Finding The Dad I've Never Seen Or Spoken To | Lost & Found | Real Families 

The Māori father showed his unconditional love to his long lost daughter by giving her royal traditional ceremony and a loving welcoming with all the extended family… because that’s his daughter and he wanted everyone to know : the ancestors and spiritual world and the whole world . That’s very important and noble what he just did. As his first born child she has greater mana inherited at birth.

Isn’t this reunion beautiful! Can you imagine meeting your Heavenly Father and He welcomes you into his home with all His angels! Wow what a day that will be!

The second search, the lady had so many relatives. They were all queuing up to get hugs & kisses.

The hakka gave me chills. To see her embraced by her culture she doesn't even know much about is awesome. God is good. I wish them many yrs together 😊

Haka is so moving. I can't imagine a more powerful welcome home to her. Bless her.

Melissa's husband is a good man. She's blessed. I'm glad she found her Dad.

Wow this was amazing! The Maori family's story pulled at my heart n I was tearing but when the Haka part came I just cried for her n her connection with her beautiful culture and family.

OMG! I'm crying like a baby over here. The second story is so sweet. I am beyond happy that her dads family loves her so very much. Shame on her mothers family for rejecting her because her skin wasn't dark enough for them.

To be rejected and be welcomed like a queen on the other part is just beautiful

Mel's husband came across as a very loving, kind and caring person ...a person who cares about his wife;s happiness ..a big hearted guy...that is what impressed me about this video this time

When Rikki said she just wanted them to think of her as theirs my heart shattered into a million pieces. I wish her and her beautiful family all the best

Being of Maori descent and white Australian descent and coming out with tanned skin I was always not dark enough to really feel accepted by my Maori side and too dark to really fit in with my Australian side. So I did me and found my own family and fight on. The struggle is real for mixed blood children. 💜

To me, Tahae Tate is the perfect definition of a true, honest and respectable man. Rikki meeting her whole Máori family was so incredibly touching and emotional. Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story. I wish the Tate family all the best for their future and years of happiness and contentment.

This is so great. Really loved the second one especially. So sad she was worried they wouldn't love her because of her mother. Shame on her mom for doing that to her.

Mel looks just like her dad. They have so much in common. Her husband seems to have found the perfect father in law. Rikki's welcome by her father was very emotional. What a welcome !

What beautiful beautiful people with the warmest of welcomes 🥰 Im so happy that Ricki belongs to this lovely family ❤️

Rikki's story grabbed my heart! So lucky to be embraced by Fathers family!

That was so moving. Especially when the Maori dad said they always new of her spirit and that he had always been her dad. That got me.

I am so very impressed with the Maoris! This is what family is meant to be. So much love for each other!

How wonderful that her people welcomed her in their traditional way! Ooh it made me fill up!💗

So glad she finally found the love from her whanau and everything turned out for the best.

These type of shows always bring me to tears,, because out there somewhere I have a half sister whom I by some quirk of fate, I believe I actually met , she looked so much like my other half sister. I had no clue that my mother had given birth to another child, she did, but adopted her out. This woman told me that she was adopted. We attended Arthur Phillip High’ s “ night School” studying typing and shorthand , in 1965. I wish with all my heart that I could find her

That welcome ceremony was probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I long for this kind of love and big family. I have my family and I adore them, but we’ve all grown and moved and it’s not like that close culture where everyone is together. I cried happy tears for the whole family.

What an amazing homecoming welcome for Wikitoria. I can feel their joy. These people are wonderful. What a rich culture they have.

tears fell down my cheeks , the welcoming ceremony of the lost and found princess , she came to a very warm community , strong beautiful warm intact culture , wow .

Here I am feeling the same joy and tears Ricki was feeling specially with that Hakka.. Finally, she will be appreciated as a person. God Bless her.

Really beautiful story about Ricky. She has such an open, beautiful face. Her father has great dignity and now she has a proud and loving family.

After all of the heartache, rejection and pain that she went through as a child, I am sure that the welcome from her own people was the most powerful experience of her life. It moved me deeply and I am just watching the footage. What a beautiful family. She deserves all of the love and affection that she is going to receive from now on. ❤️❤️❤️

Riki, best family reunion homecoming ever!!!! I felt like I was celebrating with all of them! You could just feel the sense of love and heartfelt soul bonding! Melissa and her husband definitely soul mates.

The only thing that REALLY SUCKS about this particular series is that I can barely see the last couple days because my eyes are so swollen from crying while binge watching these incredible reunions! Unfortunately, I can relate all too well to the heartache of having a biological father who didn’t take any time or energy to get to know me until I started gaining serious recognition as a professional arena touring/recording drummer like he strived, struggled & failed to be during the 60’s & 70’s... Sadly, heroin addiction destroyed SO MANY dreams & lives at that time, including my father....Sadly, this curse continues to destroy lives & generation after generation to this very day😳... May God Have Mercy On Us ALL🙏✝️🙏

The first story the husband is happy with his wife meeting her dad😍

I cried so much for Ricki and Tahir's story....may they have many more years together!!!

Beyond words and so emotionally moving. The Maori Welcome Haka was so powerful, have never seen anything like it. Absolutely soul-stirring and so spiritual. Wow! She so deserved such a royal welcome, I felt honoured to even witness it on video. The lady before me commented that she was crying like a baby, the tears were pouring down my face too. That was some HAPPY ENDING! Well done everyone. Absolutely beautiful. These stories are all so magical and absolutely riveting, I find it quite surprising they all evoke such an intense, overwhelming emotional response. I hardly ever cry but there is something about the parent-child relationship that has unique purity. It perfectly demonstrates unselfish love with no ulterior motives attached. Thank you for sharing these intensely personal moments and experiences, they are like a spiritual peep into the Heart of God. Bravo! Amor Vincit Omnia.

The second one brought tears to my eyes.💗

Lovely women finally getting the answers they need from their fathers. The last one was such a beautiful reunion. Feeling really loved can make such a difference in a soul,

I'm so happy for Ricky to have found her family that welcomed her so beautifully in the Maori way. Not only does she have a family now but also her culture. Very heartwarming

The Maori ways are so beautiful ..Ricki deserved to have her family and learning her Maori ancestry and traditions❤💜

Cried like a little baby 😭. I love the feeling of connecting with their long lost family ♥️

The last story is the best for me. She really belong to a family she never thought she had. # happy for you

Ss happy for both girls finding their Dads. Love and Light to all.

You can literally see the song healing her heart

Seeing her husband crying for happiness is so touching. At least she is blessed having a loving husband.

Before this episode, I actually thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if two people approached one of these shows looking for each other." It was!

This is for me one of the most impressive reunions ever , so warm and welcome.

This was awesome d connection n bonding of her father n siblings, I was overwhelmed, God bless u n ur family

When I heard the Hakka I’ll start crying. OMG!! Beautiful 🌷🍃 God blessed this family

Omg im crying like a little baby,,im so happy for finding her father i just ill find my dad 1 day

Beautiful outcome ❤️ I’m so happy to see them come together as family.

It is so nice that you get so many people together with their love ones God bless you Sir

I feel the love and pride in both of these families ❤️❤️ God had a plan🙏🏼🙏🏼

Can’t stop crying watching this. Happy she found her new family. Hope one day I will find mine too. Blessings.

This is my favorite episode of this show. Rikki’s homecoming and Mel and Luke’s love for one another are both so special in their own ways.

Mel, always remember that parents are not without blemishes, you are a beautiful person and remember it came from somewhere. I'm so happy for you and dad.

As a 9 year old child living in Australia 53 years ago my class at school studied everything Maori for 4 months......The culture, art and history fascinated all of us and was a very inspiring class project. Being an indigenous Australian this class gave me the impetus to delve into my own amazing Aboriginal background.

Unfortunately Tahae Tait passed away on 25/06/2018. I hope she had a good time left with her dad, he clearly loved her so much. What an amazing story, I’m still crying. 😢

I cried so much this was so beautiful I’m glad she found her family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

what a coincidence..daughter looking for father, and father looking for daughter..and they asked the same program to help them.

A blessing to come into her heritage and a majestic welcome by her people, a true testament of family, god bless y'all..amen

27:05 How heart-warming. Two very powerful words "You belong". 39:25 Fantastic.

the first father and daughter look just alike so wonderful they reconnect.

Lovely story and a welcome to remember. A whole new family at the Marae

They all have lovely hearts the Maori family. So kind🥰

Best episode yet !! Beautiful to see families reunited in such a wonderful way. Blessings to all.

I'm so happy for her, she really blend with them. Finally. Godbless

Tow beautiful finds! I wish both families all the very best with their future journeys with much happiness!

Wow.., this Maori culture is awesome..What a way to welcome a daughter if the soil.. and the Hakka song and dance was amazing...

I could not stop the tears. What a beautiful honor the Tate's showed his 1st born. They welcomed her in with such pride. I felt their hugs and the love they have for her. I would love to see their journey. When Rikki takes her family to meet and be welcomed in like Rikki was. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I cried for Wikitoria (?). I really cried for her and her ohana.

The second story omg😭😭, so moving. I'm so happy for her 😭❤️❤️

Ricky’s story is hands down, THE BEST EVER! What lovely people all the way around! 🥰

THat second story is Sooooooooooooo Beautiful - Could not stop crying - Really Beautiful

I am bawling- This is so Beautiful

Just watching this brings an energy of pride in the Maori culture. What wonderful, spiritual people they are. I'm Welsh, and always loved watching NZ play rugby, they are a class above.

This was so emotionally beautiful to see. Bless Ricki’s father for honoring her in the welcome ceremony to his family 💕💕 So, so , heartfelt, I cried through the entire ceremony 💕

Love all these lost and found souls eventually reuniting. Very emotional and touching indeed.

I loved this one. It was so heartwarming. I just wanted to see more LOL.

I am always overwhelmed by these reunions and how the loving Father of all mankind (though many do not know Him as that ) would make the way for children to meet their parent and vise versa...He is in the midst of this that's for sure

Just beautiful to get such a warm welcome

The second story…wow so powerful…

Glad they finally made a move to walk and meet their sister.

This story of family touched me more than any of the others! Thank you, and I hope she has prospered within her heritage. Amazing!

Can't stop crying, beautiful reunion ❤

Just brought me to tears...Just amazing

This is the first video/show of Lost & Found that I have ever watched. I am in tears. They are all so fortunate to have found and accepted one another.

The Māori family was the most touching most beautiful, heartwarming and emotional family welcome. Loved it felt extremely happy for her and her beautiful family.

I know nothing about the Maori people except for what I have seen on this show, and I am so impressed by their beautiful culture. So much love. This video is very moving.

This is such an amazing and inspiring story Rikitoria is soon blessed with a fantastic family on her dad's side
