- New Hampshire social worker Kim Fairbank, 51, always knew she was adopted. After a rough childhood of familial disappointments, she yearned to connect with her biological family. She tried DNA testing and waited for answers. It was MyHeritage DNA that brought Kim the match of a lifetime - with her biological father.
Can we talk about the amazing style of this man?...he's one of the coolest grandpas ive ever seen
He does have that COOL Thing going on for sure!!!!
A whole vibe
My first thought was “What a handsome father she has!” But I wasn’t surprised because she’s so pretty.
The look he gave his grandchildren was pure pride. A true father and Grandfather.
Coolest grandpa ever! He seems real about everything and his heart is open to really getting to know his daughter. Awesome!!!!
I was given up for adoption when I was a few months old. I met my biological parents when I was 16. I totally understand the nervousness. Wondering if you're going to be accepted by your family. I am thankful to God that I was accepted and stayed close to my Dad until his death in 2012. And I still remain close to my Mom. It is definitely a blessing.
You can tell how happy he is, just by the time he takes to just look right into there face and soak it in, longer then a typical glance, Its almost like an imprinting moment
I am 47 years old and will be meeting my biological father for the first time on May 31, 2019 at the Ontario Airport in CA at 9:45 am.
We would love to share the Joy. Congratulations.
Trieste Arrington its May 31st😭
How did it go ❤️
Hope it went well ❤️
Prayers! I hope it was pure joy!
This is so emotional... she couldn't get her eyes off her dad🥰🥰
I have an older sister that found me thru the same site and it's absolutely breathtaking.
Wonder if she found her Mom ? It would be nice if they would update this video. ✌🏻❤
am I blessed or what? Good on ya man 🙌🏽👏🏽
After hugging his grandkids did you hear him say “I am definitely blessed”. And he surely is because he had no other children!,
This one gets me every time. I hope this family with precious son-in-law, grandchildren and step mother have thoroughly enjoyed their new found life!
Aww I love how grandpa and grandson both have earrings haha
They are all Blessed. Kim never lost those beautiful eye's she had as an infant either. Wish them all the Very Best. Great Story!
There's bad things on this planet like wars and rumours of wars, but there's also very, very good things like this
Everything she’s been through she still has her zest for life💯 Happy like her Dad 💕
He is so sweet! And looks a little like Robert Di Nero.
the resemblance - soon he walked out- yep - very uncanny - good on her
Beautiful story/reunion! Omg! These 1 night stand still got a wonderful ending snd accepting. ❤️❤️❤️
How cool this man is!!! He is so funny and have a great characteristics to be a great grand father. Now its up to him how he accept them.
I love these very receptive reunions
You guys have had me crying this whole time. My heart really goes out to each of you.
She looks just like him...🤗
I did my DNA best thing I did,my father we believe sadly is dead but have contact with my cousins in the USA,I am from the UK..Its been a great help.
That's so absolutely lovely I can't stop crying
So happy for this lovely lady and her children 💗
He said hell yeah lol aw
Happy reunion.Its a second chance in life .Indeed.Awesome,
He is sooo Greek
Amen to that you can tell a Greek from far away lol
What's greek about him ?
Jason Voorhees as someone half-greek, I can affirm literally everything. appearance, etc.
Aww I love these stories 🙏❤️
Lol, if my “dad” put me in the foster house I would have never even talked to him.
I like dad spirit. Nice
Have no words other than WOW and AMAZING!!!
Have they found her mother yet? Unless she's passed....even is she has...there's going to be someone, some where out there who remembers that her mom and this man were together at some point and that she gave the baby up for adoption....can't wait to see reunion part 2!!! #miraclesintheeveryday #believeit
That's what I like about greeks ! Their family oriented an love family ,she's gona be happy that she found her dad because their gona be in your life big time! Enjoy!!!
She has her dad's nose and looks alot like him
Right!!!!
Bless her other dad, he cared for his sick wife, he cared for his daughter the best he could... :'( then he dies.
Off topic, but hey her hair is awesome!
So happy for them....
Love these stories
If only all reunions were like this. Some parents just refuse to acknowledge their children.
Happy for her and him!🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations! May your lives be joyful in love!
OPA.Bravo god bless you!!!!
I was shocked when she said she was 50 she doesn't look it. I'm so glad she got a happy ending and she got to Daddy of her dreams!
I thought she's like her dad in so many ways. What an incredible story.
I just love! love! this show!miss Kelly!
I love it
I don't know any of these people and every one of these stories makes me cry. How does Meghan do this without crying?
Sharon Hansen Meghan is a professional and has a job to do. Requirement is to keep it together for sake of running the show. She is after all host. Answer to rhetorical question haha. Also she sees the joy these people are feeling more so than the sorrow.
I was just watching this lying down on my bed my tears went to my ears, didn't realize it at all. Got emotional i didnt see my kids for 8 years
Omg they totally match!
Ok Grandpapa is very cool...very cool.Style,the way he talks etc
He’s awesome
Megyn is a great interviewer
Beautiful ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Hallelujah 💓😊
Nice
Great genes, good combo.
Sweet
Dam!!! I totally fell in love with Kim only see find out she has a fiancee... BUMMER... although, great story... Hope she finds her mom!!!!!
They look Just alike
seems like a cool grandpa.
Yes. He does seem cool.
did she find the mum
🙏🏻❤️
wow she looks just like him, nose, eyes, woww
❤️
Did she find her mother?
Did they find her mom?
There was no doubt they were father and daughter, the nose was exactly the same :) good story
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She's his daughter alright. No DNA test needed, just look at their faces.
It's all heart warming to watch but I got mixed feelings at the end.. The father come across as a fun person and all but his comment "you know, it was one of those things.", made me laugh but at the same time also very sad and I find it also inapropriate as well..
I really didn’t find anything inappropriate, he spoke so eloquently and with such class
I don't think it was inappropriate. He didn't say it was a one night stand. Kim understands that her birth parents didn't have a serious or long relationship. The important thing is that he is accepting of her and they seem to be off to a good start. I hope they can find her Mom.
So he doesn't know the name of the woman he got pregnant?
Im77 and not really bothered about my father never met and he’d belong dead now I applied to lost families when I was 50 odd and they didn’t bother to reply
She said that her father passed away at six
Her first adoptive father.
Did she ever find her birth mom?
He looks younger than her
Joseph and today 😀
I wish meeting my mother was different but it was a disaster and I have a biological sister that is angry with me for what our father did to her and I am paying for my father's sin and transgressions
We cannot be held responsible for the things that someone else did. Prayers that your sister figures that out and salvages the relationship that sisters ought to have.
Support your husband in his search, the truth sets us free! While his mother told the children not to contact him, she cannot control other adults forever. Curiosity may one day, possibly not until her death, have them reach out to your husband.
I pray for all of you. May these difficult times lead to more beautiful memories.
The reality is that not all of these searches for the bio parents turns out well. Some also reveal family secrets that were meant to stay buried forever.
Tavlos looks amazing for a man old enough to have a 51 year old daughter.
Oh, she was adopted as an infant. Got it.
He could have a son out there also.
Yes, it makes you wonder. Did her Mom lie to throw him off if he decided to look for Kim? Or could Kim have a twin; or does her Dad have another child out there? I would say her Mom lied to be the easiest explanation but it's odd coincidence that a psychic said that a son was looking for him.
