I was adopted and found my birth father and half siblings. It didnt go well. They didnt want nothing to do with me. Im 61yrs old and realize they will be nothing to me but strangers. Yeah, I still wonder why sometimes and my mother never told me the truth. She passed away years ago. So, I came to realize my adopted Father was my true Father. May he R.I.P.

Just because someone is a "sperm donor " or they are, it doesn't make them your father. I'm not adopted, but my abusive dad never wanted kids. In fact, he saw, and yes, told us we[ my two sisters and I]wrecked his plans/life and that "I wish you were never born." to us/my sisters. Fatherhood is SO MUCH MORE than the giving 23 Chromosomes whether one is adopted or not. I'm glad you had a dad l, who valued and appreciated you though, eventhough he adopted you. God Bless!

Yes I was very surprised in the last one where the grandmother told her son not to worry about his daughter just let her come looking for the father when the time is right .. What the heck ? ... so now that girl and her Dad lost all those years together . Just weird that they made no effort to look for the girl 😢. And with Alan that was strange that his mother couldn't cope with him ... ? I don't know if it meant she had some kind of depression or just didn't want to be a mom back then or if she was maybe some kind of an addict ... ?

As a parent of 2 sons I cannot fathom these absent selfish parents just carrying on with their own lives not giving a second thought to the children they brought into the world.

Certainly something I can never understand either. However, there are parents out there that once they separate for whatever reason, one parent will do anything and everything to prevent the other parent having a meaningful or any kind of relationship with the children of the relationship. I know a couple whose relationship ended and the mother did everything possible to keep the children from seeing their father. Now twenty two years after the divorce, one daughter is getting married but does not want her father to walk her down the isle. The youngest son does not want a relationship with his father either all the while the father has done everything possible to try to build relationships with each of his three children.

You are so accurate, my sons did see their father occasionally but he never contributed a penny or gave them emotional support or unconditional love .

They almost certainly remember but have forgiven him for the emptiness whilst growing up . I am a very proud mother .

I don't understand how people miss their biologicals IF they have a wonderful parent or family in their life! Aside from knowing medical history, who would want to beg someone to come back after that person 8/10 times stayed away for reasons you'll never really know the truth about.

You can be married and still have a parent walk out and not have anything to do with their kids. Heck theirs cases of people who go “missing” only to be found years later and admit they didn’t want their spouse or kids anymore. Being married has nothing to do with it, some people are just scum bags, don’t make it like just because some people aren’t married when they have kids is the only reason they disappear on their kids because marriage means nothing to some people.

Never give up on your children I love all of my grown children

My son's father went 33 years without seeing him (last seen as an infant). I tried to get him to agree to a meeting when my son turned 18. He agreed and then reneged. After that i told my son my advice was to forget about him, but he said he had some questions, and travelled to his home town and had a one-hour meeting. After that his father said he would like to stay in touch, but my son is not planning to do so. I don't really feel you should forgive people their decisions if they have been selfish and heartless.

I’ve only gotten through the first one so far… my goodness! His little girl just grinning from ear to ear watching her dad hug his dad. ❤ I must go drink some water to refuel the tear factory.

If only all reunions could work out like the ones on this show.

After watching many of these reunion shows, I can see how these connections make people whole.

What a blessing you are to be able to reunite lost families, bringing back together these family members, you are a true angel!

I wrote every day for about a month, never heard anything. So you didn't know where the mom was raised? You called? You mailed? If mailed no excuse for not getting in a vehicle and finding him.

He wouldn't have said that on Wheel of Fortune all those years later, if he hadn't been in his heart. Dad got shafted by mom.

The last one with the daughter crying a lot especially when she hugged her father it was so difficult not to cry. In some ways, I relate to her, but sadly I haven’t heard from him for decades. I met him when I was 24 for the first time. Then after a couple years nothing. I’ve wrote letters and nothing. I’m 44 now so I just accept that I will never see him again nor does he want to see me again.

You are a hero for doung all these things. God bless!

My father has at least two daughters he never met. We found out about them when he went to jail. They are better off never knowing anything about him. If they grew up with horrible parents, it will just make it worse and if they grew up with lovely parents it may destroy them.

I have no idea who my father's family is. He was not willing to talk about his circumstances in detail for me to put in a timeline. I know a few stories. All I know now is that he was born in Austin, TX and lived in Plainview, TX. THEN he changed his last name when he married my mother, at least that's what I think. No one ever talked about it. I know why he picked the name, but did he do it legally? Did my parents register their marriage in 1959? I need help finding more information, and not many family members are alive anymore. I love my parents and respected them beyond belief. To know more about them is what I and my brothers could really use to feel closer to them. Thanks.
