The fact this she had no other children is crazy and now she has a child and a grandchild. Amazing..

@freshstart4423 2 года назад

How did DNA find a match, since the family had been looking for her, then DNA didn't reveal anything. They were located through a data base.

Why is having one child crazy?

I'm a birth mother to a beautiful almost 25 year old girl. Her adoptive mother has told me she has dealt with abandonment issues her whole life. I was too young to take care of her. It takes alot of courage to make the life altering decision to place a child in someone else's care. Happy Birthday (on the 11th) to LL. I love you with all my heart. I will be here when you're ready ❤

@sherrytolbird7983 2 года назад

I help adoptees find birth parents you’d be surprised how many adopted mothers do not tell children that they were adopted. LL needs direct contact with you. You should talk to her not through another party. Out of respect adoptees often wait too late to search. My one adopted man was like I got a bonus mother

A universe does not have the capability of orchestrating something like this. This was The Lord Himself. Please be respectful and give the credit to the one who watches and cares for all of us : Jehovah.

@breckrichardson390 2 года назад

They were united because of a DNA test and national database. Credit goes to the many brilliant minds that discovered DNA, developed means for testing and identifying DNA, conceived and created the Internet, and so forth. Without all these smart people who studied and worked hard and thought hard and used creativity, this would not have happened.

@veganmealpreps 2 года назад

@@breckrichardson390 if her son would have not suggested the thought of her taking a DNA test this wouldn’t have happened. I believe God gave the son the thought of the DNA test to go forth in finding her mother 😉 & the interesting part is that the Mother gives credit to God for bringing them back together in the Tamron show

Beautiful words from the adoptive mother. Some adoptive kids grow up feeling unwanted by their birth parents and develop all kinds of emotional and psychological problems. I wonder if the right words are told about their adoption would help them heal the way Lisa heard those words from her adoptive mother.

I did DNA ancestry to find my biological father, and my results came back with matches. At 49 yrs old, I saw my dad for the first time. Unfortunately, my dad passed in 2017, but at least I saw his picture on his obituary. We look just alike! I also saw I had 4 siblings! We have all met and I have met my dad's side of the family. God is TRULY amazing and I am forever grateful. Many blessings to you, your mom, family and to many new wonderful memories! ❤️🙏🏽❤️

I want you to know I watched your video and you are lovely ladies. I just met my birth mother for the first time in over 50 years at Christmas time in 2021. I searched for her while living in Los Angeles in 1989, and at that time she did not want to meet me. It has been a long emotional journey but I finally met her. My heart goes out to you and I am so happy for you. What a beautiful story.
