Yes indeed he was amazing 🙏🏽

My sentiment ecaxtly!!!

African m'en have to follow that examples how the husband takes care of his family's

@Grace Munich Yeah, after the cruel treatment immediately after birth, Abii is blessed to have a great person for a husband. She's blessed with wonderful children.....what else would a girl ask for?

Indeed, she deserves all the ❤️

A total keeper right?? ❤ what a beautiful wonderful story and a wonderful outcome for that beautiful abandoned baby boy 👶🏿🎉❤🎉

Momma Bear Absolutely right my dear. That’s exactly what came to my mind. God is amazing 😉

exactly

I was thinking the same thing ..look at God

Momma Bear GOD works in mysterious ways.... you are so right ...

Happiness kindness Really amazing kind God Almighty Creator!

Yesssss!! It was meant to play out the way it did.

😂😂😂👏👏☮️🇬🇧

Me too! They are all great! Every last one of them. Yes, much respect to the reporter! The village children really got to me. Just pure love shown and then sharing more love with this new baby boy! Only problem is I wish we could get an update on the family and how the baby is coming along.

Thank you very much.

All emotional The real mom is scared ,I love ❤️ to hear what she says about her abandoned baby.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 did you have to include that he has a job

@@keziamathuku1528 this is the most important wdym🤣

@@jodilucia765 🤣🤣 true

I can't lie. That's one hell of a husband. 😍

@@keziamathuku1528 wondering the same thing about this gold digging comment

Amen because they choose the child to become their parents.

Yes

I was adopted when i was 12 years old they are very special people

I dare say

Most of them are....I hope.

Amen ...God gave me a husband like this when I grow up

Versity Muthoni , he’s a good husband. Reminds me of my sweet super supportive hubby.

Purity Njoki , Have faith in that ask of God. Be patient, don’t settle, he’ll answer your prayers. He did it for me

So true!!! Real men are such Gemz!🥂👊🏾...

@@bernadettejohnson9165 .

😢I literally Had tears falling down when she said that

I know🥲 and the adoptive parents meeting her thought-to-be “real parents” was so sweet😭

I shade tears through out th episode.may sh find comfort

True but not in all cases sadly 😢

Ugh. White savior story

Me to! I couldn't leave him either ❤

Michelle Amato me too I knew right away that she was gonna do something about adopting him I wonder if she did I wish there was another video on this story

Me too

Michelle Amato same here. So glad she adopted him. She gave back to a child what her adopted parents gave her❤️💕💋love is always the answer🤗

I was thinking the same thing that God will allow are to adopt that baby, God is amazing her heart melt by holding that baby, life is full of ups and down but God got it

What other stories has he done? Please share.I agree he is actually one of the most normal reporters I have ever seen

The little boy after he was told he was a boyfriend.......his face got me

I love how involved he is! People have chosen professions depending on $$, but some chose according to their destiny! It def shows which one this journalist chose!😍

👍👍👍

Yeahhhh I love him too And he is similar to the singer Niall Horan

technically they are the only parents Abi knows.She just wants to know of her routes.

Absolutely

lorna maina roots*

Everything Nai The routes to her roots.

Dakota Xoxofashion they are the best parent ever

I prayed God's devine guidance to this family. Blessings 💞🙏

Yes God bless Them For every thing and for so much love

Yes. U r right. God will surely bless her adoptive parents a thousand times over.

I'm so grateful for her adoptive parents for the love they've shown her and incredible support from her lovely husband. God bless them.

@Grace Munich God is everything

I'd have taken him but me and my wife don't have the finances to adopt but more than enough to raise a child

Brett Kelly Wait...didn’t Abby and her husband adopt him?

Asabi Fatosin yes

I felt so sad when the dna test didnt match. Did they went back to adopt that baby? 🤔🤔

There is no such thing in zimbabwe called volunteering work trust me l am.zimbabwean through and through and no zimbabwean will work for free .the whole story just don't add up trust me.

Also if abi never went to australia this family would have told her to get LOST if the turned at there door step

They're the real heroes

Right how did the Texas Rangers find That particular famil

@I just got TANNED look.about the twine they don't say anything about the twin sister so why didn't they tell her the truth then after all the DNA PROVES she not the mother .

Her sister looks much healthier so so much for that better life.🥴

Exactly!”Better Life” by whose definition.

I saw that too

I noticed that too it was beautiful

Me,too😍

Brele will I’m still spoilt 😋

@@Rosalies_Nursery_Maria_K Me too!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

amen

Amen

May God help them return there family

Amen

Amen 🙏🏾

Yeah that was weird. I'm from UK and I can't imagine ever talking to a black person and telling them 'you sound like a true brit' 😂. Like obviously if you've been raised around 99% British folk you will sound just like us.

Yeah It’s kind of racist/xenophobic because they assume all Australians are white but the natives are the complete opposite 😂 just like on every other colonized continent

@@Shortcvke I don't think I'd call it racism just ignorance.

Toni I said xenophobia as well, all in all it’s discrimination on some account. Racism doesn’t have to loud and aggressive there’s things such as micro aggressions and this one of them

@@Shortcvke oh sorry I should have mentioned I was meaning this interviewer. He's definitely dumb but I don't think it's from a place of Ill will or badness.... Just stupidity 😂

Did Abby and her husband adopt the abandoned boy baby?

@@lynnrogersma79 they intend to adopt

Lol 😂 I loved he’s answer!! He’s were serious!!!

He refused like "nooooop😼" 😹

In Africa, younger kids hate it when someone claims they are their husbands/wives. I used to be same.

Little boy is like, "sir that's my cousin!"

Benediction Garcon same😂 I would cry when my mom said I was somebody’s wife😭😭😭

She moved to Queensland at 7, not as a baby

Lynn Moses She was adopted by her parents in Queensland at two months.

BigDreams CAB sure thing

No she wasn’t. It clearly stated she was adopted over in Africa and lived there until she was 7 before moving to Australia

Hayley McCure They said she was in Queensland from the time of two months. Regardless of being adopted by her family, she was already in the area.

They are our own.🙂

Exactly 💯❤️👍🏻👌🏻

Beautiful n lovely song when a child cares for their parent knowing the pains they been through this is the result very well said 😂 n keep loving mama ur blessing will greatly apriciated blessing is high high high 😂one love ❤

I laughed at his expression even tho it was a frightening statement to him.

😂😂❤

I screamed my laugh because I was truly NOT ready for the look on that baby's face while shaking his head and saying a strong no, a few times🫶🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏾

That was too cute ❤

no way was that little playa getting tied down haha

Janice Raby me too 😂

Me too😂🤣😂

He wasn't having any part of it!

Same 😂😂

😂

My mum and dad are very special people..

So did I cried all way thru this film. In America so any of us don't now that side of our family's from Africa.😭

Sierra, believe me, that is exactly what I thought, and ofcourse prayed for in my heart. Thank you Jesus it happened. She wot be denied.

I believed that too. I thought, 'hello, this beautiful little man just found his mummy.' ❤❤❤

I thought the same exact thing!!

🎯👍🏽 me too

Me as well and he is a beautiful baby.

I thought the same thing

Awesome isn't it

But she still was family because she is the niece. I wonder if they all knew

​@@spiritualjourney7619 Yea they all knew. Did you see her show the results paper to her supposed dad in the car?

I cried sooo much

Me too...tears

i am not crying... i was watching this while preparing lunch and it included onions... no crying here :)

I cried a lot

I cried but I think I went through all the other emotions as well. Anger at that idiot trying to cover his incompetence over the DNA blunder with his hoax attempt kidnapping, the probable real mother refusing to take a DNA test but a degree of sympothy for her as well because she was only 14 at the time and probably scared out of her wits. Happy that after traveling all that way it was not for nought; they are still family and I'm betting her biological mother will come clean one day when she's ready and I have hope that all will be forgiven. Joy (oddly) at thinking she was stolen and not dumped on the side of a road as she believed for 38 years to find out she very well may have been dumped at the side of a road. She got a new born BABY that she saved from EXACT situation!!!! I pray he grows up wonderful and BLESSES them. Oh my God I can go on and on because this truly was a rollercoaster that you had to grip with both hands. I'd just like to add that I think she is such a beautiful woman inside and out. I can imagine what an adorable baby she was. Who wouldn't want that woman for their own daughter? She's marked for success. God bless her! And God bless that wonderful man she married! What a story! ❤️🙏❤️

Yep, definitely a part 2 is needed...many unanswered questions, like did the first Dr deliberately falsify results and why? Was there some kind of understanding between that Dr and the family in Zimbabwe? It seemed Abii had a gut feeling something didn't sit right or else what prompted her to do a second DNA test?

@@ogalaali4439I'm sure that Doctor did exactly what you are suspecting. All the lies that he told about the reporter. Shame on him. He will never have peace due to his allegations and lies.

Definitely part 2 is needed

That's a fact,coming from an adoptive life,i can attest to this...

Yes they are all of them 💕💕

Stunning

Amazing story... in the end we praise God🙏🙏🙏

Very much so.

Beautiful ❤️

They got nothing else to do.

@@cathythorpe926 what an ignorant thing to say.

@@cathythorpe926 I think it's you cause your obviously commenting something that it's not necessary. You have nothing do in your life I guess, what a waste.

There is a free meal involved too

@@haiwatigere6202 that’s not true at all. My late uncle had an illegitimate child who my granny discovered in 2017. She was besides he self with joy my granny. Told the whole village and the whole village woke up to wait for her 6am bust to arrive to welcome her!. She doesn’t have much at all. If anything my granny helps her out from time to time. She refuses our help (she has a lot of pride). The more the merrier is the attitude

That is the soul of Africa, everything listens and gives us it's own instruments

you have to be fairly intelligent to make an instrument

@ISADORA MORI ALIAGA Please tell me what white culture is even remotely close to the African????

@ISADORA MORI ALIAGA wtf is you talking about.

Beautiful culture? People will sell there soul, “or yours” for a dollar. Life is cheap, dog eat dog mentality with most being able to lie straight to your face if it means something for them. The DNA company couldn’t even be trusted. Like all undeveloped countries, human desperation creates desperate often depraved people. What’s beautiful about that. It’s amazing the romantic view you’ve gotten from your cosy safe armchair.

Yes very very nice and heart feeling Reporter 👏✋👍🙌💯💜💓🍸

Words and Action of the unconditional love is evident ! She is a beautiful woman and her parents did an amazing family.

Who am I. You choose me and messed up my life because of who I am. I guess this is supposed to be a good thing. I had the life I wanted without your help. Start this so I can show you who I really am.

❤️

Amen

Not always luv

It's well documented that it causes untold damage to the children.

Have you ever heard of the term “white savior complex”?

I quite agree this was your real journey!

Exactly. That, it was

Yesss😂😂😂😂😂

Amelia Phillips trust me😂 😝

Because they are possibly cousin

the most awesome moment in the whole show....

Lol like he couldn't believe it. He was probably like, "hell no, am a darn kid!"😂😂😂😂

I was waiting to see a comment like this; I need more of this story...I have so many more questions, I need an update...I'm freaking out. Make the damn movie or netflix series already!!!

My question is who is her father? It seems to me that if she is related to one of the siblings but they don't have the same mother, then they must have the same Father. So it would appear the hush up is because the related daughter's father had sexual relations with the one she believes is her mom. Does this sound probable to any one else. I loved this video and I cried like a baby!!!

Joseph Musembi I’ll be 101 I hope it’s me

I will be here by the special grace of God in 2054 in Jesus Christ name! Amen

@Connie Ward so You're 67?

I'll be ready to meet my maker by then

Joseph Musembi me

Africa is a Continent, not a motherland. It has over 60 countries. Just saying

What do you mean by "better" parents? From what I saw the parents who adopted her were good parents to her. God made it necessary for her to find the other side of her family. He works in mysterious ways.

Do you think it could have been an incest issue or a case of a teacher taking advantage of a student?

@@TheQueenIsWithin That was my first thought. If it was her grandfather who is actually her father that is something many families would never admit to. It is way more common than most think

Yes! Better Parents,better Life too with a Good husband. if she Grew up in Zimbabwea I'm just wondering/thinking what will happen to Her,maybe a Hard Life & won't able to be Lived a Comfortable life (Sorry! 4 My English) "Everything happens 4 a Reason" I think it's 4 her own good. Btw Comparing to Zimbabwe Australia is like a Paradise

@@samyichawngthu8028 Exactly what i meant. She is blessed she grew up in Australia than in poverty stricken Zimbabwe.

That's what I was thinking. Who is cutting those onions, they are so strong.

I am 😢😢😢

Them Damned NINJAS!!😂

Jazzmine I know right 😭

I cut a bag of them...what an incredible story

Reportee spent hours and in jail by that THUG!!!

He has the kind eyes of someone who is spiritual. Just beautiful like an old soul. Wish he would be a news anchor for American networks. He has a warmth that we all need in the divided crazy place where we now. Too many Americans forget we are a nation of immigrants, and this reporter who is from another country, just as our ancestors, could see both our beauty and our contradictions.

I was glued to this story. I cried when Abbie got the bad news. I hope one day her family will tell her the truth. I think the guy who is in charge of DNA wants to keep the family secret, but he did not have to come across as an a-hole. And when another baby was found abandoned, it makes me wonder if the families knew. I am praying that the truth comes out, and that everyone will accept it. But they have to stop with all these secrets. Abbie and hew new son deserve much, much more.

something fishy about him...

I found him irritating - too pushy trying to get emotional responses to questions. Also, overly familiar, such as when he was hugging her and calling her 'darlin' or something like that I believe she didn't like it and pulled away.

Shawn Ben I loved that too, Did you see his serious face though? he wasn't taking it lightly 😂🤣😂

😂😂😂😂😂

Same.. 😂😂😂 i freakimg said it randomly like 3 times after that part.. His face tho...............💗💗💗💗💗💗

Kalee Johnson funniest moment

And the little boy was very mad that he said that! It was a beautiful moment.

@@abigailprangs1737 Did your family adopted that 2 weeks old baby boy from that hospital? Also, I believe Elizabeth is your biological mother. She's probably ashamed. Do you have an update on that?

2022 ❣️

Yes indeed???? I hope and pray 🙏❤️ I would love to hear update on the adoption???? ❤️💕💓🙏

I also would like to know how the adoption went. It would be lovely coz this couple has girls only (correct me if I'm wrong), so a male child would be a good addition. K

How I just wish the Lord will bless me by reuniting me and my darling princess as I have been dying to see her

@@mzomanci6322 they have a boy! it looks like he"s their oldest child, that's him getting out of the vehicle @18:17

Yes to that

Nakia Bush yes please we will like a movie about this story 🎥

Yesss

Tyler Perry studios

Yes she should make a movie 🎥 about her story 🎥 it would be awesome

Kia,something strange about your Eyes girl.

The disgust!

Ham prays every 2020

Amen

Very true, if the DNA hadn't match she wouldn't have gone in time to meet the abandoned boy. God works in mysterious ways

Gladys Wambui He does indeed! ❤️

I never thought of this until I read your comment. This is soo true. This was all for him ♥ blessed.

This Zimbabwe,stop your ignorance & lazy learn the countries on the continent + the nationalizes+ ethnicities+ religions… I bet ya wouldn’t like it if we called “North Americans” .

you verry well explained it

@@Kc-qe5dv why are you triggered love? We get called Americans when there is north and south America. Is Zimbabwe not in Africa? Take a deep breath and let it go.

@@vieldarobinson6068 Sweetheart, y’all are called Americans because your country is called “United states of America” instead of north-America(which is where the USA is located on, north and south america are two different continents therefore Amerca is not a continent but an abbreviation of the USA). For example the citizens of United Arab Emirates are called Emirates. But It’s understandable you’re poor in geography.

@@Kc-qe5dv you didn't answer my question. Is Zimbabwe not in Africa? We don't care about being called Americans is my point. I'm from one of the Americas so I wouldn't be insulted by that. All the insulting is unnecessary. Again why are you so triggered by a comment that isn't inaccurate.

Mamaaudri thank you so much

@@abigailprangs1737 heartbreaking story but a beautiful ending. Congratulations on your beautiful family and wishing you lots of love and best wishes from North Wales. Have you managed to adopt the little boy? Jim

@@abigailprangs1737 did you manage to adopt little Jim?

Abbi is BEAUTIFUL!

Yes same thing I was thinking.

Yes. Everything seems fated. Especially with Lorraine being her relative, yet Edna is not her mum.

I read Abby wasn’t allowed to adopt the little baby boy because the government of Zimbabwe made it near impossible. That’s heartbreaking. I Hope he’s doing well.

@@QUEENBEE200384 oh that's so sad shameful. She would had been a wonderful mother to him, plus she was meant to be his Mom.

I believe things happen for a reason! Yes, I think your right!! I pray that your right. That little baby is in my prayers, and I feel in my heart that he has a beautiful woman Abi, that will help his journey! Amazing!

YES HE IS GOOD ALL THE TIME🙏🏼🥰🙌🏼

Tasheika Patterson wow am jamaican as well dis was a very sad tale wat if it is her Zimbabwe father got one of de his wife sister pregnant cause she was talking to dat lady den de lady was taken away in a pick up truck .dig dis all my life as a negro jamaican I av never felt connected to africa negro jamaicans r not african we only jamaican by birth negro jamaican are of bibical times do ur own research one love

I think her birth mother is the lady who refused to do a dna she was young out of wedlock n got rid of her

It Saddens me the Secrets Family Keeps . I found out a Year ago my Cousin ( Favorite to be exact) is my Blood Sister with my Dad and She’s my Cousin on my Moms Side . It tore her apart at first. My Family has been giving away kids to sisters and Aunts for so long . 😔

😢this story made me 😭

Exactly......and she was there from a baby so of course she will have an Australian accent.duhhhh

Exactly 🤦🏾‍♀️

I pray that Abbi found her mother. I think they're trying to push the biological mother away so that they can have the attention....smh

Why y’all have to be negative about everything🤷🏿‍♀️He clearly didn’t mean it in bad way🤦🏽‍♀️

Truth and how is she suppose to sound? PEOPLE! PEOPLE! 😲😱😞😉

I did too.

He is just as awesome as Abbey’s husband really chilled.

He has a heart of Gold and sensitive

Definitely!!

Yes. Very compassionate. Sadly, you wouldn’t see that demonstrated in the U.S.

Are you all serious? He's ignorant about race and racism (no surprises as many white Australians are like this). Why did he ask her where she got her Australian accent from when shes been their from since she was a kid????? Wtf?!?

He legit almost got sent to prison for her, he was absolutely willing to fight.

Alyson Destiny His last name is Mugabe - corrupt to the core. Talking about him would be a waste of energy.

Ooohhh yeah Zimbabwe has corrupt people

Alyson Destiny yes lying causes harm. He made up a corrupt story and got him charged

@@dithunyasalani every nation does. which doesnt make corruption good at all.

I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HIS PART IN THE DNA TESTING AND IF THAT BUSINESS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ADOPTION/BLACK MARKET BABIES FROM THE BEGINNING. THEY WERE SO MANY BABIES BORN A DAY IT WOULD BE EASY TO STILL SOME OF THEM IN SUCH A SMALL VILLAGE. FROM AFRICA TO AUSTRALIA...

Me too

I was thinking the opposite of the reporter. I found him pushy and annoying - very clearly pushing for tears!

No warm reception for black Americans, funny enough

I liked the host, I think he is so compassionate

I cried

i cried

Me too 😭😭😭😭😭

Tears, Tears am from Antigua my mom eldest daughter was taken away from my mom by her dad. For years she never knew what happened to her child, is when she was grown she found my mother. I had a child at 14 and no way did i give up my son or any other of my children. Africans they keep secrets would never let Abie know what went wrong, i meet them in England where ..my said sister was taken. i would like to one day meet her and her family, she is such a God sent here on earth and her hobbie he is just as her. god is good all the time, am grateful she did not go to Africa and did not achieve any thing .She is bless with a beautiful baby .God bless her home such beauty deserve the best she and her family.

Abby Christensen still trying . Such a long process.

@@abigailprangs1737 What a beautiful little boy...I pray that it works out.

@Abigail Prangs , I am praying for you, I know that all will work out. You may or may have not meet your mother, but you found an additional family. God had a plan for you to encounter that baby that need you. The moment you hold him my heart ❤️. Very emotional. God bless you, your adaptive parents, your husband and beautiful kids. Doing and ancestry DNA and going to Africa is on my bucket list.

Wonder how long before little boy is in bathroom wanting to be white? Yuck

Kim Wright well that comment makes NO sense 🙄

I hope so for her sake, but somehow I doubt it

I kind of felt that feeling as well. Whether that's the case or not, I pray that God will give her peace & comfort.

At a very young age the mother gets pregnant, then is forced to 'get rid' of the baby. I think the dad is a powerful man who will do anything never to be found out, so the DNA results are cooked to ensure no more snooping around. But that doesn't exactly go according to plan does it..

No I do not believe they told her anything. Fourteen years old girl had a baby girl that was taken away and dumped by hospital. The family “mother” wont ever tell what happened. Beautiful family members but she heard enough. Somethings are best left unsaid.

Families never tell the truth they go to their grave with lies

Me too

The facial expression got me laughing

😄😄😄😄😄

Me too.

Lol lol lol

it's proof that all little boys are the same no matter what race. I can hear the same coming from any little boy. So so darn cute and hilarious.

ShadeyBangs Have got boyfriend because I need a girlfriend, lol

😂😂😂

He was so serious 😂😂

Ahahaha
