What a sweet kind son. He must have been a very loving father
Laura and her father and brother are three of the brightest shining stars I've have ever seen. Beautiful people All.
I am so happy to have seen this reunion...my fav.❤
My mother is the first child of her mother and father: a Bahamian father and an American mother. She met her father, for the first time at the age of 25 and it was as if they had been waiting for her, my mother’s father let everyone know that she was his first born child lived in America.Though, she was not raised by him all of her Bahamian siblings say she is most like their father. Her American siblings have always referred to her as a foreigner, strange, different not like them. We are from south Florida and people always think we are West Indian; we represent our African-American heritage however people literally tell us we aren’t, funny. This reunion made me cry; completion.
Oh Lord I cried ,may he live longer and enjoy his time with laura.
My second comment..
I dont understand why some people are so negative. This is a beautiful story about Laura, her dad and her brother! Like my mom used to say, and I bet y'all's did too. If you cant say anything nice about some one, say nothing at all!
Nten seems like a special young man. I think I'm as happy for him as I am for Laura.
"Even if I leave this world, I have set my eyes on Laura." Such beautiful words from an honorable man.
Angela Williams... “Honorable man”... ?? -I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
@@sharonhamilton9496 Sharon it sounds to me like you have had great sorrow in your life. I do hope that you find peace and comfort
@@sharonhamilton9496 why are you everywhere with your hatred soul
Check the comments in this comment section, this man died a couple of months after coming to UK to see his daughter Laura. With all the impediments in his way he still achieved his aim. The existence of these beautiful biracial people like Laura seems to be an eye-sore to most extremists here!
@@sharonhamilton9496 completely unnecessary comment
Sadly, Laura's father passed away the year after meeting her. At least he was able to see her.
@kellmac Really? That is so sad. Yes you are right that we should be grateful that he was able to connect with Laura. Thank you for the update. My Laura and her extended family continue to be blessed.
Laura you are blessed to meet your father. Thanks God
I'm so glad Laura was able to meet her father before he dies.
on to free or or with free iiiiff
Iifiififiwas and other groups are

I felt fulfilled watching Laura meet her father and brother! Strange how you can feel so invested in people you don't even know. I just wish we could see her go to Nigeria and meet her 12 brothers and sisters!
12 wow
I agree, I really want to see her go to Africa. That would be a sight to see. I would definitely toon in. And I'm watching for Cali
@@onevoice7 I'm just watching from New Hampshire...I love this better than the US version...Lol..
11.. she already met Nten :)
Yes! I wanted to see that too
I hope that there are special places reserved in heaven for Nicky and Davina as a reward for all the joy and happiness they have brought to so many people. They both are just good people.
Yes. As well as those people working behind the scenes. God bless all.of them!
@@aparnayum8431 Yep, it might seemed like the investigators are solving mysteries of missing people, but, they did more than that. They found the missing pieces of a puzzle and put them back together which makes those people to feel whole and finally be at peace.
Heaven is not about how good you are..it's for who accepts Jesus as their Saviour and ask forgiveness of your sins.. just good works has nothing to do with it. Although being a believer you automatically do good deeds. And show love to ALL of God's children he created. ❤
I wept. Not just cried. Someday, I hope to set eyes on my own Father.
It will happen...just wait and see.
Our prayers for it to happen.
Keep the Faith! 🙏
Praying that one day soon it will happen for you! 🙏🏽
Wow I hope you can
" It feels good to have someone want you." 😭😭😭
Anyone else grin like crazy when Laura and Ntennstood up to see who is taller? That was so adorable. I feel bad for the twins and the lack of affection they received. I love lids and love on them even if they are strangers. They call me Auntie at church because when the babies are crying they bring them to me. They hit this shoulder or lap and go straight to sleep. I can’t have kids anymore and I’m too sick to adopt. It fulfills me. I just don’t see how someone can not be affectionate toward children.
Those babies can sense your soul and it is a good one.
Although he had 12 children- lovely how Laura's father never forgot about her.
L F ... he was probably paid to meet her
@@sharonhamilton9496 Why do you think that?
@@sharonhamilton9496 Why are you so negative thinking? Remember his health was seriously fading, collapsed and admitted in the hospital and came as soon as the doctors declared him fit. He had financial problems and couldn’t easily get the ticket when he was young and again UK regulations for immigration and visas especially for Nigerians!
Recently families were torn apart by British government and falsely repatriated to the Caribbean, The Windrush generation! Just check it up.
@@mosesm6040 Very sad that he had health and immigration issues. Also very sad that people living in poverty do nothing but have sex.
The world is overly populated and this man could not keep his pants on
@@sharonhamilton9496 Making more kids under stringent conditions is how nature works. Europe’s population blow-ups happened in 2 separate occasions. First during the period of our Oliver Twist poverty stricken era when most Europeans were forced by hunger and poverty to migrate to what was once 3rd world countries in the 19th century!
The second occasion was during and just after the Great War (WWII), the baby boomer years! Food rationing wasn’t even a notch in the problems created. Britain shipped its last orphans from the orphanage to its ex-colonies in 1962 ( to South Africa ). They were seen as problems for the state. At the same time UK was shipping in strong able men from the British Empire overseas territories of the Caribbean to feed its labour force in UK. Ever heard of the Windrush generation?
Even prisoners with heinous crimes are allowed to have babies! Again what was the atmosphere and and availability of family planning in the world in general and Nigeria to be specific 40-50 years ago. When did we in the west even discover the pill? This man took responsibility for all his kids that were in his reach and would have done the same for Laura! Are you against interracial relationship? Just asking!
African men aren’t the best at being expressive with their emotions especially when it makes them vulnerable and soft but these two men right here let it all out. Laura means so much to them.
Men have never been good at expressing things well enough as women. Women just have that gift, men sometimes are afraid to cry out loud.
@@piratez9874
This is largely down to socialization, and the expectations most patriarchal societies have put on boys to be tough.
I think they held it in so long, it just bubbled forth from their souls... Honorable men!!!!
@@piratez9874
Women don't like boys and men who cry.
Very sad stories and prayers answered. That ended in joy
Anyone else crying when Laura’s dad looks at her in awe and says “I love you”? No, just me? Ok.. 😭😭😭
I’m crying right along side of you @Nicole B. It was such a touching and heartfelt moment...😥. But the ending was the best ☺️
Always. Every show. Non-stop tears and tingles.
Not me. He knew he had had a daughter somewhere waiting for him, but yeah he was busy with the making twelve other children...l feel sorry for Laura.
One of my favorites
Practically flooded the house. What a beautiful family.
Sounds like the title of a most beautiful song:
"I have set my eyes on Laura."
❤
Omg! Laura's father is as cute as a button. Happy that he has gotten to see her and she has gotten to hear him telling her that he loves her.
This is so sweet...I'm from Fiji. I havent seen my daughter for almost 13 years now. I'm so praying everyday that one day will meet again😪😪😪😪
Then it will happen!
Write regularly, keep in touch consistently no matter what happens, no matter if she gets angry, moody, even rude, etc. Don't argue, just be there for her. Keep every interaction supportive of her and mostly listen and don't give advice or fix problems. Love her no matter if she turns purple with polka dots. Unconditional love.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Laura's dad is such a gem - gd bless him.
Nten seems like such a good dude
NTan
I just found out I had a younger sister. Havnt met her in person yet, but been talking to her on the phone. She’s my half sister. Came out of the blue but she’s been looking for our dad and us for awhile. So it was exciting
I have 2 siblings my dad walked out on that I have no information about other than a rough period of when they were born. Hope that some day I can find them.
Siblings are the strongest bond you will ever have! I have 4, then we met half sibling at 17 yo. And he is just a normal full sibling to us.
Oh how soul-touching Laura's story is. In Africa, Im sure everywhere in the world, but im speaking from our African experience, children are even more valuable than gold. They are your legacy. It doesn't matter which mother they come from, how they came about, etc. they are valued. I cried.
That is the way it should be.🤱🏿🤰🏼🤰🏿🤰🏾🤰🏻🤱🏼🤱🏾🤱🤱🏽🤱🏿🤰🏽
“…I have set my eyes on Laura.” This Nigerian father is a poet as well. They had me in tears. Love is a beautiful thing.
I cried through the whole thing...children are so precious, and I'm so glad he never forgot her, and she never forgot him
All children are valuable
Tell Sharon Hamilton.
The twins and their sister seem sad. I hope they can find joy now that they have found one another.
The father appears to look healthier since he found out she is looking for him. What a beautiful reunion!
Nten is very handsome and cute. He seems like a wonderful man and a good son.
Y’all don’t understand what it means for that man to say “I love you”..African men that age DONT say that..like I had to teach my dad to say that..for him to just say shows a lot..iyam crying
I second this comment.
yep.. from a Namibian here :)
Well the african men I met in my life were all very vounerable with their emotions... hearing how rare that is now I feel blessed I got to meet them... some were even more open wirh their emotions than many european men? Or is that just my perseption of things?
When the twins spoke of how their adopted mom didn’t give cuddles it nearly broke me! because Linda said that their mother was so cuddly.
The twins at first seemed a bit bitter from hurt in their lives. I love how the fact all they ever wanted was to be wanted! Love to see them in high spirits.
And to find out how much they were missed and wanted by their sister.
I could see and hear the bitterness too, and they prob were , from the right and proper side of life, they had reason.
The twins is a sad story.
You know they have crossed paths and never knew being so close in distance. Maybe even stood in line at the same time, or had a slight ' how are you ' chat on passing. Its very sad they were lied to and blamed for their mothers passing that never happened. The guilt that laid on their daily lives was all for nothing. I hope they find peace with that in this life time. This one broke my heart.
This!!! Imagine sitting in a coffee shop, or standing in the checkout line at the store with your blood sister and not knowing it?! And you can tell by their demeanor that they may have been raised without a lot of affection (not that they are bad people, they just don't show a lot of emotion). And to hear that their mother who died so young and so sudden bless her heart, was very affectionate just adds to the sadness of it all. But it's a blessing that they've had each other and now they have more family!
i love how the twin sisters always say "isn't it?" and look at each other for approval after saying something,you can tell all they've had in their live's was each other for real.
The Nigerian dad is such a sad story. He simply couldn't fulfill his promise earlier because he didn't have the financial means. So happy for his family.
bisi1980 - How could he have financial means? The one son said they were 4 brothers and 8 sisters. Nigerian dad was too busy. What about planning parenthood?
bisi1980 How could he have interest or money to take responsibility for an unplanned pregnancy he could not care LESS ABOUT! He was broke because he can’t keep his pants on!🤬
@@jdstep97Why did your parents not know to about that either.
Laura and her brother favor each other so much, they have the same teeth and smile. Just lovely.
This was a BEAUTIFUL EPISODE! So grateful people are finding their families all over the Globe!🙏🏿
Laura has a smile like her brother 😊
I said this very same thing!
I just realised watching this that there is so many people in the world with pain and that void and longing to be fulfilled in their lives and many in need of love. This was very touching to watch.
Probably not the best show to watch while pregnant and hormonal lol.
I hope you had a box Kleenex by you🤔👀💖
I feel you, but you cannot help it but go back for more. Strange isn’t it ?😂😂😂
Honey, a video of puppies would make you cry.
Awww. 💞
No it’s not lol
Linda, "losing your mom, then losing the twins" Bless her heart. I have cried the whole way through this.
Laura looks like her dad...Same nose and smile!🥰🥰
Both of these stories are so touching. So sad for the lost years but so great that the connection was made before any of them passed away
That's love between a father and daughter is a beautiful thing that God put in people heart. beautiful to see them smile and reunite.
So happy for Laura from having no family to 12 siblings.
With 12 kids in Nigeria its understandable the financial constraints he went through to make the trip overseas
Family is so important. No, more secrets!!!! DNA don't lie. Bless each of the families 🙏
All your stories are about the power of Love. It's just incredible.
This made my heart so full of joy. I truly know how they feel. I finally met my father and other siblings, after 32yrs. It is a wonderful feeling. ❤❤❤
It's incredible how Laura looks just like her brother.....amazing. Wow!!!! I love it.
A mirror image of her dad more
3 mins left in this episode and I’m falling apart. So emotional to see Laura and her father. They were yearning for each other from afar for so long.
Watching this in covid-19 lockdown in Uganda, East Africa. I can't stop crying...family is everything
So true. Watching from Abidjan. The taps are just flowing. Now I want to go home.
Watching from Nairobi, Kenya. Tears!
Watching from Redding, CA .. it's a small world thanks to CZcams.
The twins are almost one person! Look how closely they sit together, almost on top of each other:)
It really is a beautiful bond that they have
They most likely had to rely 100% on each other to make it through their upbringing and guilt of killing their mom( later found not to be true).
Elizabeth Elloitt, Though they were adopted , they had BRUTAL LIVES, and WERE EACH OTHER’s only COMFORT, security and love. What breaks my heart is the fact that they lived 40 years right under each other’s noses!
I love Laura's enthusiasm.Her brother is like a kid in a candy store. For dad love did cost aeroplane tickets and anxious moments❤❤ . I am weeping .Life!
O my goodness.😢 I don’t know him but I just love him. I could hug him and never let go. And her brother,,, “ I have set my eyes on Laura”.🥲
This was deep....had me crying like a baby at 4am. The sad thing is some of us are fortunate to have family and we show no appreciation. Some missed out on family time and long for it. May this allow us to come to our senses.
Absolutely right.
When Laura's father said 'beautiful as handsome' i melted
Laura’s father was so touching. Really, every story on LLF is moving. Whenever I need to feel a loving family, I watch this. Thank you to all involved💕
@Nancy Hooper: I pray that you’re ok. The statement about needing to feel a loving family really moved and worried me. I hope that you’re not alone during this trying period. Please know that I love you even though I don’t know you, you are in my prayers and God will hold you in his embrace to keep you protected. Hoping that you have a beautiful day.
Please keep us up-to-date, I would love to follow Laura to meet her family.
Thank you for uploading.
Today I had a phonecall from my sister, we talked for about three hours. After the phonecall I thought, how much luck I had, growing up with my sister, and how strong our bond has been all the years.
Sweet Andrea, that sounds so lovely ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s 12:41 and without knowing it, the tears are flowing as I’m watching this video and won’t stop. Those two stories are worth every teardrop though 😂😂😂
Please tell me that this show is still running! The happiness and help it give to those seeking their help is unbelievable !!
I’m not sure how some of you couldn’t see the genuine love of Andrew to Laura. I mean I think I know why, but ugh. He told every one of his children from day one that Laura was their sister and as special as each of them. If his daughter can forgive him then it’s none of any of your judgemental asses why he wasn’t there.
Andrew didn't go back to Scotland due to financial reasons, that is a legitimate reason. He didn't have an easy life.
Michelle, I am so happy that you took those people to task for their cruel words. as I have left them all messages so far, my feeling is that they too did not have a happy life. Also I have wished them to find peace and comfort
God bless you coz you just spoke my thought I have a half sibling my dad hide from us for a long time n when my mom found out she brought him home n today we all dont remember. So if you Dont know how it feels dont judge
Andrew( Andy) died a couple of months after going to Scotland to see his daughter. He fulfilled his dreams at last!(it is in this comment section so some family members definitely are still reading this.)
I hope our empathy make us all a little bit sensitive to their feelings!
Well said .. All this judgemental entitled idiots be commented doesn't mean a thing. So glad he made it to meet his daughter before his last breath
Both stories had me in tears. I can relate to wanting to find family and finally meeting them. Because it happened to me too. Never give up hope.
Lovely reunion of father and daughter.
still in tears lora is so gorgeous im so happy for her
Them twins don’t smile at all not even in the family pics... what did there adopted parents do to them in their childhood?! 🤦🏾♀️😞
Rachael Nwaoha yes indeed, so sad they bare pain of abandonment. How love from the eldest sus never gave up.
@@lilliambloomfield2501 Not just pain of abandonment but pain of murdering their mum. Why in the world did those ‘parents’ ever adopt?
Neglect and indifference are painful abuse to carry. Those poor girls. Hopefully having their last years with loving siblings will give them peace and acceptance they so deserve
There was no love shown they said they even asked the parents if they didn’t want them to send them back. That’s why they said at least someone wanted us, they held feelings of unwanted by both birth parents and adopted ones.
3 years later and am hear crying like baby for Laura meeting her dad... emotional me
Me😢
Because of the lockdown here in the Philippines, i am in love watching all your series, and makes me cry all the time when this family reunited.
That's true. Nakakaiyak
I didn't expect the cry watching Laura meet her dad and brother, but I lost it 😭💔
Laura,I thank God you met your lovely family,what a great dad you have there
I am so glad that Laura's father lived long enough to meet her. Cryed
What a LOVELY SHOW.....SOoOOOO NEEDED in TIMES likes this........Reunited and it feels Sooooooo GOOD......💕
Laura is a beautiful lady !
That is so beautiful that Laura’s father was determined to pull through and meet her.!
Linda’s Story: Twin Sisters (Jennifer & Francis aka Dawn & Eve) Taken Away @ 6 Months? The unexpected things families encounter!
Thanks ITV for another great episode!
I have watched Laura's story over and over. It is the most heart warming of ALL the Long Lost videos I've ever watched and I've watched all of them. What a wonderful story. I pray she met all her family.
I am an African and understand why a sad could not make the journey to the UK and yet afford to have 12 other kids.The exchange rate Naira to the British pound may be so high as to make it impossible for the average family to afford a ticket! Bringing up children in Africa is a lot cheaper and cost of education normally affordable! People with many often are able to have the older children look after the younger ones financially as well.During the fifties and sixties parents generally had many children only stopping when the wife could not conceive anymore.For example I was born when my 1st two sisters were already working and there is a 20+age difference between me and my eldest sister.
New favorite episode. This show just wrecks me. I wish we could have more updates on Laura, Andy and Nten. I am so invested
As it says in several other comments, Andy’s health wasn’t good and he died less than a year after this was filmed. Idk if she ever went to Nigeria to meet the rest of her siblings, but I hope so!
So so sad and yet never letting go of that day. Now they start a new chapter filled with new life.beautiful
Thanks for that! Seems like loneliness touches every life.
I am so glad that I found this channel. These have turned out to be wonderful people and I envy them their Joy
Laura is the spitting image of her dad. So happy for her and the twins.
We thank God for this miracle of reuniting a father , daughter and brother Glory be to God
Amen
I love Laura- so wholesome and beautiful naturally
Wheww...both stories had me bawling 😭. I’m just so happy each got to meet their missing family members. ❤️
I will never forget the name Laura. OMG!! A BEAUTIFUL STORY
well done. i'm in tears. thanks for doing this for them and us. cheers
uuugh the nigerian father is getting me in tears. so happy for him and laura
Nten's reaction is priceless no amount of money can buy that
Why pepper caught me in my eyes-I’m not cooking. Both stories are so compelling. May God guidance be with all involved. Hope both relationships blossom into something special. One love.
Beautiful story! And what about those two darling little girl’s of Laura’s!
She has three very sweet daughters :)
I cried. Both stories made me ball. I’m so glad these families found each other.
Love watching these shows! Cry at everyone 😄.
If you’re aren’t tearing watching Long Lost Family, you’re not human.
This show always takes me back 38 years to when I found my entire birth family. My mother, father and a younger sister and brother. My parents got married two years after my birth when I was given up for adoption
😢😢❤❤❤sending love
Thanks for the wonderful touching family stories. I wish them much joy and happiness.
I just need to know did Laura go to Nigeria 🇳🇬 to meet her fam because she need too ....maaannnn.. I cried 😢 I love it ❤️
The two mothers in heaven must be rejoicing to see their children reunited. Beautiful work.
Ok so.... I’m still crying and I’m barely through the middle of this episode!!!! (Tears of joy!)
One of the best parts of the show is the words after, how some people meet and spend a month or two in the country getting to know their families.
I thank God that I have found this program,so nice and inspiring
I just love this programme. Thank you for making me cry non-stop!!
What a stunningly beautiful woman Laura is and to finally meet her biological father and brother. It's beautiful to know that her father made it known to his family of her existence. A Father's *LOVE* is fulfilled upon meeting his daughter for the first time! 😭❤
For a child to lose her Mum and then her twin siblings soon thereafter is so heart wrenching. I was sadden to hear that the adopted twins never had a "happy/loving" upbringing with their adoptive mother. So happy that they know the truth of their biological mother's demise and that they were not the so called cause of her death, a burden they had carried all these years! GOD Bless...🙏🏽✝️❤
