I never ever cry but I found myself crying like a baby when Rikki (sp?) walked with her younger sister to meet her family. What a beautiful ceremony, moment, and blessing for all involved.

My, I’m blown away that Mel and her father are so similar in their choice of lifestyle, I.e., hair style, tattoos and etc. I find that very comforting and I think it will be a huge benefit to their relationship; not to mention that her husband also fits this life type to a tee. I am sure this will continue to be a happy ending. If they weren’t so similar this could have been a big obstacle. Much happiness to them all from PA, USA.

Mel and her father have similar personalities and even styles of dress; that same sort of "punk" style too.

I’m not sure about the native people’s and cultures in New Zealand and Australia so this is very educating. I’m an American and we have lots of Native tribes here that have a horrible history in this country. But I don’t know how it was decades ago or half a century or more but nowadays children in the social services care that have Native heritage has to be turned in to the tribal councils for placement or decision making in that. I’m sure that’s what the same struggles in these Native cultures face that the government wasn’t very good at keeping them within their own communities or cultures. And by doing so they’re lost from any record keeping as well.

Does Australia not have any rules around who can foster a Mauri child? I mean it kind of is important to preserve the child culture and heritage.

@fionassharp 6 месяцев назад

This is in Aotearoa New Zealand, not Australia. The Maori culture is deeply ingrained in kiwis and pride comes from being a part of it whether Pakeha or Maori. It's unfortunate Riki's Pakeha whanau didn't know her lineage so in turn could not teach her and her Maori whanau rejected her based solely on her being raised by pakeha. I'm so happy for her that she has found her place with her whanau that love and accept her. She has found her place and has 2 families she belongs to now and can now learn about her heritage.

The last one hit me so much. I'm adopted. Unfortunately after the reunion it didn't go well and now my birth mother is gone. A week before I was set to meet my birth father's family my birth sister passed away and I met them all at her funeral. For me to have had the beauty that she did being so welcomed into the family and her culture would have had my whole heart rejoicing. I am so happy for her but my heart is torn watching the reunion.
