    I'm a haffu who was blessed to be raised by my American dad and Japanese mom. It's very difficult for ppl who are not to understand the deep questioning we face of how difficult for us as children to not be considered not enough of one ethnicity or the other. Some family members have treated us as outsiders or not accept us as part of "their " family.

    I wonder if my grandfather had a child somewhere in the South Pacific. When he died in 1981, (I was 16) my grandmother found an old picture of an Asian woman. He was in the South Pacific during World War II.

      Having watched many videos on this channel and others, I have to the conclusion that all the fathers had been extremely irresponsible. Because they did not use contraception methods, they should have followed up. Kudos to those who tried against all odds.

    Mary Jean's case was very interesting to work. Initially she DNA tested with MyHeritage, after MH donated 40 DNA kits to Father Founded. She had a very high DNA match from their database, sharing 24% of the same DNA with a man who was in the US. He responded to the message Geoffrey Tayag sent him and then I was able to email him. Her half-brother was born in the Philippines and adopted by an Air Force officer and his family, they most likely share the same mother. He too is searching for his birth parents who are both Filipino.

    I don't understand how anyone could not love a child just because they aren't a blood relative. My aunt who passed away last year adopted a girl from India and our family always treated her as if she's a part of the family because she was and she wasn't treated like an outsider. Just imagine where we would all be if God rejected all of us like some people do to others. Even though I'm not searching for a parent I want to thank you both for all of your hard work, dedication and love that you do for strangers to reunite families. You both and all others like you are truly angels. God bless you all.

    These is maybe one of the reasons why the commanding general of the Armed Forces of the Philippines himself a descendant of an American serviceman placed several restrictions inside Filipino military camps housing US military personel when they are here for exercises.
    No going out when not on exercise or patrol with Filipino troops.
    No intoxicating/alcohol drinks inside the camps.
    While enterprising Filipinos are allowed to rent to to set up temporary shops inside those camps, they are made to sign MOA
    that no intoxicating/alcohol beverages maybe sold.
    Maintaining sanitation and interaction with the female staff of these shops is limited like no seating with the american GI's, no unncessary display of affection between the female staff and the american customers, no staff is allowed to go out with the American GI',s

And she really should know her American family. She can only be complete when the family connections are complete. But to her credit, I am sure she is grateful just to have found him...my prayer now is for a happy reunion.

    I wish these men would realize when they abandon their children, the lifelong damage it causes them!! It’s truly evil how many men just make the babies and leave! Even if they don’t want the mother… for Gods sake be there for the child! This world is so narcissistic and people are so self centered! Where is the compassion?! So many damaged children and adults because of their fathers abandoning them!!! They WILL be accountable to God when they die for the pain and suffering they caused their children! God puts much accountability on fathers!
    Women can be just as evil! But psychologically, it seems way worse when its the father
    This woman is extremely beautiful and seems to be so kind and sensitive. I’m praying for her right now that the Lord Jesus Christ touches and heals her heart and that she realizes how valuable she is in her REAL Fathers eyes…. GOD!🙏🏻💕✝

    If the American military made their men more accountable and involved proper moral standards in their service men a lot of these abandoned children would have had better lives.the standard of morality in soldiers is directly connected to their professional behaviour as not only soldiers but ambassadors and examples of their nations people.not only that but directly effects in a destructive effect on the lives of the nation's people they are serving in.service means serving your nation in a fit and proper manner,,not self serving without moral conviction.

    This is so much better. You should use Leah more, have her do the voice-overs and interviews, it feels less paternalistic*. You don't have the voice for it Blair, you try too hard to sound oh-so sensitive and it just turns into cloying sentimentality. Allow your audience to empathise without getting in the way. I guarantee, the more you put yourself on the margins of these videos, rather than front and center with the selfie stick and all over the narration, the more effective they will be. The title and the voice over at 13:31 is simpy over-egging the pudding, use one or the other (I'd go for the title) but not both. And lose the adjectives and the superlatives, it should just say "That very evening", or something like that--allow the story to unfold itself, it's pretty obvious what's happening and it's more effective to allow her to be the protagonist of her own story.
    * I've been trying to put my finger on it and this is the problem Blair, try as you might you can't escape the taint of the 'White Man's Burden' perspective on the very valid issues you address on your channel. This is why it immediately feels better when Leah is the interlocutor rather than you. Sorry mate, you should stick to logistics, camera, sound and editing! I bet you'd get much better traction, too.
