Only three years ago, Laura & Hitomi entered into each other’s lives after discovering that they were biological sisters. Put up for adoption at a very young age, Laura was raised as an only-child, apart from her biological parents and siblings. Now after reconnecting, the two sisters talk honestly about growing up in different families, the questions that come accompany that, and the experiences they shared that make their bond even stronger.

I don't think it's because Hitomi is "more physically attractive" I believe it's because alot of people commenting actually watch her RU-vid channel and has prior insight on her as a person, like myself. She radiates positivity like no one I've ever met in my life. I would be her best friend in a heartbeat, people like her are rare.

The same thing happened to me. I was put up for adoption at birth and was raised as an only child. About 3 years ago, I got in contact with my biological parents. I am the oldest of 11 kids. It's literally awesome, and I've got the best 10 siblings I could've asked for. Of course it was shocking, but in the best way. I am a lucky person.
@NativeNYerChicHK
@NativeNYerChicHK 5 лет назад
Sam Martin I connected my 70yr old formerly childless uncle with a 37 yr old daughter he never knew existed! She is one of 12 of her bio-moms but was put up for adoption, her bio-mom isn’t mentally stable and battles addition. She only kinda kept a couple of the 12 kids, they endured an entire childhood in and out of foster care. Her adoptive family, very beautiful people who gave her an amazing loving home, also lived in the same NYC neighborhood as generations of my family, so I know of her from the area. She probably passed my Uncle, her dad, on the street hundreds, if not thousands, of times without ever knowing they were father and daughter. He moved to FL 10 years ago though. She popped up on my Ancestry DNA shares matched as a first cousin to me and I did the deductive reasoning to connect her to my Uncle. It also helps that now that I’m looking for it, it’s obvious, she’s his twin!!! They’ve met and bonded immediately, even with his wife who loves her as if she were her own daughter by blood. It’s been 3 years and they are all closer than ever, extended family too. I’m so grateful to have been a small part in ending her lifelong search for her bio-dad. It might have been impossible without Ancestry DNA. Her bio-mom gave her a fake name, I honestly don’t think she remembered who the dad could have been and the fake name to to save herself from embarrassment. It was the late 70’s and the time of free love, they only had a one night stand. My uncle had a drinking problem back then for a lot of years upon his return from Vietnam, he does not remember this one night stand but knows he had many during that time in his life. DNA doesn’t lie though, it forgets nothing LOL He got sober many years ago, so I think their meeting happened exactly at the right time. She’s a great addition to our family, we love her like she’s always been one of us. I mean, she was always one of us, only we didn’t know until now ❤️

Maybe it was an age thing, my parents were parents very Young and I suspect my oldest sister they thought of giving her and then with maturing they never thought of doing that with the other children. And you do something like that, maybe there is a guilt and sadness involved that is difficult for the Mother to reconect
@julieannelovesbooks
@julieannelovesbooks 3 года назад
This is all speculation but there can be a bunch of different reasons why someone would want to give up their child. Age is one thing. Another thing is if someone falls pregnant after being raped. and on and on. Imagine if you were raped, had the baby, and then every time you looked at your child you would see the sperms face, and potentially be back in the situation due to PTSD.

Natallz14 I wish it was that easy here too.. but in Japan it’s really like you’re either a Japanese person or a foreigner. And cuz I look like a foreigner they can’t get passed that.. You’re really only considered Japanese by blood. So even an American person of Japanese heritage who cannot speak a word of Japanese and has never been to japan is considered more Japanese than someone like me. To a lot of people it doesn’t matter that I’ve lived here all my life and speak Japanese as a first language , have Japanese mannerisms and opinions ect... because people judge just on the outside. Only people who’ve known me for a while understand that I’m Japanese ( not race , but by culture and ethnicity). It’s been such a struggle to grow up a foreigner in your own birth country. I don’t even like talking about where I’m from , I just say I’m from the city I was born in , but then a whole flood of questions ensue. Sorry to rant

This video is super healing for so many. It touches upon the siblings who stayed and those that did not. Returning back to your biological family years later may be a great gift to have missed things that would have never served your best self. Thank you for this realization.

Laura is so strong and she proofs to be so compassionate by doing this... I think this is so personal and must be such a sensitive subject for Laura, and probably she still has a lot of feelings and thoughts about being adopted by people who did keep other children to raise themselves...... I can’t imagine standing in her shoes and doing this video.

I just got into contact with my sister for the first time, so this video was definitely eye opening! I’m still so unsure of things to ask and what to say, what my boundaries are or how close we will become. Especially when you just want to dive right into being their sister, it’s hard with the lost time and different paths you’ve been on. 😓

I connected to this deeply and it’s interesting how many people have similar stories. My family was/is so close it was my dad, mum and little brother. 15 years flew by and my mother decided I was ready to learn the truth about my ethnicity and my family. She told me I had 13 other siblings and the man I knew as my father was I fact my step dad. He ‘adopted’ me when I was one. These girls are so brave hearing stories like my own make me feel less afraid to speak out. To express the anger, sadness but also the happiness of connecting with someone that shares half your genetic makeup. It’s a crazy experience but a beautiful one.

For me it doesn’t feel like they have a deep connection. It feels like they want one though. It feels like they’re saying cute stuff to each other to not make it awkward but I can see that Laura feels rejected and hurt but try’s to hide it and Hitomi can see that and doesn’t want to make it uncomfortable. I feel like there is an energetic wall between them. But maybe it is because they have to talk in front of a camera and that makes things more awkward as well. I was in TV too once and when I talked about my foster parents I was hella embarrassing.

probbaly because she wasn't cute, or was a troubled child, or the mother had a bad experience with the father that made the mother think of the father every time she looked at laura, people are pretty simple tbh.

Maybe she was young, troubled, homeless, not financially stable at the time. Maybe the father of the child or her own family made her. Maybe the father was already married, Maybe nobody knew she was pregnant, maybe she didn’t want a baby then. Endless possibilities.

Hitomi's home life wasn't the best with the family she grew up with, she's explained she was abused and she probably has mixed feelings about wanting to have grown up with her sister and not wanting her to experience what she herself had to go through 💗

My father's from Egypt and we live in Germany. so whenever we visited he hid her from us (her mum always wanted us to connect). My sister is from Israel. like 9 years later we have an amazing relationship. I'm her big sister and love to give her stupid ass advice

I'm now 21 and shes 37, and weve been talking every day straight for like 2 weeks and her life is so interesting and amazing! Weve talked about meeting up sometime in the future. I'm so happy i finally get to know her, I've wanted a sister my whole life❤ But like they said in the video, they got to skip the sibling arguing and fighting growing up so its a completely clean slate.🙂 I'm in WA and she's in NY. I cant wait to meet her 😊😊😊

Hitomi is the product of being blessed, loved, and protected....I hope all the people fawning over how pretty or personalble she is realize how and who society deems as worthy. There’s a lot of people out here who are living out lives that circumstance presented...we can all change or better our lives but it sure is a lot easier when your parents could wait until they were ready. these comments are just simple minded period
@floweringpeach1049
@floweringpeach1049 5 лет назад
Have you ever seen one of hitomi’s videos? she’s blessed, yes. All of us are blessed in some aspect. Im sure she had love but doesn’t mean it was the kind of love that she needed and protected, not necessarily, im aware she had abuse in her life with one of the men in her life and other experiences that put up plenty of guards and insecurities towards men that’s she overcome. You’re right in the aspect that everybody commenting is capable of such love and compassion but it seems that she developed these traits out of lack of them. Seems that she wanted to give others and herself the kind of love and warmth that she desired. Circumstances have everything to do with your growth but to continue to be a product of current environment is completely up to you. It will take work but the human potential for any environment is expansional. Have a beautiful day✨
@floweringpeach1049
