I am so happy to have seen this reunion...my fav.❤

My mother is the first child of her mother and father: a Bahamian father and an American mother. She met her father, for the first time at the age of 25 and it was as if they had been waiting for her, my mother’s father let everyone know that she was his first born child lived in America.Though, she was not raised by him all of her Bahamian siblings say she is most like their father. Her American siblings have always referred to her as a foreigner, strange, different not like them. We are from south Florida and people always think we are West Indian; we represent our African-American heritage however people literally tell us we aren’t, funny. This reunion made me cry; completion.

Oh Lord I cried ,may he live longer and enjoy his time with laura.

My second comment.. I dont understand why some people are so negative. This is a beautiful story about Laura, her dad and her brother! Like my mom used to say, and I bet y'all's did too. If you cant say anything nice about some one, say nothing at all!

Nten seems like a special young man. I think I'm as happy for him as I am for Laura.

"Even if I leave this world, I have set my eyes on Laura." Such beautiful words from an honorable man.

@@sharonhamilton9496 Making more kids under stringent conditions is how nature works. Europe’s population blow-ups happened in 2 separate occasions. First during the period of our Oliver Twist poverty stricken era when most Europeans were forced by hunger and poverty to migrate to what was once 3rd world countries in the 19th century! The second occasion was during and just after the Great War (WWII), the baby boomer years! Food rationing wasn’t even a notch in the problems created. Britain shipped its last orphans from the orphanage to its ex-colonies in 1962 ( to South Africa ). They were seen as problems for the state. At the same time UK was shipping in strong able men from the British Empire overseas territories of the Caribbean to feed its labour force in UK. Ever heard of the Windrush generation? Even prisoners with heinous crimes are allowed to have babies! Again what was the atmosphere and and availability of family planning in the world in general and Nigeria to be specific 40-50 years ago. When did we in the west even discover the pill? This man took responsibility for all his kids that were in his reach and would have done the same for Laura! Are you against interracial relationship? Just asking!

The twins is a sad story. You know they have crossed paths and never knew being so close in distance. Maybe even stood in line at the same time, or had a slight ' how are you ' chat on passing. Its very sad they were lied to and blamed for their mothers passing that never happened. The guilt that laid on their daily lives was all for nothing. I hope they find peace with that in this life time. This one broke my heart.

This!!! Imagine sitting in a coffee shop, or standing in the checkout line at the store with your blood sister and not knowing it?! And you can tell by their demeanor that they may have been raised without a lot of affection (not that they are bad people, they just don't show a lot of emotion). And to hear that their mother who died so young and so sudden bless her heart, was very affectionate just adds to the sadness of it all. But it's a blessing that they've had each other and now they have more family!

i love how the twin sisters always say "isn't it?" and look at each other for approval after saying something,you can tell all they've had in their live's was each other for real.

The Nigerian dad is such a sad story. He simply couldn't fulfill his promise earlier because he didn't have the financial means. So happy for his family.

I have watched Laura's story over and over. It is the most heart warming of ALL the Long Lost videos I've ever watched and I've watched all of them. What a wonderful story. I pray she met all her family.

I am an African and understand why a sad could not make the journey to the UK and yet afford to have 12 other kids.The exchange rate Naira to the British pound may be so high as to make it impossible for the average family to afford a ticket! Bringing up children in Africa is a lot cheaper and cost of education normally affordable! People with many often are able to have the older children look after the younger ones financially as well.During the fifties and sixties parents generally had many children only stopping when the wife could not conceive anymore.For example I was born when my 1st two sisters were already working and there is a 20+age difference between me and my eldest sister.

I was sadden to hear that the adopted twins never had a "happy/loving" upbringing with their adoptive mother. So happy that they know the truth of their biological mother's demise and that they were not the so called cause of her death, a burden they had carried all these years! GOD Bless...🙏🏽✝️❤
