I was born and adopted in 1964 (UK). I met my birth mother in 1995, I felt very close to her she said were more alike than the two sons she had post my birth. Sadly I am no longer in contact with her. My birth father was killed two years after my birth. I had a good upbringing with a loving family, so i should be thankful for that. I have my own family now, with three lovely kids.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Good young woman.

Im so happy for her, Now, she has 3 families.

Yup your so awesome Samantha I'm happy for you you r going to have so many nice Christmas new years eve. You go girl. 🙏

I am a birth mother. Sorry you never met your birth mom. but kudos to your parents for bringing you up so open about it. I got to meet my birth daughter when she turned 25. She had to wait till then due to a law in her state. Her parents didn't want to give her access which is fine, they are her parents. What I am rrally so happy to see is such loving and supportive parents but how openly and lovingly you were accepted. Everybody makes decisions that, in hindsight, weren't the best. Its how we deal with the consequences..... She was my first baby and I was just shy of 20 when she was born. I was in college and offered the "solution" many times. I'm glad I had a faith that would not allow me to do that. (Thanks to my parents) Best wishes to you for many many years of happiness with your 1/2 siblings

What a great story, Samantha. I am also adopted and started searching for my birth parents. It wasn't that I felt that I missed out growing up. Like you, I just wanted to complete the circle. I found them and they were still together. They are wonderful people and I am so lucky to have also met wonderful aunts and uncles and cousins. My life is so much richer than before. Thanks for sharing your story. I didn't think I would get as emotional as I did watching it.

I just want to thank you Samantha for this beautiful story. I am on the search. My birth Mum came from the USA to give birth to me and arrange for my adoption in the UK 69 years ago. Amazing courage. The records show my birth Dad is also from Charlotte, USA. I have found her but like you she predeceased my discovery; however there is half brother, who my daughter says looks just like me, but American size rather than UK! Greatly blessed with my adoptive Dad and Mum. But there is as you so clearly express it a desire to close the circle, and see who else might look like, be like me, to find my birth Dad and more likely his extended family. Thank you for your courage and sensitivity in telling your special and lovely story

Very beautiful. What a story ❤🙏🫶🌻

So lucky u found your birth parents and siblings... Post a tour of your tiny house

I was adopted at age 2 in 1951. My parents always told me about it and promised to help me search for my family if I wanted. They gave me the adoption papers and it listed all the names. I realized I had a younger brother, one year younger than me. When I was 14, I got a small Honda scooter and got around the city better. A couple of times I was mistaken for someone else. I asked them to help me meet this other boy. As soon as I saw him, I knew it was him. My parents had cautioned me that if I ever did find him, he might not know about the adoption or that I was his brother. We chummed around a bit and then one time he took me to his house. His mother had passed away, but his father was home. I almost laughed when his father saw me. He knew the gig was up. We played some board games in the kitchen and I saw his father always looking around the corner at me. When I got home that night I was told I got a phone call. I answered it and heard, "You're my brother!"

Samantha.. this is amazing. You seem to have found tremendous strength through this, and so happy for you. I am also adopted, I have not found anyone, this is really inspiring. 🙏

congrat I feel you cause I found my family as well like this and how would they react etc.before that in the street i was wondering could it be them ...
