When "The Real" ladies heard that one of their fans had never met her father, they knew they had to help. Grab a box of tissues and watch this tearful reunion!
Oh and for anyone still interested in this story. Jodie took a trip to New Jersey where her daddy and his family live. She made the plans to be there for his 60th birthday. She crocheted him a beautiful Afghan for his birthday. She met her Gramma and uncles and aunts and cousins and her older and younger brother. She was thrilled and had a wonderful trip. There are plans in the works to go up again this next Spring vacation and take his grandkids up so he can meet them.
Oh and BTW my father was hit by a car in the 90's and suffers from a traumatic brain injury. When he woke up from his coma he didnt even know his own name much less that he had a daughter out there. It took him years to get the memories back. People are just to judgemental nowadays!
This is my story and first of all I am so glad I got to meet my father. Second of all they are slightly incorrect my mother DID give information to my father when she moved and they were in contact until I was 6 months old. My mother sent photos of me to my dad until they started being returned back to her. My father had been discharged from the military and moved leaving no forwarding address. My mom is an absolutely AMAZING woman who never badmouthed my dad and even offered to help me find him repeatedly over the years I always refused. I think it is pretty rude for people to be making assumptions and calling my mother names without knowing ANYTHING about my story.
This is the most beautiful thing i've seen all day. I pray the love and completeness your family has found never goes away. Try not to pay attention to rudeness and enjoy your moments and all the wonderful memories you will create with your father.God bless you and keep your family happy and together.😇
Jodie Smith I am elated Jodie that you met your Father! Thanks for setting the record straight. I wish you well and hope you build MANY memories with him.
I love how Tamera and A had real human responses to this. I love everyone but they were highlighted to me bc they both realized the weight of this moment! how beautiful it is to find your blood with no drama too! God bless them
Awwwwww❤️🙏🏾Y’all continue to pray and have the faith that one day it will happen with God all things are possible nothing is too hard for God 🙏🏾God bless you both I also pray that you guys find your dads God bless❤️🙏🏾
Hello I am Jodie's mother and it is true, Jodie's husband walked out on her and her 3 children. I live with them and Marcus Martin you hit the nail on the head, he was a coward and a cheat and a dog.
@larya, that's horrible - she's lucky she has such a good mother to be there for her - thank you for your service & for being there for your daughter!!!# I hope things work out better going forward!!!
HAPPY REUNION! YUP.....Sometimes we don't like life's HANDING us lemons to make lemons. It's too much. Yes sugar helps and sweetens life's bitter demands and concocted a special treat. A reunion despite the years of lemons....now for the good stuff!
Ikr? I didn't even realize that was Porsha until I scrolled to the comment section. She looked so different (2 me) then she did the last time I watched the RHOA! And, Guuurrrrlll-you already know how loud and obnoxious they are on there!!!!
The best for you to do is to get a DNA kit and hopefully someone related to your dad will come up as a match. This happened to me. I had a 1st cousin match to someone I did not know. I contacted her and going back and forth it turns out my 1 uncle told his brother and son a long time ago that he had a daughter somewhere but did not know how to locate her. When my cousin told me this, we knew right away she was his sister! We just met her this 30th of June and I told her afterwards it seemed like she always belonged and was always a part of the family. She had 2 other sisters but sadly my uncle passed away a while back so she will never be able to meet him. She just turned 60 and I know this was the best present she ever had. She and her brother talk on the person like every other day. I told her that he is making up for lost time. He also took the test to verify that she was his sister.
OUTSTANDING, If we spent more time doing this, this is a true blessing. I will never know my dad, so I am grateful fro her to have him back in her life.
Ohhhhhh, my heart... What a beautiful story. I am a genealogist for 25 years now and along the way I have connect people with their family members and it's just such a fantastic feeling. Love is amazing because you can see it's there even though this father and daughter have never met but they love each other fiercely. It's warms my heart. Congratulations!
I'm 21 years old and I would love to even just get a picture of my dad to see what he looks like not a day goes by that I don't think about how it would be if I had my dad in my life🤞🏻 I know god will find the right time..🙏🏼 god bless you guys💚
The real Ladies CONSTANTLY make people cry. I cannot watch the show without crying daily. Love you all ladies and may God continue to bless you in your lives and careers!
u r a good mother..n what i respect most is u hv a beautiful heart; no grudges, no blame game, very positive n hv best at heart no matter what..people who harbour ill feelings will only attract negativity...u teach us positivity..bless u lady..luv fr me
This brother looks so familiar to me as in having met before. This is a beautiful story and thanks for helping us all with this invincible display of love conquering all.
That's was beautiful. I'm over crying and this was three years ago. You don't have to explain nothing. People can kick rocks. I'm so glad they found each other. Look at God. Won't he do it.?
I'm so encouraged & happy for Jody being reunited with her father. I have a baby brother I've never met. Our mother passed away 22 years ago & everyone else that would have any info is deceased. This give me hope. Shedding years of joy for Jody. 😟😢😌🙌
Wow. . .this is beautiful to see. I rejoice with her. . . My dad died a year ago on 11/19/15. We never really got to this point so it's really excited to see the love. I'm one of six (4 women) but God is good. . .I love this
I am so in love with this video. I pray for my memories for Jodie and her family. May God keep you all together in love and make memories to last a lifetime. Blessings to you all!
Nice work Ladies...please don't quit. On this rock more and more we see the effects of war, poverty, rascism and heartache. Somebody gotta pick us up right? By tje way - l'm a 63 yrs. Old, white, retired Canadian Soldier. My body is broken to be sure, but l refuse to let my spirit die; because of folks like YOU!
my my so much tears watching this but truly God is in control here no matter what happens in the pass or what anyone has to say this is your time mom ,daughter and father to make it right
I am weak. 😂 i said the same thing. Dang her daddy look Good. And then loni said it. / then tamera forgot what she had to do. Lol. Aww but I love this reunion
It is Beautiful how open and forgiving they obviously are as people. My dad is out and I could build a relationship, but I just have no desire in me to do so ..for good reason 😌
Father dugther always very close relationship father love dugther dugther love father more then mother am father some reason long time cant meet dugther now come day me go meet my dugther 😓 my wife all dugther love father 😘😘😘
Omds! I love Tamera! 😂 Loni: Tamera tell her what she gotta to do. Tamera: What does she have to do? Oh.. Yes 😂😂😂 She was so caught up in the moment, bless her💙
Wow, that was soooooo beautiful. I too have been looking for any family member, especially my parents. I pray before I leave this earth I get to experience some of that what she has. You women are amazing.
I hope this moment come to me one of these days with this you to send programs and TV I have the same problem as his dad in 1978 her name is Christina Amarillo Texas my problem was I was illegal that was my biggest problem I love you story and there was a beautiful I live in Odessa TX now ,thanks to all of you
I wonder why her mom just up and left and didn't give him any information on there whereabouts. I just wish there was more info because unless he was abusive or something, it appears this young lady has suffered the loss of growing up without a father for no reason. It's great that they have finally met but all of those years you can't get back smh.
Spoken Rhythmz this is my story and my mother didn't just leave without giving him information, they got it just slightly wrong. My parents were in contact until I was 6 months old when my father moved and left no forwarding address. He was involved in a hit and run when I was about 11 years old, was in a coma for several months and didn't even know his own name when he woke up. He started looking for me as soon as he remembered details about my mother that was useful in finding me.
she stated above that she left info.with him but the drugs meaning streetlife made him irresponsible and communication halted... Leave these people reunion alone and get somebody like me to love you...holla
The fact that he was looking for her too is a blessing!
Not alot of fathers would want to be in there child's life
NBA Freak b

Beautiful happy reunion. Much love to you all.
I am so happy that she has gotten to know more of her extended family,...
Thank you.
💕💕💕
So... how exactly is this show going to compensate me for all the tears that I have lost?
lol...r u somali?
Serlom Cole Yeah, you?
+Ifrah Leyla no wonder u gorgeous nope me biracial
Serlom Cole
Ifrah Leyla hehehehehe
Oh and BTW my father was hit by a car in the 90's and suffers from a traumatic brain injury. When he woke up from his coma he didnt even know his own name much less that he had a daughter out there. It took him years to get the memories back. People are just to judgemental nowadays!
girl that is your fault why are you letting the Real tell half the story??
they literally asked you what stopped you from seeing him. you could've just said this.
Jodie Smith That was the accident? OMG😩😩😩He can still walk, talk, and remember! WON'T HE DO IT❓❓
Jodie Smith ..You don't have to keep explaining yourself to these ppl some of them are the most ignorant ppl... glad everything worked out God Bless!
Jodie Smith dont focus on the negative focus on the positive
This is my story and first of all I am so glad I got to meet my father.

I'm so happy for you, and a bit jealous (LOL). cherish all the moments you will have for the rest of your lives. God bless you
Jodie Hagman girl that is expected you know the truth and that's all that matters. I wish u and daddy all the best :)
This is the most beautiful thing i've seen all day. I pray the love and completeness your family has found never goes away. Try not to pay attention to rudeness and enjoy your moments and all the wonderful memories you will create with your father.God bless you and keep your family happy and together.😇
I'm happy for you and your family!
Jodie Smith I am elated Jodie that you met your Father! Thanks for setting the record straight. I wish you well and hope you build MANY memories with him.
Y'all could've at least warned me before you started cutting all these onions. 😢😭😭

It's in the description!!
Amelia Lagna I see nothing about onions in the description.
+gigglyfitzgirl bruh im dead

So glad they found each other! Beautiful story! I love seeing people reunited!
I love how Tamera and A had real human responses to this. I love everyone but they were highlighted to me bc they both realized the weight of this moment! how beautiful it is to find your blood with no drama too! God bless them
I wish my dad would pop up out of nowhere.
Can y'all stop making me cry please! I'd really appreciate it! 😭
I wish my dad was looking for me so i could meet him
Same
Awwwwww❤️🙏🏾Y’all continue to pray and have the faith that one day it will happen with God all things are possible nothing is too hard for God 🙏🏾God bless you both I also pray that you guys find your dads God bless❤️🙏🏾

She raised a beautiful daughter. This is so touching! God bless you Jodie, momma for trying your best and poppa too! Enjoy each other! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is so touching I can't find words to explain.
her husband walked out on her.....what a coward
He didn't actually. His daughter just came on the comments to clear everything up. The show left out some details.
Hello I am Jodie's mother and it is true, Jodie's husband walked out on her and her 3 children. I live with them and Marcus Martin you hit the nail on the head, he was a coward and a cheat and a dog.
Iarya1957 ..its okay she is a beautiful woman maybe it's a blessing.. after she heals she will just fine..
@larya, that's horrible - she's lucky she has such a good mother to be there for her - thank you for your service & for being there for your daughter!!!# I hope things work out better going forward!!!
Iarya1957 take it as a blessing.
As a kid growing up I never knew my father he hauled ass soon as I was born but long story short I can relate to this very emotional moment
Aww! You're still young so here's hoping time will make him wiser, and finds you in a good place to receive him when he does reach out! :)
Same here
God takes something to give you something greater, so much love xx
Now this is what its about. More shows like this!
can I just say how BEAUTIFUL everyone looks here? a beautiful moment with gorgeous people :)
HAPPY REUNION!
YUP.....Sometimes we don't like life's HANDING us lemons to make lemons. It's too much.
Yes sugar helps and sweetens life's bitter demands and concocted a special treat.
A reunion despite the years of lemons....now for the good stuff!
God bless them both
Such a beautiful moment!!! I also think Porcha would be a great host along with the rest of the girls.
Thank you to the real for reuniting them you all are amazing women!
This is the most quiet I heard Porsha talk. Ugg and there goes Loni hitting on the male guest again😂
I agree Porsha this time had very nice moments and very professionally asked questions, I was impressed
Ikr? I didn't even realize that was Porsha until I scrolled to the comment section. She looked so different (2 me) then she did the last time I watched the RHOA! And, Guuurrrrlll-you already know how loud and obnoxious they are on there!!!!
More More More of these please!!!!
Your beautiful your lost hubby u gaimed daddy beautiful yrs together an Gramma God blessings

Kuw Gamer
You ladies were so sweet to bring them together.
Awww....I wish I had that. My father was never there. So beautiful!
I couldn't imagine being without my two girls that long, this is awesome 😊
A father holds his children in his heart for a lifetime.
I wish I knew my dad!
I also wonder if I have any siblings.
I’m 50 now!
I’m sure I’ll never know!
So I’ll live through this wonderful reunion!💕
The best for you to do is to get a DNA kit and hopefully someone related to your dad will come up as a match. This happened to me. I had a 1st cousin match to someone I did not know.
