This is amazing❤️ I did 23 & me & unleashed what I thought was nightmare. I found out my dad I grew up with wasn’t my bio dad. I linked the a random person that was a uncle😳😳 a year later I’m still shook! Me & my bio dad are like twins. As a matter of a fact my bio dad is a twin & never knew about me at all. He cried!!! You have such a calming voice😩
Darn you, Whit Johnson -- the least you can do is put up a warning to get out the hankie prior to watching. I subbed. What a beautiful, beautiful story. I'm watching on March 15th -- The Ides of March -- I'm in the high-risk group -- I'm 63 and have an autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis -- my son is forcing me into self-isolation "Just stay home!!" So CZcams, etc. are my new best friends. I don't do social media. When "Uncle Bear" walked around that corner, I almost "fell out." I can't imagine how you felt at home in front of your computer. And then to find a third brother. The mother must be Italian. She is very beautiful, and her sons are all handsome, as are you. And it appears all of your collective souls are as beautiful on the inside as the outside, including your mom who acted on that inner voice I bet she had that wouldn't leave her alone until you took that test. Sorry to ramble. Isolation is lonely, but I thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story. All of my family is deceased -- all of my grandparents were deceased before I graduated from high school, my very beloved father 2 yrs. after college. My brother, and then his son from complications of Juvenile, Type 1 diabetes, my father was an only child, my mother's siblings lost to cancer, as was she when my son was just five. He's now 29 and it's just us. He doesn't see his father or that side of the family -- their choice -- their loss. He is a wonderful, beautiful young man with a kind heart and soul -- much like yourself. While isolation is difficult, how empty my life would be if no one cared -- I live in Richmond, Va., which is the allergy capital of the world -- seriously, we're sandwiched between the mountains to the west, and the ocean to the east, and when the storms blow up from the south, bringing foreign allergens with them, everybody sneezes. And now, we've had warm weather, the trees are flowering early, and people are afraid, and I have terrible allergies, maybe exacerbated by my RA, which is not arthritis, but causes the joints to get "bumpy" and achy mimicking arthritis. Sorry to ramble on. Thank you so much for uploading this video. You are young, and I wish you such great success in your career. Of course, I don't know these people personally, but I love Lester Holt -- I'm white, has nothing to do with race -- but way back when he was "just" the weekend host of the Today Show, they did a reunion (before it was all the rage) of a military soldier and his family -- total surprise. Lester got choked up right there on air, brushed away his tears -- without shame. As he has progressed through the ranks, he has kept that kindness and very human side of him -- at least on air; I don't want to know any other truth -- I always knew Matt Lauer was shady, with the way he treated Ann !! -- but I also love Harry Smith, for those very same reasons. I see that "special, rare spark" in you. Please don't lose it -- ever -- Love and kindness will always open doors -- often better ones that the darker side of life may slam in your face. Be well. You and your marvelous, expanding family stay safe. Very kindest regards, Patricia
Good son to ask you to stay at home. Perhaps we will learn the value of human contact from this. Recently people have isolated themselves, getting lost in their phones. I'm guilty too. But it's raining here in Los Angeles and I just checked on the kids, they're all curled up in bed each with a book.👍👍.
Stay safe Patricia... We are hunkering down in Florida too. And like your son, we have asked our mother to stay home and safe while this passes. Technology is a great advantage right now. That we stay informed, connected and entertained. 💜
Patricia you are so lucky to have a son who loves you and wants you to stay safe.Maybe during this time you could read a book you have always wanted to read or some other hobby.I’m just a bit younger than you but I’m staying in too.Take care.
@@mariamansoor872 Hi, Maria -- as I explained in answer to another message, I got hooked on The Hunters on Amazon prime -- if you don't have prime, sign up for the free month trial, just to watch it -- it's really good -- but the language is really really foul !!! Lots of crazy twists and turns -- I'm now watching The Best Bakery in Britain -- I'm on the finale for Season 1-- My aforementioned son is now home, because our governor closed all restaurants except for take out/delivery -- he was a waitor -- so Monday was his first day off. It's a busy restaurant and he works really hard, so he's enjoying his time home, and watching his fav show on Netflix "The Office" going back to Season 1 -- his girl is coming over tomorrow, so he's done his laundry and cleaned his room -- I want to see how he does on Day 4 -- ha -- thank you for your kind comment. Please stay safe -- if I've learned one thing through all of this -- we all matter; every single one of us -- hugs -- Patricia
@@emeraldchina7365 How are things in FL -- I'm so glad the governor finally got those kids off the beach -- although, I watched an interview from this one young man, who sounded like he was from up north, he was totally "bummed out," while he was still lounging at the hotel pool, in beautiful sunny weather, with lots of pretty girls in very small bikinis -- and he was saying his parents told him he couldn't come home -- you should have thought of that before you were on a beach with a thousand other crazy people -- ha -- it sounds just like a no-nonsense parent -- I did watch The Hunters on Amazon Prime -- boy, was it good -- so many crazy twists and turns -- if you don't have prime, get the free month's trial -- also, the series the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is really good -- I'm currently watching the Best Bakery in Britain and am up to the finale on Season 1 -- thank goodness they have Season 2 -- stay safe -- thank you for your very kind words and thoughts -- hugs -- Patricia
People like me who know their roots, have been lucky enough to have spent their lives with all their loved ones close to them, have a LOT to be grateful for. We are truly Blessed. So heartwarming to see long lost families reunite. God Bless them all.🙏❤️
Itsss as Keats interesting to check your dna. We thought we knew ours through my dad turns out my dad has a sister no one knew about and now a brother. My mum said it couldn’t be true but your dna doesn’t lie. Unfortunately my dad passed an only child so he never knew.
@@jeanlovestarot yes, good idea to check your DNA. Sadly, too many people have had their lives turned upside down due to DNA checks. However, my two sisters, my brother and I, are exact replicas of our dad and so thankfully no nasty shock by way of DNA checks.
Beautiful, to have found lost treasure! Whit, was so happy. This was a tear jerker! I wanted to know more about his beautiful grandmother. I wonder what happen to her! When your dad thought that he was an ophran and found brothers and new families is amazing! There is a book, in this story and a movie! Nice documentary of his his Dad's journey! 👏 🏆 👏
The universe was showing off when you were made. The Universe rewards the Brave. Beyond brilliant that you found two brothers for your Father is fabulous. I smiled the entire time watching their reunion. What a miracle. Australia.
The surprises can be amazing. For me it was good: I found a first cousin I didn't even know existed (who is now also my favorite -- or most sympatico -- cousin)! Crazy how I was never even told she existed in this world so full of divorces, family grievances and long distances physically from one another.
It's so sad that people have to go through this. Trying to solve the broken pieces of their life and mending their broken heart. The pain really is very heavy to swallow and yet we survive smiling and carrying on like nothing ever happened... Acceptance of what is and what was and some what optimistic of a brighter future...the weight of being human.😭
Whitney cool discovery! It’s been way too long - I found this after I heard you are on the news. Great finding you are doing well and I got a kick out of sharing some of your news casts with the kids and telling them we used to hang out and play soccer together.
This is why I love doing genealogy on my family. I know that there are other family connections out there somewhere it just takes time. I am so happy for this family. It made me cry happy tears.
Gail Fitches When I looked at their mother for some reason my mind went to a studio headshot for movie stars. She was gorgeous. I hope the men all find their fathers. I loved this story. I wonder if the men were all adopted?
I have never commented on any social media website before. You sharing your family’s story just reduced a 59 year old man to tears. Much Love to the Johnson family 👍🏾
I remember when you premiered this story. I was glued to my television. What a wonderful turn of events leading to an amazing family reunion! Did you ever find your dad's sister?
Amazing 😉 I love that each sibling though shocked to learn of each other we’re all open to meeting and getting acquainted. May they make happy memories together for years to come. 🙏🏾
I wonder if ✨✨ Johnson ✨ after discovering all this continues to watch these relationships/family flourish,grow... what say you ...Whit(follow -up!!!🖐🏼❤️😉).....
This story is heartwarming.
Great Story, You and Your Dad are So Handsome, it's in the DNA
You're right. That's nice.
damn it some one needs to stop cutting onions in my room.

The privilege of family.
The secrets unfold. No telling how many more people are related to Steve & Whit.
What a warm, intelligent and articulate young man you are. Your Mom and Dad did good. And you helped give him a precious gift. Heart warming.
Wow Whit,, what a beautiful story.. Congratulations, on your new extended family my friend🙏👍
People like me who know their roots, have been lucky enough to have spent their lives with all their loved ones close to them, have a LOT to be grateful for. We are truly Blessed.

Beautiful story! Sitting here with tears in my eyes! So happy for your father and for his brothers.
WOW, they All look alike! Great reveal, so happy for all the families, and that everything went well!
Thank you for sharing your family's story. An update would be good too!
So pleased for these brothers to meet up!!👏👏👏👍😊
Handsome family! Your Dad is bursting with happiness. 😁 Congrats to all! ♡♡♡

Great story! Congratulations to all of you.
How sweet. My sister doesn't want to meet. I'm brokenhearted. XO to you all, Kelly
❤🙏
Sht man, I am watching and tears come down. What a blessing to find a whole new family by DNA Test. Congrats.
As someone who was recently reunited with long lost siblings, I know what this feels like.
WHAT!!??? How wild is that.. SOOO glad they found each other.. OMG.. keep us posted! 💖💖
My father was adopted. I have wondered for years about the family history. More of our ethnicity than anything. I am getting more and more interested.
Whitney cool discovery! It’s been way too long - I found this after I heard you are on the news. Great finding you are doing well and I got a kick out of sharing some of your news casts with the kids and telling them we used to hang out and play soccer together.
I would have liked to know how they were separated and when their mom died. It is a bitter sweet story but I feel is missing a chapter.
Wow! That’s so great! I’m happy for your family. Thanks for sharing. Rox from Cali
Just fantastic! What a blessing!
I took an AncestryDNA test and found a half brother of my mother. Her father cheated on her mother. It's fun uncovering family secrets.
Oh yes. Beautiful story! Love it. All 3 look alike. Thanks for sharing
This is why I love doing genealogy on my family. I know that there are other family connections out there somewhere it just takes time. I am so happy for this family. It made me cry happy tears.
Congratulations on your discoveries. May you enjoy and grow together as a family.
I was in floods! I'm so happy for you guys!
So fantastic for all the families.
What a beautiful story! 😻👍🏻 Love it.
How beautiful ending of a life story!!!
💙💙💙
Oh, I would love an update on what you found out. I think this is so awesome. Did you find out the story of your Grandmother? She was beautiful.
Gail Fitches When I looked at their mother for some reason my mind went to a studio headshot for movie stars. She was gorgeous. I hope the men all find their fathers.
I loved this story. I wonder if the men were all adopted?
@@stormyweather835 The third younger brother was raised by their mother’s parents. That’s how he had photos of her and knew her name.
That was beautiful. I cried when they hugged and looked at each other.
What a beautiful story thank you so much for sharing
What a wonderful story. Congratulations !
Great job, Whit and mom! My father never knew he had 2 half-brothers. R.I.P. daddy.
Yup, we found out my Dad had a half brother just after Dad passed.
Now I want to do a test. Looking for a niece from a sister that's deceased.
Good luck hope you do
I hope meeting your cousin goes well and in both your favours🙏
Búscala, aunque no la conozcas, te quiere y tú a ella. La genética es así. 🙏
His father is handsome too. What a tear jerker.
Tears for the Mother who had to loose her children~!
Love it. God bless them
Freaking dope!! I truly hope all is well with your dad and your uncles. They are Triplets!!
I love this... thank you for sharing!
Wow! Such a great story! Made me smile!
Really enjoyed your story.
Nice Story! Thank you for sharing.
I love this story!
I just found out I had a brother that was given up for adoption in 1968 from doing an Ancestry. It has been an awesome experience for us:
Thank God this wasn't a ' my dad wasn't my day' story 👏👏👏
He look just like his dad very handsome men
Whit looks more like Bear and the mother than his own Dad. You gotta love genetics.
I have never commented on any social media website before. You sharing your family’s story just reduced a 59 year old man to tears. Much Love to the Johnson family 👍🏾

This story was sweet and reminds me of the show long lost family.
God bless their mom for not aborting her sons. Look how happy she has made them! This was of the best dna test stories ever. God bless them all.
Be careful of what you say. God bless you.
Not every story is about abortion, this one wasn’t.
I concur with your sentiment 100%
God rewards the Brave 💟
