Selfish? How was he selfish for going back to the US when he literally had no choice or probably be homeless. He certainly can't turn back time, but can look forward to what the future holds now they have found one another. He also could have said no I'm not interested when she came looking for him, but he didn't he stood tall and accepted responsibility for what happened and said yes to a reunion when he very well could have walked away
This deadbeat dad is difficult for me to feel anything but distrust about. He knew where she was all those years, and didn't even write her. I can understand his need to come home to get a job. But that's not a good enough reason to let his little girl grow up without a dad. He seems quite shallow. He's more about "You're beautiful" than "I'm sorry." He even had the audacity to say, "If there's anything to forgive me for"!!!
polly jetix well, he Disney exactly say that. He said, “ if there are any forgiveness” I sounded like he knew he’d messed up big time. And he truly did. He could have written and phoned and emailed her through the years.
I also thought the dad was shallow. He didn't even write a letter, send a Christmas card, call etc. He didn't need to fly to her daughter. He is dead beat. I'm an African woman in Africa and I have seen dads bending over backwards for their kids.
He ran aways from child support. He was just happy to pay for a pair of boots. He doesn't look like he wanted to be in her life. He is lucky his daughter is so forgiving . I'm hoping he doesn't hurt her again
Not even decent boots ,but rubber wellies. Shame on him for not keeping his promise to return. I imagine that every single day she was waiting for him to return. She was very forgiving. Personally I don't think that I would have gone looking for such a father.😢
Probably lonelier. I have never worried about being an only. It makes you stronger and resilient. But to be in a family of siblings who don't fit together must be misery, even damaging to the psyche. My partner was one of 10,with 3 stepsisters, and the 9 were the most dysfunctional bunch of basket cases it has been my misfortune to meet. We split and broke contact completely when the parents died.
i truly find comfort in this show. my father had 2 children with a woman(not my mom) and they were adopted. (im only 18) they would be 5&7 today. i think about them daily and can't wait for the day i get to meet them again.
Both stories were amazing. But the 3 sisters is indeed a testimony that life definitely gives us 2nd chances & is never too late to start again even if it takes years.. Kleenex should sponsor this show! Damn.. makes me cry every single time..
Yes! Being raised as only children then discover you have two sisters how wonderful. I'm the middle of three sisters and we had so many good times together. So happy for them😍
O my goodness! The love & excitement of these 3 sister's, coming together, after all these years, & especially surviving the horrible war, is a true true miracle! I almost fell off my chair crying happy tears for them! God is so good! 💞
Why did your god create that horrible war in the first place? Why does your god allow children to be hurt and killed and injured and abducted and molested?
So this man just did not contact his daughter for 20 years? Even if he didn't have the money to go back to the UK, write a letter or make a phone call. How is it that you have your DNA just out there and didn't think to find her? I have so much resentment towards fathers like this. I am sorry.
I've been crying for the last 4 hours watching these programmes, in fact my neighbour came by and asked me who had died, bit difficult to explain in Spanish what I was watching, love these videos
It always amazes me how these men can father children, just walk out, never contact them, never spend a penny for their support, and get a total pass on the whole thing. He never loved her, or he would have stayed in her life and helped her grow. He is just relieving his guilt. At least he has some guilt.
Indeed, my "sperm shooter" left my mother the minute he heard she was pregnant, and he never loked back or wanted anything to do with her or me. I don't have any reason to go searching for this coward, and I don't understand anyone who would.
Me too. I watch a lot of shows like this-and there are so many men that will start looking for the kids they abandoned once they are adults. That way they don’t have to help or pay for raising them. It’s incredibly selfish and it pisses me off.
Or at least set up an account in her name in america for when she turned 18 or 21. That money wouldve grown in interest for her now as an adult especially with the baby
Even thought all these reunion stories are touching, I keep thinking how the parents who skipped out on their parental responsibilities- financial and emotional- are basically just big jerks.
@@DeeSol28 Feckless, selfish waste of space. I hope he has done better by the 19 year old. Funny how the wife opened the door then disappeared. Yet the daughter's husband was there for her and their son all the way through. THAT is a Father and husband.
And he said he could either be unemployed in the UK or go back to the states and “seek employment”, which means he didn’t have a guaranteed job either way. I could understand if his visa was going to expire but I would think he’d say that if that was the case. Either way, there’s no excuse for leaving without a word to explain himself
I can only add this: I’m old, and ill, and live each day in hope tomorrow will be better. It does happen sometimes. Or, tomorrow becomes a week, then months, even years, while I work to keep myself alive and live for tomorrow. The older you get, the more life‘s like this. Things, even important ones, get lost and put off. I was a hospice volunteer who helped people at the end of their lives resolve issues like this. I’m facing the truth that I myself will soon need that help. Please try to imagine what complications others face, or at least accept there are things we will never understand.
Brutus Tan indeed. Women and Mothers have much more to do with the loss of Dads that had once known their children than we seem willing to admit. Mine engaged in major premeditated deception to erase mine... it devastated me when I found out she’d lied to me about him, and left me me with no one at all. She loved no one but herself.
So happy that I discovered this show during Covid quarantine ! This is what I needed Ps congrats to the producers the uk version is the best so respectful and well orchestrated much better than the US or German one
I’m not a fan of the Dad in this episode. He disappeared, essentially changed his name to avoid being found, didn’t provide support - financially or otherwise - didn’t send letters or cards, didn’t reach out after the creation via social media, NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! He doesn’t seem remorseful at all. He seems practiced and staged. Just yuck all the way around and a beautiful young mother that deserves sooooooo much more.
All I have to say about you 3 beautiful sister's, is, if either of you or any of your family members are reading these comments, I would love to see updates about your life together! OR maybe even a documentary or reality show of you three together! Your story and union is just phenomenal! Enjoy each other forever! God Bless you All! 💞💞💞
I don't have much regard for the father not looking for his daughter for 20 years. I was thinking, if it hadn't been for LLF looking for and finding him, would he have ever tried to look for her on his own. I think not.
anna zaman Yes, it surely was a very different world then. The stigma of an unwed mother in that society would have been terrible. To be pregnant again and to leave one behind with the imminent Nazi occupation. Thank God for grandparents! It seems someone else mentioned mental illness..it may be, but there’s a radically different world she grew up in post WWI. I’m just thrilled for the sisters and have always longed to have one, but alas, I only had brothers in a very troubled and separated life.
His second daughter is 19. I bet his wife had something to do with him not contacting her. I was heartbroken for her. You can't get those years back. All it takes is a phone call. If she hadn't searched for him would be have looked for her??? I would be thinking about that the whole time. Also, will he make an effort to still keep in touch?
You absolutely cannot blame his current wife in any way. If he were a true Man he would have stayed in his daughter's life one way or another. Even back then when you had to pay quite a bit to make a simple phone call would it not have been worth it?
TX Dad could have written or called and still does no own up t his failures.. He has no legit. excuses for his sh*tty behavrior toward his daughter. I wish her well with him because he likely will disappoint her again.
This show is made possible over 90% by men who abandon girlfriends & wives who are pregnant. They see that not only do they have no assistance from the father, their family, & also none from the state. They have no choice so they give their baby up for adoption. A much smaller percentage are women who do not want children, but got pregnant. These are abandoned at birth as foundlings, or left behind in hospitals, given away, or given up for adoption. Another percentage gives up after a time of parenting & just never returns, disappears, in some cases repeatedly (abandoning one family after another). All of these scenarios are covered by this series. The main question I have is: When will the men be made to be responsible, instead of dumping it, the care & support of their family & children, on the state? This GREAT BURDEN is causing more financial crisis than people realize in the world today. Instead of women being shamed, it should be the MAN WHO CAUSED her pregnancy who should be shamed.
Oh my, the three sisters! They are the missing pieces that fit together perfectly! I'm so happy that this young lady was able to meet her father and have her relationship with him restored.
The sisters 👯♀️ were wonderful. They meeting each other was absolutely perfect. It’s like they always knew each other. Now they have someone to call sister twice. The one who felt hunger, it’s sad but she remains jolly, how wonderful is that. Valerie is spunky. And the one who started the search had no idea it would be 3 sisters that look alike so much.
Ohh how I love the 3 sisters met each other. I have 4 sisters and we feel each other heartbeat there hurts, there happiness and the children so beautiful, big close family 1 older brother ❤
The Dad in the episode just makes me feel so grateful and blessed that my Dad never bailed on me or my mom (like my older siblings' dad did them). Even when my parents got a divorce, I was 13/14, my Dad was still around 70-90% of the time. And the other 10-30% was him being at work, his own home and living/rebuilding his life. Although he respected their divorce, it felt like they werent divorced bc he didnt leave away from me, not even my mom💕
Really? His excuses were pretty lame. He needed to get a job. What was to stop him getting a job in the UK and bring up his daughter? Or take her and her mother with him? Send for them when he was established? He was a feckless father who didn't want the responsibility. Even what he did when she was 5 was actually cruel. Don't be around, blow in like the Hero, promise to be around then vanish in a puff of smoke. Better to have not seen her at all. And to lie like that when he knew what he was intending was inexcusable. He doesn't deserve her.
M M I had a flash of one of them walking up to the others as just a waist down person! They are so very blessed to be whole or half. At least they have one another now!
To me, it's clear that she didn't mean any offense - she probably wanted to communicate the fact that she had a sister who had one parent different from her. Still a sister but if you track it on a family tree, it is technically a different relation as far as lineage is concerned.
I don’t believe she was making that distinction like she wasn’t just a sister, you have to remember she knows she has a different father, she’s just making that clear. She knew nothing of her father or anybody.. how sad 😢
Nicky let it slip that he already knew there was another sister. He knew it wasn’t a brother even though Sheila didn’t. Oops! They likely had the whole thing mapped out already like in Who do you think you are?
Recently discovered this show & have watched 6 or 7 in total so far. I must say, they bring a tear to my eye & I wish eternal happiness for these reunited families. That said, this is the first & only one thus far that disturbs & frankly disgusts me & that is the deadbeat dad...who couldn't even find it in his heart & moral fiber to write a frikkin letter to his daughter that he left behind...abandoned...over 20 years prior. What kind of man does this? It's irksome that he couldn't even offer a reason. He's lucky...sorry to say, I don't believe I would be so forgiving. JMHO
I wish for a follow up on the 3 sisters. It would be interesting to have an other show that would give the audience a development of all these families. What was the results of these reunions .
I'm not an only child but grew up with older brothers. I was thinking while watching the sisters meet that I wish a sister or two would appear in my life. I've always wanted a sister. I'm so happy for these ladies. How wonderful that they found each other. :)
So selfish for Daisy to not give her Daughter clues to finding her sister. If she didn't want to deal with it, she could have written things down for her Daughter to open once Daisy died. So infuriating
32:30 "I hope we all bond." LOL I thought she said, "I hope we all bowled." And I thought, "Whaaaaat???!" That English accent got the best of me for a minute! :D
Thank you Niki and divina you are god sent to pick the pieces of a broken love and make it as whole again thank you you are god sent continue and god bless you as always
Not sure why, but if you visit places families typically frequent here in the USA, you will frequently see black women or white women with mixed race children, alone. You very seldom see it among other minorities such as Asians or Hispanics. You more often see those children with both parents.
She is the sweetest & cutest LiL older lady. She is so happy & inspiring, after all she's been thru. Hope the sister's meet & maybe find the other sibling 💞
These stories just make me ball my eyes out every time!!! They are so heartwarming. I just sat through three of them and feel emotionally exhausted!!! I just cannot get enough of them. Thank you so much for sharing! By the way, how do you get in touch with these show runners? I have a family mystery to solve. I am an Italian American and would love to know my real surname since my great grandmother had children with her employer not with her husband. I just found this out recently and my father, his twin sister and my cousin and I are very interested in solving this mystery. We have records from the 1800's and early 1900's from immigration papers and marriage certificates, and other documents. It would be really nice to figure out what family we are all from. There were three siblings in my grandfather's family and 12 siblings in my father's family. There are just two out of the 12 left who are in their 80's. I have lots of family members who would love to know the answer to this mystery.
Naomi is so forgiving, poor kid. Her "father" was horribly selfish and careless with a young child's feelings and emotions. No excuses.
Selfish? How was he selfish for going back to the US when he literally had no choice or probably be homeless. He certainly can't turn back time, but can look forward to what the future holds now they have found one another. He also could have said no I'm not interested when she came looking for him, but he didn't he stood tall and accepted responsibility for what happened and said yes to a reunion when he very well could have walked away
@@user-do3nw3uu2e Seriously! He went back AND changed his name, using his middle name! Absentee "father."
@@kristinebailey6554 Yes seriously. He really didn't have a choice. If he could have taken her and raised her himself I'm sure he would have.
Stupid comment

Its Hard For me to see what his Excuse was.
This guy abandoned his daughter who adored him, and her mother, whom he obviously used! No child support, no contact with her! Disgusting!
@@rebeccawright2038 I think he called Nicky 'Martin' when they parted. Says a lot.
She said "2 Sisters to Love" Choked me up. I can't wait to see them together! So touching! 💞
He ran aways from child support. He was just happy to pay for a pair of boots. He doesn't look like he wanted to be in her life. He is lucky his daughter is so forgiving . I'm hoping he doesn't hurt her again

"An only child is a lonely child" ... a child with nothing in common with their sibling(s) is also a lonely child.

@@hogwashmcturnip8930I have no contact at all with my sister, and for good reason. Glad to hear someone acknowledging that these things happen.
Wow that’s how I feel nothing in common with my siblings.
It's a good thing to have a sibling if you are close in age and close in attitude meaning being real in stead of being too agreeable.
At 17:40: Valerie: "...2 sisters to love...what a lovely feeling...they're mine...I could cry..."
ME: *already ugly crying*
That was so moving. Ohh. This program has me crying like I've never cried before in my life.😥
Back to my crying soggy kleenex
I just had to comment, I never do but "the sisters" story was indescribably beautiful and moving. Much love to them all and their future together xx
theresa marretta You said it perfectly! I want to press the thumbs up again!
They look just alike 😊
i truly find comfort in this show. my father had 2 children with a woman(not my mom) and they were adopted. (im only 18) they would be 5&7 today. i think about them daily and can't wait for the day i get to meet them again.

Really
❤️
I can’t get through a single episode of this without ugly crying!
Me too always crying happy tears
Me too..
And me too... here in Cape Town. now i will have swollen eyes in the morning.
The sisters look alike ... no doubt they are sisters. I'm so happy for them.
I love how happy Cherie is about finding her family. Tears of joy.
O my goodness! The love & excitement of these 3 sister's, coming together, after all these years, & especially surviving the horrible war, is a true true miracle! I almost fell off my chair crying happy tears for them! God is so good! 💞
Why did your god create that horrible war in the first place? Why does your god allow children to be hurt and killed and injured and abducted and molested?
I have 2 sisters. We were estranged in early years but in our 20s were brought back together. I can't imagine life without them! God is good!
Vandry if I were her I would want nothing to do with you. You had zero excuses for abandoning that little girl.
True
Very True. No more Excuses. You're Excuses are invalid Vandry.
Yes, and abandoning her to the Nazis on top of that!!
"Even now, I could still feel the hunger"😢
So this man just did not contact his daughter for 20 years? Even if he didn't have the money to go back to the UK, write a letter or make a phone call. How is it that you have your DNA just out there and didn't think to find her? I have so much resentment towards fathers like this. I am sorry.

Exactly! lol
Awww that daughter is so beautiful and her husband is such a lovely attentive man💕❤️ her father is a nice man too!!
This one has me 😭😭😭😭 OMG!!!! the 3 sisters story got me balling like a baby
It always amazes me how these men can father children, just walk out, never contact them, never spend a penny for their support, and get a total pass on the whole thing. He never loved her, or he would have stayed in her life and helped her grow. He is just relieving his guilt. At least he has some guilt.
Is he forgives him then I guess others can.
Indeed, my "sperm shooter" left my mother the minute he heard she was pregnant, and he never loked back or wanted anything to do with her or me.
I don't have any reason to go searching for this coward, and I don't understand anyone who would.
Me too. I watch a lot of shows like this-and there are so many men that will start looking for the kids they abandoned once they are adults. That way they don’t have to help or pay for raising them. It’s incredibly selfish and it pisses me off.
Sirius Purple I always think the fathers are looking for someone to look after them as they age😏
Or at least set up an account in her name in america for when she turned 18 or 21. That money wouldve grown in interest for her now as an adult especially with the baby
Even thought all these reunion stories are touching, I keep thinking how the parents who skipped out on their parental responsibilities- financial and emotional- are basically just big jerks.
That “father” didn’t fool me
@@DeeSol28 Feckless, selfish waste of space. I hope he has done better by the 19 year old. Funny how the wife opened the door then disappeared. Yet the daughter's husband was there for her and their son all the way through. THAT is a Father and husband.
I know. Like the mother who left her child in Jersey. Most mothers would do anything not to be separated from their child.
"Oh my giddy aunt !" I swear I'm going to start saying that.
Left the country, changed his name, then not a word for 20+ years. Yeah, time just gets away from you... smh
Yeah sounds like my father-in-law’s sperm donor. He did a runner during WWII, Gran had to hire a PI to divorce him. A real Prince.
He admitted he phucked up but still...horrible.
It's obvious he met someone else because his other daughter is just a year younger
And he said he could either be unemployed in the UK or go back to the states and “seek employment”, which means he didn’t have a guaranteed job either way. I could understand if his visa was going to expire but I would think he’d say that if that was the case. Either way, there’s no excuse for leaving without a word to explain himself
Just another sperm donor who changed his name to evade responsibility after lying to his child. Bless her for being so forgiving.
Just that moment when they find out the person they have been looking for has been found gets me every time.
I haven't seen my dad since 1999 I have a 21 years old son he never met and we live in the same town!!! I'm his only child!! Imagine that
Both are nice stories, but the story of all the sisters was wonderful. Damned onions. Thank you for the upload!
Hilary C 😂😅
Crystalmary Raphael g
Hilary C onions everywhere Dammit
Hilary C it got me 2 lol dammit!!
Wow, I was dicing onions too...what a coincidence!
Naomi's dad had no excuse whatsoever to not contact her. How can you just walk away from your child and never look back as if they never existed?
They do it so they don't have help support the child.
He could have written her! Only a few cents.
I can only add this: I’m old, and ill, and live each day in hope tomorrow will be better. It does happen sometimes. Or, tomorrow becomes a week, then months, even years, while I work to keep myself alive and live for tomorrow. The older you get, the more life‘s like this.

R. C. - Sad but true.
I’m so happy for the sisters. Watching them talk is like they never missed a day apart from each other.
Dad, actions speak louder than words.
Moms too. Come on people, parent your children!
I loved the three sisters!! They seem like a hoot!!!!!😂
So happy that I discovered this show during Covid quarantine ! This is what I needed
Ps congrats to the producers the uk version is the best so respectful and well orchestrated much better than the US or German one
I agree
Totally agree.
I absolutely agree ❤️❤️
I totally agree too. The German version is to a large degree annoying. I don't know why there are choosing some real stupid setups for the show.
Damn cat is in the kitchen AGAIN cutting those onions!!! 😥❤❤❤❤❤ Those sisters were great and I hope they have a wonderful life! ❤🙂
Nicky and Davina are perfect for the job..
It's Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell and, yes, they are perfect for the job.
So true!! I cannot warm to the hosts in Australia and The US! Nicky and Davina have ruined them for me 🤪
make me cyring never stop..when the three sisters meeting up...look like same face...😭
I love Val. My kind of woman. Straightforward. No BS.
Unfortunately, leaving is something men do on a regular basis. There IS no excuse.
The three sisters are such beautiful people! I love that they found each other!
Valerie has liiiiiveedddd honey! Love her vibe
joshjarrod the “Blanche” of the group. Lol
'Oh, my giddy aunt!' Loved it, haven't heard it for ages. :-)
Lovely it's like the golden girls 😊
The episode I love most would be the ones where the one looking for a missing sibling believes that there is only one sibling but ended up with more.
I’m not a fan of the Dad in this episode. He disappeared, essentially changed his name to avoid being found, didn’t provide support - financially or otherwise - didn’t send letters or cards, didn’t reach out after the creation via social media, NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!

They meeting each other was absolutely perfect. It’s like they always knew each other. Now they have someone to call sister twice.
I hope he brought the baby a pair of little wellys so the circle and continue but be broken because maybe this time he'll stay in contact more
Naomi's "dad" is a deadbeat dad. He could've done so much to see her during those 20 years for gods sake!
He could have at the very least written her letters and sent her birthday cards.
I agree. I’d invite him all the way over the pond and then punch him in the face.
It's very sad... it was the 1980's not the 1880's lol... there were telephones and mail. How can you tell a precious child a lie
like that... ugh sad.
I don't have much regard for the father not looking for his daughter for 20 years. I was thinking, if it hadn't been for LLF looking for and finding him, would he have ever tried to look for her on his own. I think not.
sherry kao aloe of them out there
The story with the three sisters was lovely!!
Would love to see more of these reunions. but in the mean time.. hate to see there's more of them, if you know what I mean.
Daisy was so secretive. Didn't want her image tarnished.
anna zaman Yes, it surely was a very different world then. The stigma of an unwed mother in that society would have been terrible. To be pregnant again and to leave one behind with the imminent Nazi occupation. Thank God for grandparents! It seems someone else mentioned mental illness..it may be, but there’s a radically different world she grew up in post WWI.
I’m just thrilled for the sisters and have always longed to have one, but alas, I only had brothers in a very troubled and separated life.
LLF is the best show everrr! I looooooove it .. such wonderfully, sad, happy, hopeful stories.

If she hadn't searched for him would be have looked for her??? I would be thinking about that the whole time. Also, will he make an effort to still keep in touch?
Probably Not. And His Wife wouldn't have encouraged it
You absolutely cannot blame his current wife in any way. If he were a true Man he would have stayed in his daughter's life one way or another. Even back then when you had to pay quite a bit to make a simple phone call would it not have been worth it?
It just feels like he was Rehearsing everything It wasn't authentic. The was no remorse.
TX Dad could have written or called and still does no own up t his failures.. He has no legit. excuses for his sh*tty behavrior toward his daughter. I wish her well with him because he likely will disappoint her again.
Thankyou so much for giving us this missing episode of this wonderful series.!
This show is made possible over 90% by men who abandon girlfriends & wives who are pregnant. They see that not only do they have no assistance from the father, their family, & also none from the state. They have no choice so they give their baby up for adoption.
A much smaller percentage are women who do not want children, but got pregnant. These are abandoned at birth as foundlings, or left behind in hospitals, given away, or given up for adoption. Another percentage gives up after a time of parenting & just never returns, disappears, in some cases repeatedly (abandoning one family after another). All of these scenarios are covered by this series.
The main question I have is: When will the men be made to be responsible, instead of dumping it, the care & support of their family & children, on the state? This GREAT BURDEN is causing more financial crisis than people realize in the world today.
Instead of women being shamed, it should be the MAN WHO CAUSED her pregnancy who should be shamed.
I agree!
It never occurred to me to bash men or boys.
Oh my, the three sisters! They are the missing pieces that fit together perfectly!
I'm so happy that this young lady was able to meet her father and have her relationship with him restored.

The one who felt hunger, it’s sad but she remains jolly, how wonderful is that. Valerie is spunky. And the one who started the search had no idea it would be 3 sisters that look alike so much.
Ohh how I love the 3 sisters met each other. I have 4 sisters and we feel each other heartbeat there hurts, there happiness and the children so beautiful, big close family 1 older brother ❤
The Dad in the episode just makes me feel so grateful and blessed that my Dad never bailed on me or my mom (like my older siblings' dad did them). Even when my parents got a divorce, I was 13/14, my Dad was still around 70-90% of the time. And the other 10-30% was him being at work, his own home and living/rebuilding his life. Although he respected their divorce, it felt like they werent divorced bc he didnt leave away from me, not even my mom💕
So disappointing to continue being a witness to these soldiers leaving children without even blinking an eye
Every parent who thinks about abandoning their children should watch Long Lost Family!
Anyone thinking about aborting their baby should also watch. Adoption is so much better than abortion.
What a loving father to find. He owns up to everything to and is going to make up for it. Nice man.
But I think he ends up not being there for her in an update
Really? His excuses were pretty lame. He needed to get a job. What was to stop him getting a job in the UK and bring up his daughter? Or take her and her mother with him? Send for them when he was established? He was a feckless father who didn't want the responsibility. Even what he did when she was 5 was actually cruel. Don't be around, blow in like the Hero, promise to be around then vanish in a puff of smoke. Better to have not seen her at all. And to lie like that when he knew what he was intending was inexcusable. He doesn't deserve her.
"Even now, I can still feel the hunger..." WOW.
Forgive me, but I didn't like the distinction between 'whole-sister' and 'half-sister'. Thankfully Cheri didn't take it at all.
M M I had a flash of one of them walking up to the others as just a waist down person! They are so very blessed to be whole or half. At least they have one another now!
To me, it's clear that she didn't mean any offense - she probably wanted to communicate the fact that she had a sister who had one parent different from her. Still a sister but if you track it on a family tree, it is technically a different relation as far as lineage is concerned.
I don’t believe she was making that distinction like she wasn’t just a sister, you have to remember she knows she has a different father, she’s just making that clear. She knew nothing of her father or anybody.. how sad 😢
I just saw your post after mine AJR lol sorry I repeated basically what you said! Great minds 😊
Can't get through one of this without crying and I'm not even adopted !
I've got to stop watching these shows! I am running out of kleenex!
JoycesRVLegacy - Me too! 🤣
I love it❤
They remind me of The Golden Girls.
I've got to say, to that father: "How can you get up every day and look yourself in the mirror, knowing what you chose to do to your daughter?"
True, not even a letter for crying out loud 🙆♀️
that dad is so scripted, controlling, sus, and pretentious. Even Nicky (the host) can sense that.
Nicky let it slip that he already knew there was another sister. He knew it wasn’t a brother even though Sheila didn’t. Oops! They likely had the whole thing mapped out already like in Who do you think you are?
I'm surprised that was left in the final edit!
The American military father and his "story"/explanation is a bit... underwhelming.
Love those three sisters! Thanks for the upload.
Beautiful stories that warm my heart!!!!
Recently discovered this show & have watched 6 or 7 in total so far. I must say, they bring a tear to my eye & I wish eternal happiness for these reunited families. That said, this is the first & only one thus far that disturbs & frankly disgusts me & that is the deadbeat dad...who couldn't even find it in his heart & moral fiber to write a frikkin letter to his daughter that he left behind...abandoned...over 20 years prior. What kind of man does this? It's irksome that he couldn't even offer a reason. He's lucky...sorry to say, I don't believe I would be so forgiving. JMHO
SweetDreams706 and
Changed his name
wow
who does that
.
I’ve been noticing the exact same thing! If it wasn’t for deadbeat dads, this show wouldn’t even exist!
I am happy that you guys found each other, I rejoice with you three sisters
I wish for a follow up on the 3 sisters. It would be interesting to have an other show that would give the audience a development of all these families. What was the results of these reunions .
My goodness this episode really teared up! I'm late to this show, but I love it! So beautiful.
Naomi is so pretty
I am in the USA...A reunited adoptee myself and wanted to know if this show is still on the air in England? Such a great show!
Yes :)
+benwarful They have an American version coming up next month on TLC channel.
Dot Thurman omg really?what is going to be the title of it so I can see it from here (I watch u.s. shows since I moved to another country).
+Rubi Estefany It is also Long Lost Family! :)
Same title. Check it out on tlc.com. It already aired.
This show is beyond amazing if these 3 sister's unite. God is so good! 💞
Yippee! What a great show! I'm over the moon with ecstasy!
I am an only child and have always wished a sibling would show up.
I'm not an only child but grew up with older brothers. I was thinking while watching the sisters meet that I wish a sister or two would appear in my life. I've always wanted a sister. I'm so happy for these ladies. How wonderful that they found each other. :)
Back in the day, I’d have gladly have offered you my baby sister.......
The three sisters mother was quite the gal. Good thing she left Jersey she would have been punished for being a collaborator.
Awwww such beautiful sisters!!!! I love them!!!
What a lame excuse of the father for not looking for his daughter! He should be ashamed!
aww man. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
I'm so very happy for the sisters.
So selfish for Daisy to not give her Daughter clues to finding her sister. If she didn't want to deal with it, she could have written things down for her Daughter to open once Daisy died. So infuriating
Vanderee doesn’t deserve her. She has every right to be angry. Thinking about someone and not doing anything for them is nothing but selfish.
those sisters they seemed like a fun people,. im sure they will have a blast!!
32:30 "I hope we all bond." LOL I thought she said, "I hope we all bowled." And I thought, "Whaaaaat???!" That English accent got the best of me for a minute! :D
I just read a book about this same story it was called secret sisters very good book
Thank you Niki and divina you are god sent to pick the pieces of a broken love and make it as whole again thank you you are god sent continue and god bless you as always
This people what they do is the best and great work in the world. Changing people life’s like this is amazing 😩😩😩😩💝💝💝💝♥️🎂
Thank you for uploading this!
Not sure why, but if you visit places families typically frequent here in the USA, you will frequently see black women or white women with mixed race children, alone. You very seldom see it among other minorities such as Asians or Hispanics. You more often see those children with both parents.
The mother had a strong nose! Stong genes they all lookalike!!!
I love that woman. She is so open and accepting. This is one of the best.
She is the sweetest & cutest LiL older lady. She is so happy & inspiring, after all she's been thru. Hope the sister's meet & maybe find the other sibling 💞
These stories just make me ball my eyes out every time!!! They are so heartwarming. I just sat through three of them and feel emotionally exhausted!!! I just cannot get enough of them. Thank you so much for sharing! By the way, how do you get in touch with these show runners? I have a family mystery to solve. I am an Italian American and would love to know my real surname since my great grandmother had children with her employer not with her husband. I just found this out recently and my father, his twin sister and my cousin and I are very interested in solving this mystery. We have records from the 1800's and early 1900's from immigration papers and marriage certificates, and other documents. It would be really nice to figure out what family we are all from. There were three siblings in my grandfather's family and 12 siblings in my father's family. There are just two out of the 12 left who are in their 80's. I have lots of family members who would love to know the answer to this mystery.
Love this episode. How did they figure out the two younger sisters were full sisters? And little James is the cutest baby!!!
There are marriage records. And DNA tests.
