted. He found his birth family (a cousin) through DNA testing who sent a picture of himself, and there was a clear resemblance. He found his mama and brothers and a sister! It's been such a gift to him. And for my kids, too. It has been such a wonderful blessing.
Great story! Lisa was very blessed to have adoptive parents who nurtured her and loved her unconditionally!
I love it!!! She does look like her mother. I’m glad they found each other.
Me too sis 😢😢😢🙏🙏
The way she keeps reaching out to her daughter. ❤
Just to feel her to see if she's real.
@@winluvwinluv3734 Isn't it just beautiful?
She's a very considerate person. That consideration was shown through giving her up for adoption so that she could have a better life.
@@reformer6666 I have a feeling her parents forced her. her father was a doctor so her family had money but they were ashamed because she was unmarried. to never get to hold her child after giving birth? covered her eyes so she could never see her baby? heartless.
Wow & I’ve watched her in all the shows. So happy for them. But how crazy is that.
It's great that she got this opportunity. Alot of biological mothers are not open to meeting the kids they give up for adoption or abandoned. Even when you're adopted by amazing people at times you still wonder where you come from.
This was definitely a tear jerker. Absolutely beautiful story.
This is such an incredible story! She is such a sweet woman that aged so gracefully and is so deserving of this moment with her beautiful daughter
Very beautiful!
GOD IS GOOD! Such a beautiful story. I use to watch That’s my momma when I was a kid ( telling my age). 😊When life was simple, I wouldn’t trade my childhood for anything.😊
Amen
I like that she said she knew she did the right thing. That’s heartwarming.
Tamron asked her what it was like looking at her and she said she had a release and felt like she didn’t have to feel guilty anymore cause she knows she did the right thing that sounded like a kind of shallow response. I don’t think she should have felt guilty but I mean you would think he responds about seeing her daughter for the first time would be more than that.
@@pashalynn4102 she did the right thing, Lisa grew up in a loving home that fulfilled her life. She wasn’t even interested in finding her birth mother, until the loss of her mother. It was meant for her to find her birth mother now, so they could get to know each other and catch up with her family history & meet her other kinfolk too. Not the time for bitterness, time for rejoicing that they are finally reunited. My sister-in-law just reunited this year with her daughter who she put up for adoption. Her daughter was searching for her for years , a relative saw her on social media. My sister-in-law was guilt driven for the past thirty years about giving her up for adoption and had gone through alot of depression bouts. Her mother made her give up her daughter for adoption, that’s what some parents did back then. Now we are so happy for her and she is planning to see her and the grandchildren in Mississippi. So this is a heartwarming story and I wish Lynn Moody and Lisa the best! ❤️💕😊
@@pashalynn4102 I understand what you are saying though I appreciate her honesty. When you spend your entire life perhaps never being selfless because you didn’t have to sacrifice for spouse and children this may be her natural response. Maybe this new connection will begin to change all that, but even transformation takes time.
@@pashalynn4102 I think she was saying that she turned out well, and the adoptive parents did a good job.
@@pashalynn4102 YES. I caught that too. It was actually surprising and even the daughter suddenly changed her expression a bit while still trying to smile because the actress first expressed how bad she felt all that time. But then, said how she knew how good her adoptive parents would be with her as they wanted a child so bad and were in their 30's, etc. Like wait, what?
Her story is beautiful and the proof that families are NOT just biological connections they are love connections.
The way her mother keeps touching her arm, so much love there ❤️ thank God she had such wonderful parents.
Oh my God she is so right. I lost both parents in the last 2 years. My Dad 2019 my Mom 2020. I'm 64 year old single man. Grieving the loss of my parents has been more difficult than I thought it would be. When she said When you lose your mother for the first time in your adulthood you feel completely alone. I broke down crying when she said that and I don't cry so easily. 💔
Aaaw bless you John. Your parents are now your personal angels watching over you! How blessed you are to have had them into your 60s🙏 I lost both my parents in my 30s and miss them so much still even after 20 years 🙏
I understand that feeling. I lost my mother in January this year. I had been taking care of her for about a decade. Having never married or had kids I've never felt so alone in my life. I miss my mama so much!
❤️🙏🏽
I am so sorry, I know how you feel. My first thought when my Mum died was the heart my heart first beat with is gone. The colours were drained from my world. Then Dad died the next year. I have comfort in John 5:28,29; Revelation 21:3,4. ❤️
I lost my mom 26yrs ago I had no father I was pregnant with my daughter ( only child) I felt like all was lost and when my daughter came I then realized later God gave her to me to fill that empty space inside I still cry still miss her but I found a reason to hold on knowing the family chain that's broken will some day Link again and I have someone that I truly love and who loves me ..... that's the awesomeness of God..I pray you will find comfort in our Lord you will not get over your lost but as time goes by it will become more bearable be of Good courage someone somewhere is praying for you there's no distance in prayer my Brother...♥️💯
That’s the thing, “I didn’t know if she was safe “. This was a great ending, however not all children who are adopted has this wonderful story. Blessings to Lisa and her family.
So true. Thats why my feelings about adoptions are mixed. Some times you really don’t know who you are handing your child over too. I know someone who is a foster/adoptive mom.. she has two children right now that were in the process of being adopted by a couple…. They were staying with her for a while like a year or so I believe… then they were supposed to be adopted… well, now they are back after only about 2/3 months of staying with what was supposed to be their new family. Guess why….. ok I’ll tell you… the husband beat the little boy really bad that his body was bruised up. So now they are back to where they started. Some ppl in this world do not deserve to have kids. Which might be the reason why they can’t. I hope that man is locked up or at the very least was ordered by a judge to get a mental evaluation.
great Story
AMEN AND NOT ALL #BIRTH MOTHERS ARE #LOVING
..I'M A #LIVING WITNESS!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Not all of the children that are kept are safe...
True. There are many nightmare stories as well, and as a veteran teacher I can attest to that.
Tampon Hall does the absolute best interviews. A true professional interviewer. Lisa’s adoptive parents did an amazing job making sure she knew how much she was loved. Such an amazing story, I love how open and honest her birth mother is about what happened. She was not given a choice to keep her daughter. I’m glad they found each other and at the right time, she not only has a daughter but a grandson as well. What a blessing. 🙏🏼❤❤❤
im sorry but tampon hall got me cracking up lol
Yooo kudos to the adopted mama for making sure child knew her biological mama loved her. And kudos to the biological mom for having strength to say I am not strong enough to take care of you
it’s not an ‘adopted mama’ it was her only mother her whole life. Stop crapping on adoption.
The daughter looked childlike again being seated next to her mum. This is such a beautiful story 😍 ❤
It’s like a VC Andrews novel. Beautiful.
Yes you will always be a child in your parents eyes. You will be their baby no matter how old. ❤ beautiful
OMG, Lynn Moody is freaking beautiful. And her daughter looks just like her. Soo glad they found each other. Look at God, a joyous reunion.
Yes I notice this with a lot of women who never married .. they stay beautiful in shape and in tact. Pretty sure marriage and a bunch of kids wouldn’t have her looking like she does now.

Lynne Moody was gorgeous in her day. I remember her from a lot of classic tv shows!! ❤❤❤
I am 55, and I know this is way too much personal information to put out in the internet world, but I wanted to say, stories like this really touch my heart. I don't k ow my birth mom. I've looked, and I've tried to find her,but I haven't had any success. To those that get the chance to be reunited, my heart is happy for you. 🕊️♥️🕊️
Have you taken an Ancestry DNA test yet? I found my maternal Grandma’s long lost sister 9 month’s ago (my grandma is 79 year’s old & was 4 year’s old last they seen each other). Their reunion was absolutely beautiful & the experience has been wild. If you have done an ancestry DNA test & need help message me or if you would like to simply talk about doing a test through a ancestry site & I can help you. Your story just really touched me & I am really good with genealogy & love to help people. I wish you all the luck in the world.
Love this story. After my adopted parents passed, I searched for decades & finally found my natural mother when I was in my sixties & she was 94. To see someone you look like & who has so many similar traits is healing to the soul. Thank you for sharing❤️🙏🏼
You're very lucky 2have found her still alive due to the years/yalls ages... what a blessing
Hi 👋 Valerie, can I speak with you for a moment?
Hi Valerie, can we please talk on Email. ✉️
why did you need healing?
I remember my mother suggesting to me when I was a child one day as school recess was approaching "Why don't you spend the summer with your father?" At the time I recall looking at her askance as if to say "Why would I want to do that?" Compared to other children, my response may have seemed strange. My parents at the time were separated. However, I did see my father quite frequently on many weekends. In any case, my mother's suggestion won out and I began to really enjoy summers with my father. ( He was living in NYC and I was living in New Jersey.) Unfortunately, I lost my father when I was eleven. In any case, I cherish the time I had with him and realize I would have no memory of my father's personality or who he was had I NOT spent that time with him. I can remember mourning the loss of my father. Mourning never feels comfortable but I cannot imagine losing a parent and not feeling ANYTHING. It makes me think of the adage : Better to have lost in love than never to have loved at all!!
I couldn't hold back the tear, I watched her on TV when I was a kid too. So happy for them.
Me either the tears just flowed🥰
This is one of the most amazing stories that I have ever heard! Thank God for their reunion and healing 🙏🏾
That's so traumatizing what they did to her birth mother 😪 I'm so glad they reunited, they are truly twins 💗 💖

@@jd6331 ?
@@jd6331 did you watch the video?
Lisa even sounds like Lynne when she speaks. The cadence and the pitch. What a beautiful blessing.
They covered her eyes. How very cruel. I can’t imagine how haunting that would be to not even be able to see this child you carried and loved. So blessed to have been reunited.♥️
That is call abuse
I would NEVER allow hospital staff to cover my eyes...I would have held her and kissed her then said goodbye.
That was 50 ish years ago. But now, I'm sure that won't even happen 😂
Back then, that is how they handled adoptions! Carrying a baby for 9 months, attaches you to your baby! Why would they ever think that not seeing your baby wouldn't?
It was harsh and in-human treatment!
Which one is it they cover her eyes or was that last time she saw her child go back and listen carefully 🤔
Too many stories of adoption agencies manipulating single mothers to sell their babies for thousands. Happened to my mother as well! Over crowding in and the conditions the kids are in are sick!! So happy to hear a reunited story💕 the agencies with hold record so this is very rare🙌🏾
Her father put her in the home to have the child.
Children are a blessing no matter what age you have them. I’m glad they found each other ❤
she was watching a show called “that’s my mama” and it really was her mama. wow!
"That's my Mama!" Only God can do such greatness.
You know that was God! That is totally not a coincidence! He just keeps doing things we can't even imagine or wrap our head around!
Won't He do it 👏🏽🙌🏽💞🤗❓‼️
Our God is Awesome, Forever!!!😇😇😇
Yesssss
The Irony.
I am crying at how beautiful this journey is for both ladies. I was adopted when I was 4 days old. I've always known, and have kept the narrative in my own head that my birth mom probably wasn't in a position to care for me properly and that was why she gave me up for adoption. I'm turning 45 this year. Seeing this video brings me back hope that I might have some closure soon. I don't know if my birth mom is still alive or not. I have all the same reservations as Lisa did. But I have hope again.
When she said "when you lose your mother it feels like you're all alone", I'm watching this at work on my break and when I heard those words I literally started tearing up because I lost my biological mother 6 years ago and I'm only 27 still learning about life on my own and it just hurts knowing I have to grow up without my mother 😢
@Alexia Dixon if u every need to talk or need a shoulder to cry on, reach out bcuz I totally understand, I lost my mom ten years ago and I know the feelings.
Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear you lost your mom especially at that tender age 🥺 I lost my mom back in April and she is so right. I know I’ve been feeling so lonely I miss calling my mom and telling her everything or just calling to say hey going over to her house daily. It’s the worst pain to experience.
Me too at 15 am 36 never the same it changed me
Sorry for your loss
The part about feeling like an orphan (I’m 28) is so true..life just doesn’t feel the same..my mom died in 2020 so still kinda fresh for me
Blessings delayed but not denied. Two beautiful women AND A GRANDSON!
Amen
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!!!!!!😇🙏
How true. The Lord has truly blessed them!
'Blessing delayed but not denied' I love that !
Stories like this make me so very grateful that we adopted our daughter 35 years ago in a very open adoption. It was still pretty uncommon. Neither my daughter nor her bio mom ever had to wonder. Her 1/2 sister was even in her wedding party & her bio mom’s husband walked me & bio mom down the aisle. Contact was always at my daughter’s initiation & comfort level & everything has always gone well. Both my son-in-law & bio mom’s hubby are always amazed & amused to see all the similarities; facial expressions, hand movements, vocal similarities, the way they walk, schooling & study habits, & even similarities in handwriting! Nature is just as strong as nurture in so many ways! She’s been with us since the moment she was born.
It's crazy how the practice of just leaving your child behind was such an accepted practice and actually encouraged and then no one talked about it😟 So sad. This is a beautiful ending💓
O wow. The way she hugged and kissed her grandson you could tell it was cathartic. It’s like she wanted to absorb him. Beautiful story
Because now she’s old, dried up & grey and has no one, but when she was young & wanted to live her best life having one night stands she didn’t give two shits about her child. Everyone in the comments oooohing & awwwwing & getting emotional🙄 This woman is selfish AF!! She was NEVER there for her child and NEVER looked for her!!! or gave a fuck!! She better don’t look to her “daughter” to take care of her as she ages because as for me, I would let her ass rot in a nursing home!!! and that’s on EVERY THING I OWN!!!!
@@lorrainea.285 she had a one night stand. Meaning one time not numerous times. Thank God she not your mother. Therefore, you do not have to take care of her if she needs some help while ageing.
@@lorrainea.285 Females get IMPREGNATED you know 👀 which means they can’t do it themselves. It took the male who wanted to -- and -- in her to procreate that child that only she was the one who had to deal with the consequence of. You think she didn’t tell him he got her pregnant? Now that’s who actually went on with their lives fr so direct your anger at him please and thank you ma’am! Her parents made that decision for her because she was 18 which is still a fg teenager, you Black male worshipper you! So much energy for her and none for him!
@Lorraine A Her mother actually did her a huge favor! Instead of aborting her…..she gave her life! No greater love! ❤️❤️❤️. She allowed her to be adopted by a wonderful family that loved her and gave her a beautiful life! It’s beautiful that they were able to reconnect! I am in tears….what a beautiful story! Thank you Tamron you did it again!!!
Wonder why her parents did not take the baby.
I heard this story a few months ago. Society was so cruel to unwed mothers in that era.So happy that Lisa and Lynn found each other at last. What a blessing! ❤🙏🏾❤
Don't blame it on society. Blame it ok n try he parents who sent her away and forced her to give up her bsby.
@@lettiegrant9447 what???
And also because she was 14 and not 18 when she had her daughter. She “revised” her history.
Her Family was just as cruel for making her throw that baby away.
@@rc6449wow, just wow! I thought i heard the age of 14 last year. Always the actress, isn't she?
She's so spot on about how confusing it is to loose your mother. My story is very similar to hers. I found my birthmother more than 20 years ago and my birthfather through DNA last year!
😮sincere or for show? She didn't want to be found😮
What a blessing that one night stand was, a beautiful creation of a perfect little baby girl. I think the mother did the best thing she knew for the child at the time. What a success story for them to be reunited.
What a wonderful story. I cried through the whole clip. I loved how Lynn constantly reached over to touch Lisa. Almost like she wanted to make sure she never lost her again.
😢😢😢😢😢
I'm with you on this. I was near on the ground in a fetal position myself after this 😭😭😭 Love this story!
It’s more than a whole clip because it’s so emotional. I’m so happy for them. This is what love ❤️ is all about.
Wow. Lynne Moody has aged beautifully and so has her daughter. I am so glad she found her mom. God continue to bless this family with many, many more great years together.
Amen
Hello JoAnn 👋 That's nice 😇 Amen God is great 🙏 So JoAnn how are you doing ?
OMG! This had me balling my eyes out!😭😭😭 so sweet!! I loooved that they shared this!
What an incredible story. As a parent you always have some guilt. But I can’t imagine having to have that guilt and not knowing if your child is good or not. What a nightmare. I’m happy that I as a 19 year old kept my baby boy and had the support from my parents. Now my son is 19 himself ❤
You can see that she's still in disbelief that her life is so perfect now. The peace and happiness in her eyes is super priceless. I'm happy for them and their family
When they showed that picture of her Mom when she was young it gave me chills…..Looks just like her daughter!
This is a fantastic story?
No hi no
Yes
Yea, then when she walked out she looked like a white woman. But she looked more black when she was on the show, looked just like her daughter
@@dee27206 White woman? What you talkin bout Willis?
I have never seen Tamron’s show but I love how emotional she is during this interview I mean how can you not be emotional about this it’s incredible but you can see she has true emotion and she’s not just a typical talk show host! But WOW what a great show and a great episode I can’t stop crying!
That was wonderful. I've never watched Tamron Hall before, and I loved how good she was at hosting this. These are beautiful people, and it was so heartwarming, it made me cry. So glad for them that this "ending" was a happy one, which is really a beginning. God bless them - He has.
Just crying, I’m so happy she found her birth mother whose her twin. Beautiful reunion
Amen!
I concur 100%
God bless 💕 ✝
Stay safe
Not everyone who’s adopted is adopted with good intentions. That lady is blessed to have been adopted by good loving people. I was raised by very abusive, dysfunctional people who refused to tell me anything about my real parents.
I'm so sorry. I hope the abuse has stopped and you're free from them. Do you think it is possible you were kidnapped? Did you ever find your bio parents?
Prayers to you.
I am very sorry 😢 Your not alone many people shouldn’t adopt.. I pray your heart is healing ❤️🩹
@@scriabina Agreed many kids are kidnapped 💔Please do a Dna 🧬
I feel for you with this my mother as well was in the fostor care system and she too was adopted by POS individuals who abused her. I'm sorry you had to go through this.
I'm crying like a baby. What a beautiful story. I really needed that today 🙂
What a good son, too. Taking care of his mom.
Tamron looks so young. I can't believe she is 51 and had a baby at 49. She is a true inspiration for career women who may feel that life is passing them by.
She really truly is
Black don’t crack
It’s amazing
yes
She's absolutely stunning I haven't watched the show this is my first time but I am definitely going to start recording it because it seems very interesting can't wait
I love that Tamron shows her emotions, it is nice to see a host really connect. I have been a fan since MSNBC and could not wait to turn on my tv and see the intelligent, beautiful & stylish lady rocking the short hair. Many years later it is so nice to see her with her own show, well deserved!
And now that Tamron has a child of her own, she can really relate.
@@lindamorton9464 so true! Hits different when you’re a mom and can relate:
I watched her via Deadline
Tameron is always crying 😂, but you’re right she has really beautiful heart and I think she might be an empath so she really feels and connects with peoples pain. She’s really a beautiful person inside and out.
And they let her go for that other lady to take her spot and now she’s thriving as a host of her very own show. That’s why faith is important. We’d be surprised to learn the outstanding blessings God has in store for us that we just can’t see!
This is an amazing life story, should be made into a film. Lots of people Will be able to indentify with life story. Just wanted to point out that this lady was adopted by a true amazing couple..lot of respect to the couple
I hope they make a movie out of it
What. Beautiful story from begining to end from how the adoptive parents assuring her that her biological Mama loved her to actually meeting in her 💕💕💕
I just LOVE how Lynn just stares at her daughter in awe, with so much adoration, she stares at her and touches her arm like she's still trying to process the fact that this is HER daughter finally sitting in front of her 🥲🥲🥲😍😍😍🥰🥰
I noticed that too. So much love between them.
I noticed that too, so touching 😢

🎉see , now imagine if she were to have an.abortion, she wouldn't be able to have this happiness, which.is why abortions need to be illegal!! you don't need to kill your baby , if you.ard not ready to be a parent , there are plenty of women who are wanting to adopt, be a blessing to them all lives are blessings, so don't kill by abortions! n
Back in the 60's it was such a traumatic process. My husband was adopted in 1966. His birth mother never had any other children and she had a lot of problems with depression after living in the maternity home and giving him up for adoption. They treated the pregnant girls horribly and they had it drilled into them that they could never look for their child. This also impacted the adopted child because they were told that they couldn't look either and records were sealed until about 20 years ago. It was very emotionally traumatic for my husband to try to get information. He really needed to meet his bio mom and hear that he was wanted and loved by her. He got that opportunity and it helped a lot. People think that adoption is all wonderful, but do not understand how much it hurts for many of the adopted children and parents.
Such truth. That’s why we must not allow politicians to dictate women’s reproductive health. It’s our body, our choice.
Oh, boohoo, you do realize most parents that give away their kids throw them away and makes it clear, right?
At least there’s an opportunity of finding a good and loving home. Im sure there are horror stories as well as good stories.
The baby has no choice and I can’t imagine the guilt a mother has after aborting her baby, this woman felt guilt giving her baby up.
@@NYD666 his cousin got that reception. They both said they didn't want him then and they didn't want him now. He ended up dying of a drug overdose. A significant number of adopted children never feel wanted or accepted. My husband's cousin was one of those. My husband's bio-mom never recovered from giving him up and my husband has spent his life trying to be good enough. So many times he has wished that he had never been born.
I wish this family all of the happiness in the world in the time they have together now.
This was truly beautiful! Thank you for sharing this moment!
I can't imagine how painful that was for her to have her eyes covered so that she couldn't see her baby. I am glad that they have been reunited. This made me cry
Ive had my eyes closed by someone before. It's not painful at all. I even used a blindfold once and i didn't feel pain at all. 🤔
@@mashamendez2012 please tell me you aren’t being serious rn
@@mashamendez2012 huh?!?
This has God's handprints all over it! The fact that he blessed her mom to be on a show called "Hey, that's my Mama!" and her daughter watched her and found her years later is his sense of humor! 👏🏽🙏🏽
AMEN
Amen I agree! 🙏🏽🙌🏽💯🥰💓
The show is actually called "That's my Mama". It truly was one of the best african american sitcoms of it's time. I watched episodes with my parents and extended family, and am reeling that Lynn Moody had a child back then. Amazing how it's such a full-circle that has been completed in her life. Continued blessings to Lynn, Lisa and their family.
Divine Intervention!
@@anopeninvitationwithsheila4348 is
the impact of being a mom is so magical and beautifully felt. you feel and breath your kids if your around them or not ❤ #newmom
That was so very heartwarming!! When they had said she had seen her mom on TV many times, I stopped the video to look at Lisa.. and Lynne popped in my head.. it was my surprise that I was right!! What a blessing to see them reunited.
Wishing Lynne, Lisa and their family much love. Happy Tears!!
I love how the mother is giving such comforting energy. This was beautiful.
That part 🎯
What a beautiful and yet relatable story! In October 2021, I found my birth father through help of DNA. I never knew my mother either, but when Lisa talks about someone who looks like me, My father and I could pass for twins! His first words to me were “Yep, you look like me”. Had he known I existed, I would have had an integral part in my father’s life. Unfortunately my father passed away a week after we met. The first time I met him was also the last time I saw him alive. I have gained 1/2 brother’s and sisters, who have been open, warm and welcoming. They tell me that I look the most like my dad than anyone in the family. Thanks Lisa and Lynn for sharing your touching story!
That is so tragic! I’m so sorry. I am glad that you found brothers and sisters to connect to.
I'm happy and sad about your experience. Just in time, you were sent by God into his life.
MY biological mother passed about 3 years after I met her.
LOVE AND RESPECT
My condolences to you and your family. I am happy to hear you were connected before his passing.
Omg...they are gorgeous. Thank God for keeping them throughout the years🙌🏽💐
Amen , beautiful story indeed
It's beautiful how she can't stop touching her. I hope they get many years to love each other
“That’s my momma”, that’s pretty ironic. ❤️ So happy they are reunited again. The mom has such a youthful look! Much blessings to this family!
It's the exact opposite of ironic.
@@kint5ugee no it's not 🤦🏽♀️
I remember her as a kid. Always thought she was stunning back then. she aged well.
@@crystanick2697 It is ironic what's wrong with you
Beautiful women with the beautiful ending
You can tell mum is still traumatised by what she went through, but it’s so heart-warming to see a happy ending.
This popped up again for me. Every-time I watch it, it brings me so much joy.
Thanks for sharing and for all you do to serve others Tamron Hall & Show!!
That"s a BEAUTIFUL TRUE STORY!! Thank You for sharing your WONDERFUL Story of HOPE and LOVE.
I was adopted in 1962 and found my birth parents when I was 32 through a series of dreams I had for over a year. My birth parents were so young that they felt like they were more like my big brother and sister …we were so much alike. I feel like I had 4 parents. Two who got my genetics from and two who raised and made me into the woman I am today. I love them all.
May I ask what dreams?
Cool story, would also love to hear about what dreams led you to them. Sounds like a spiritual bond.
