Rescued From A Romanian Orphanage: Who Is My Birth Mother? | Lost And Found | Only Human 

I felt so sorry for the adopted mum.. what a lovely lady.

The lady who adopted her is a wonderful ladyy.

Her adopted mother is awsome❤

Simona's adoptive mother is such a great mom!

We adopted our youngest daughter from an orphanage in Kazakhstan when she was nearly four years old. Our daughter is now 27 and to this day, I am so grateful to our daughter’s biological mother for giving our daughter life and for allowing us to be her family. I tell our daughter that her biological mother must have been an incredible woman to do this. I love and admire this woman I will never know.

This one just made me sob. As an adoptee so relatable. It was so beautiful to see the parallels with a sister on each side too. For those making judgments about the birth mom or adoptee, understand that adoption is a very complicated experience and try to hold their experiences in compassion rather than judgment

This woman is a sweet person who deserves to have adopted a child. ❤ She just wants her daughter happy. Nothing else matters.

I really hope that Simona studies the horrendous history of the 20th century in Romania in detail. She doesn't really grasp what could have happened to her and how developmentally deprived and stunted she would have ended up being without the adoption. The circumstances in these Romanian orphanages were absolutely detrimental to the health and development of the infants and toddlers abandoned there. She owes her life to her birth mother and everything else she received to her adopted family.

Life is never fair, Simona. I was always ANGRY about not being given up for adoption and being brought up by parents who didn't care about me or love me even though they were my biological parents.

She is so lucky to have found her mother !

I heard about these orphanages and Romania many years ago and was so disgusted by the photographs that people brought back. I don't know if she fully understands how incredibly lucky she was to get adopted so quickly.

This is the only show that makes me cry every time

As a mom of an adopted son from Bulgaria, I would support 100% my son meeting his biological family. He has not shown interest in meeting them but if he did I would support him. I would only worry about him being hurt if they disappointed him or rejected meeting him...that would be my only concern. Btw, if he did love them and become close to them I would not feel threatened because I am secure in his live for me as his Mom (like Simona's mom). ❤

What a blessing to meet even the grandmother! The adoptive mother is such a strong woman, and a true friend to her daughter. She helped even herself learn about Simona's past. Felicitari tuturor celor care-au fost implicati!

I love the maternal affection given instinctively by both women ❤❤❤ absolute love!

I cry like a baby. I hope day I'll find my son too and have a happy ending like you.

It is the most beautiful reunion I have ever seen. Simona’s birth mom is the best I ever seen. Hope they keep in touch for ever.

I hope she meets her full brother, and dad? that would be special.

Wow, so glad she got to meet her BM, can’t believe the similarities between Simona and her grandmother. Amazing adoptive mum too. May God bless you all and bring you much joy and peace.

This was truly an exceptional story

Simona's is a joyful reunion indeed with two loving mums, all her sweet sisters, and a grandmother too.💙😊

This brought tears to me...such deep emotion for Simona and her birth Mum. Also for her new half-sisters ! All praise to her.loving Kiwi Mum.. Wonderful story..

Quite a few Romanian adoptees from those orphanages were severely abused and had major adjustment issues, and those were the success stories. Such a tragedy all around.

I love the sweet adoptive mother, Happy to see her daughter founding her bio mom, supporting her on this journey. Happy ending ❤❤❤❤

What a beautiful reunion! So emotional 😭’

This show always makes me bawl like a baby!!! Just beautiful and beautifully done ❤

Not a dry eye in the audience. So beautiful!

I am in tears to see the re union of mother and daughter.

Hope it all turns out for both families ♥️😘🇨🇦

It’s no wonder she grew up angry about being removed from her birth country, with other kids highlighting her being different from them, telling her she should go back, etc.

She was Blessed with an amazing mom that raised her eell, very obvious there close. Good Bond's ❤🫂🙏🏽💙

I knew another family that the new man of the house hated one of the children because she wasn't his. When I heard that Maris had to give Simona up because her new husband didn't want to raise another man's child my blood boiled. it reminded me how Gary treated Charlotte. Honestly, its not the child's fault. They didn't ask to be born.

This was one of the most in-depth stories on these types of shows that I have seen! What an awesome story.

Beautiful story with a heartwarming ending. Happy for Simona.

Wow didn’t think I’d cry What a wonderful beautiful story!

You should feel extremely grateful that you got adopted and not left in that horrific orphanage … you may not have a life at all had you been left, with what they did with those children was hideous.

So emotional for everyone. Ive cried too. It is sad that people have to make decisions like this. Im so glad she did not have to stay in that orphanage.

I wonder if they are still in touch with each other today. Wish I could find out

I had tears streaming down my face when they were in the church together with the actual priest that baptized her. It's a lovely story and I'm so happy for Simona and her mums.

This is so beautiful and heartwarming to watch. There is so much love between these lovely people. Bless you all.

God bless you for giving us this story. The two mothers are wonderful. Mothers are such special people

For those who don't understand , Family Constellations has the answers on why people need to find their origins,their roots ,that what they are actually . Those orphanages were not an exception . Many countries can be "proud" of such terrible systems..... Children are the victims of horror stories everywhere on this planet, no exceptions. Paedophile victims of all walks of life ,from the richest to the poorest can confirm that "distinguished " members of the society (priests and others)did to them the unthinkable .Even boarding schools were ,maybe still are horror places for the most.Nuns were in so many cases perpetrators instead of educators........

How fortunate is Simona to have two Mom’s ❤ that love her so much !!!! I miss my Mom so much !!!!❤️

Beautiful😍😍✨❤ story. Mom's daughter meet again.

I was a hair dresser at kid's cut and knew a child adopted from Romania they called him Miles do to miles they traveled to get him He was such a great little joy of a boy. I always wondered what happened with him.

In Serbia during the 90-ies many babies were stolen from their parents. When a mother gives birth they would usualy stuff her with drugs and painkillers Then they would say to the mother :"your baby died" They wouldn't give the baby's body to the parents to burry it. They just said that the hospital does that. And the first days the cross with the baby's name would be on the grave spot where the baby was burried. But later the other cross were put there and the parents were told that that's not their child's burial place. The papper work from the hospital would be lousy filled. They were throwing their blame from one to another. Many parents are still looking for their children. In one show, once, a woman that usedtobe a flight atendant said that in those years some woman, few of them were often fly to Romania and Bulgaria with little babies who would be sleeping throughout the entire flight. All that was very suspicious to them but they were shut up by the bosses. Told to not to ask to much. And to not to pray where they shouldn't. It is painfull to see theese people crying and not knowing where their children were sold off to. There was probobly some ilegal chain of adoption service off of wich so many people gained profit.

I have been watching these videos for a while and this is the first video that made me really emotional. I’m glad everyone is happy. ♥️🙏

This one has me in tears!

Amazing program💕

When she said 'i have a sister' i felt bad for her adopted sister actuallly 😢

What a lovely episode to watch. Thank you so much.

I love this show and live seeing ppl reunited with their birth parents. ❤ It's such a beautiful thing

That bought me to tears what a lovely sep mum lovily family im pleased for her xx

For some reason it hurts my heart alittle for the Mom (the TRUE Mom, adoptive Mom) everytime they call Simone's birth Mom, Mom. There's nothing wrong with it, I just know that deep down that's got to sting a bit.

This is my FAVORITE Lost and Found!

She has a real Mother. A adopted mother who has been looking after her

Love of Mom 😢

I feel really bad for the mother who adopted her. She seems ungrateful for her. She would have nothing without them. She looks like Natalia grace.

Great video Daniel. Really enjoyed it. Charlie is always a laugh. Brandon sure doesn't waste any time. Ha! You can probably start the girls time to give birth-date down by the time you and Dejay get back home. Brandon will already have them bred. Can't wait to see those babies. Talk about some beauties. Packs and Fancy will enjoy all that grass at the merch bldg. We'll you'll have a lot going on. At least Dejay will be busy at merch bldg with her time. It'll make the months fly by faster before she has new babies. How far fetched is it that one of the girls could have twins? Is that even a possibility? That would be cool!! But she'd never allow them to leave the farm. Well, I'll get off that topic and let you get back to your editing. Have a great evening. Sending love to all the family from NC. God bless you all.

The love of a mother in the very worst conditions

My friend mandika was adopted from an orphanage in Romania when she was 4 on good Friday.

David Lomas pronounces Ceaușescu (Chou-shes-koo) as Chauchesky like it's a Slavic name. lol

Simona, welcome home!

Thanks!

Both of her mothers cared very much about Simona and wanted her to have the best future possible. Hopefully she comes to realize that.

Years of jou for all ❤❤

So the birth mom choose a man over her child, that's so sad and pathetic and kinda unforgivable. She had younger kids by this man but gave away a child she had already been raising , all because of this man not wanting her. He would have been kicked out, not my child . I know she wants to meet her birth mom but does she fully understand her birth mom gave her away just to keep a man ,who she didn't end up staying with.

so bea tiful to see 😍

Would love an update on these Only Human programmes

Thank you Lady Theotokotos for bringing Simona back to her biological family. I pray Simona will be able to embrace both of her families. Thank you Simona's guardian's angel. ☦️

Simona maybe should be grateful she was adopted out of there - it was deplorable conditions. Children were left by the thousands, they weren't all lucky to grow up in an adoptive home. Francis and her husband saved her. She has the ability to have a great life. And she is a whole person even if she couldn't see it that way. You tell your mind how to see it, not let your circumstances dictate it for you. Self love is equally important. It isn't found in others, it is found within. It becomes your unsinkable strength so, that if things go south elsewhere in life, you don't allow yourself to go south with it. We create our own reality with our own thoughts and actions. Glad she found her Romanian roots. 🙏💫❤💥

Ty for not just covering celebrities. Because not everyone cares where they are from of they are American.

I love Romania!

Iv got family somewhere in Romania there was a slavik girl found in or near Birmingham England of my ancestors no name yet but I know my Romanian ancestors where the first Romanian farmers and were Roma and also most of the Balkans Hungary Bulgaria ect stainbank Lombard wallace or Crawford are the family names if anyone reconises thoes names let me know

Wow amazing 😢😄

Happy for both families 😅

I noticed how her and her birth mom’s hair was the same colour.

I CANNOT imagine a woman giving her child away

adoptions from Romania were highly problematic, and eventually all adoptions to the US were shut down due trauma, violence, and having to return children because they had been so traumatized.

This is such an embarrassing part of our country’s history. I myself who was born and raised in Romania can’t believe this because I’ve never heard of something crazy like this. Romanian families love and protect their children. She might be a Gypsy and they are many careless with their children. Many highly educated people come from Romania. 🇷🇴 It’s unfair that something like this is shown on tv to put my country down.

I’m overwhelmed that you went through the verbal style abuse in New Zeland.

Awesome,, definitely would like to meet my biological mother

I’m confused… it sounds like she gave her daughter up because the man she married didn’t want to raise someone else’s kid… and then to be put in that god awful orphanage not knowing if she would get adopted…. Please correct me if I’m wrong… if I’m not… there is something very flawed with this woman!!!

❤❤

400 children at one time in there !!!!!!!! Are you kidding me ?!?!? Do these people not know about birth controll or pulling out , geeeeeesh!!!!!

Jej matka nie szukala synow i jej. Urodzila 6 dzieci. Dla mnie to nie jest normalne. SORRY

She seems quite ready to ditch her adoptive family and move to Romania...just a feeling I'm getting

God works in a mysterious way. He hears and answers our prayers, in his own time and in his own way.

I love this channel but please can we get rid of the background music. It spoils it all.

Simone should feel glad she was adopted. she escaped a terrible country, at that time very poor. Even her half sisters live in Germany, that says something and that poor mother can't even afford a necessary dental treatment.

❤

1 brother and 1 sister. is not a large family. Im 1 of 7 kids.

Why can't the mother meet Simona instead of having to watch the laptop?

Some women give up children and never give it a second thought.

I’m sorry that girl Simona is very self centered. What a lovely person the adoptive Mother is.

I think Simone is so ungrateful and a brat. My heart goes out to her adoptive Mom.

2 mums.God is good.🙋

i think you should have shown simona;s mother the message from her daughter when you first saw her.

Simona seems kind of self-centered and heartless toward her family (adoptive)

Can't say I am fan of simona, tad ungrateful. Adoptive mother is amazing
