Father meets Daughter for the first time ever
Meeting my daughter Miranda for the very first time on ValentinesDay Feb.14 2011. I never knew I had a daughter until she found me on facebook, and messaged me. We spoke all nite long on the telephone, and decided that we had to meet. I booked her a round trip ticket to NEW YORK CITY at 11pm and we met at 9:30a.m that morning. I can't explain in words how I felt the moment I saw her, knowing that she's my daughter that I never knew exisited. Well I'm proud to say that we are not only best friends but we are closer than anything. We see each several times a year, and we talk on the phone all the time. Her mother and I separated, and I never saw her again. She never told me that she was pregnant I never knew. When my daughter was 15 she told her that I was her biological father and she searched for me ever since until that nite. Its hard missing out on all of those years, but at least now I am in her life, and would do anything for her. Thank you everybody for your comments, I hope this video will give inspiration to others that are searching for their mom and dad's to never give up.

Thank you all again for all the kind words and support! I want to give everyone an update since it has been highly requested... I am now 24 years old (soon to be 25) and have a beautiful 1 year old daughter. My dad drove over 400 miles to be at the hospital with me when I went into labor. So I guess you can say my dad is not only the best dad in the world but also the best grandpa to my little girl Fiona Grace. Our relationship has grown so much since the first time we met and continues to grow every day. Because he lives so far we don’t get to see each other as often as we would like to, but we do talk on the phone and video chat everyday. After seeing how many people are so interested in knowing our story and wanting an update, my dad and I are planning to make and upload a follow up video soon, so please stay tuned!

@Ryan Halpin clearly if she has stopped visiting you all together, it isn't just "something stupid" to her. Maybe try empathizing with her instead of dismissing her feelings. Everybody wants to feel "heard", especially by our parents. Never too late to try and mend a broken relationship.

I found out that i had a daughter feb 13,2011. She found out that i was her real father at age ten. She has been searching for me ever since. She found me on facebook, and my entire life has changed because of this beautiful angel. I cant describe in words the moment we reached out to each other. Im the happiest father in the entire world. Thank you Miranda for searching for me, and for never giving up hope. You are my little girl, i love you so very very much. Dad

I wanted to thank you for sharing this moment. I've only recently reunited with my daughter after 20 years (she found me). I can only hope and pray that our reunion goes as well as what yours did. Thank you so very much for sharing and helping those of us that are still trying to get to where you are now, keep the faith and keep hope alive.

So how did it go ?
This brings tears to my eyes for a personal reason. My wife cheated on me and took my 3 children 2 states away and remarried twice. She told lies about me, badmouthed me to the children, lied to local law enforcement about me to the point where when I showed up to see the kids, they jailed me for 72 hours. I was broken. I have since regained my relationship with my two sons, but... My daughter blames me for everything that led to a failed marriage and she won’t return texts or calls. I refuse to let life’s injustice get me down. My sons are awesome! I’m getting a granddaughter from one son in 24 hours and life is pretty good.... But it could be better.

Same thing kinda happening to my brother who's going thru a divorce. Hopefully your sons will slowly work some common sense into their sister. It hurts but it's not your fault. Time will tell. Might take awhile but I think she'll come around. Good luck.

As far as your daughter is concerned, she's not giving you a chance. Sometimes we have to let go of the things or people we can't fix. Let her know when and if she's ready, your their for her. In the meantime ENJOY the hell out of your sons and new granddaughter. That's a lot to live for!

Hang in there and enjoy your sons & grandchild for now at least. You've done nothing wrong it seems so you need not feel any shame. I hate to say it, but there's every chance the daughter you speak of may be exactly like her mother so maybe you're going to be better off with contact with the 2 sons only for now and maybe down the road she'll see sense. Good luck to you!
wow, this video really made me realize how blessed I am to have been born into a complete and loving family. Sometimes, we tend to take the most important things for granted, simply because they've always been there for us. Mum, Dad, Sis, Bro, I love you all X')
There’s no place like hope, love and compassion! Blessings!

Soul crushing and beautiful! as the father of eight children, six daughters and two sons, and being able to relate a little bit with this, I can barely get through writing this post because I'm crying.

Taylor, sometimes our parents do not know how to hug because perhaps they never experienced it themselves. You give your dad the kind of hug you wish you had from him and keep doing it until it feels natural to him. You will not regret it. Sometimes the children need to be the teachers.

Congrats to both the Father & Daughter in the video, As a Father myself of girls, I can’t begin to imagine the overflowing of pent up love & anguish that would boil over the moment you held your daughter for the very first time, my oldest daughter is about the same age as your daughter here, and like yours is a lovely young lady , but when she lays her sweet head on my shoulder & nestles herself into my arms, to me, she’s the same innocent infant angel I held as a baby. I love my girls so Very much, I’m a wreck when I spend a few days apart from them, I couldn’t bear to spend a long time without them... That would truly break this Marines heart!
Damn this brings so many memories ,i can't watch it fully without pausing it .Bless you guys
This is so nice...I’m so glad for you both !
may you have a very wonderful father daughter relations forever girl. I happy for both of you.
Im so happy for you! I wish i could meet my dad soon, ive never met him either but i hope i will bc i need it. Best of luck for you in the future!
So beautiful. God bless them and their families in good health and happiness ❤️
Awwww that is beautiful. That was nice of the stranger to film their previous moments.❤❤❤
What a touching & beautiful video. I believe no matter what age we are we all need our parents. God bless you both!. 🙏
Hope some day my daughter will search me, i am 41 she 15, seen her only the first year of her life. My ex, made my life very difficult , blocked me on everything and moved to a unknow town. So i didn't seen her 14 years, don't know how she looks like. No matches on social media (and also not via friends) Still hoping my day will come. nice video gives me some hope

This father looks so evergreen...he could easily pass off as her elder brother. But everyone loves a great ending....and that is what we got. Made my day....and I usually have crap days. But not today...
Every child needs a father!
Precious !
I'm SO happy for BOTH of you!!!
It's such a Beautiful thing to Watch.
That is AWESOME!!!
Just wonderful
Moms shouldn’t do this to their kids. Telling her about her biological father was not about her or any past relationships... I am glad both made it and this makes me super happy!
I love this. Gods blessings to you both. ✝️👍
This is so sweet and some will not tell the other parent about the child. I have a 2 coworkers who've manage to do that I have constantly told them they are wrong. That's not fair to the child nor their fathers. Some people are selfish but glad you still meet him enjoy life. This was sweet.
this is so beautiful!
life can go on now, happy for both of you
father and daughter belongs together FOREVER.....a daugther will ALWAYS be a little princess for a REAL father even she's 50 years old. I have a little princess which lives with her mother but i always love her and we see us regularly. to all fathers.....NEVER FORGET you little princess, be a hero for them!!!
Aww, sweet message in the description ❤️❤️
Man....that's a ton to deal with. All the years, all the events....glad you two were able to connect and wish yall all the best
God bless the both of u. That's awesome. I can't wait to catch up with mine for the first time ever.
Long ago I met up w/my Mom after 10 years. Man was I nervous on the plane "What if we don't like each other? What if we have nothing in common?" Turns out, she was having the same thoughts. Well, it worked out just fine, and I gained an awesome Stepdad in the process. DON'T let a chance like this pass you by.
Congrats to you both. I wish ya the best. I wish I could have met my birth-father but he died in 1993. I did meet my birth-mother in 2010 after 30 years apart.
I have two daughters (and a son) and there is something really special about a daughters love. I am so happy for you both to have found each other.
Father is the precious gift that god had ever created. I am proud to say that I am a daddy's girl... Love you. Stay peace in heaven
Reading some of these comments made me cry good luck to all who want to meet their fathers
Father of 2 myself and soon to be Grandpa...your video brought me to tears, so HAPPY for both of you. Nothing better than having a daughter, even if it years later. What a great bond between Father / Daughter.

This father is a REAL man!
When shared DNA meets one another, there's nothing that can deny the bond between a father and daughter that is reflected in the eyes at that moment they connect ... even after all those years , and we all just witnessed this. Truly amazing and wonderful to see. Hope the bond has become even stronger.
Nice to see, thanks for sharing
That's so beautiful to see the father and daughter met the first time and continue to keep contacts. God bless them both.
Beautiful story!
This video breaks my heart...in 1995 my mom had a boyfriend she was with for 2 years, when she got pregnant (at 16) my grandmother moved her away and she had no way of contacting the father of her child...im almost 17 now and all ive wanted my entire life is to find and meet my father...my mum just told me she has known about him for the last 6 months...he died in 2003...none of you have any idea how lucky you are...id do anything to meet my dad the way she met hers...makes me cry every time
You and your daughter are so lucky...I hope this happen to me too!
All Good Wishes To You Both ~ X
I cry at all these meetings....they are so meaningful😢😢😢😢
That’s just such a great story God bless you both you are in my prayers all the best ❤️❤️❤️
What an absolutely wonderful story, to be reunited after so long....
All the best to both!
I'm the father of 19 & 16 yr old boys and this made me cry like a baby. I could feel his pain and joy at seeing and holding his child. I pray they are never separated again.
WOW ... Amazing! Please give us an update video on your story, it would be nice. I even subsrcibed because of this. All the best, Greeting from Hungary, Europe. ;-)
