Please remember that adoptive parents are every bit as real as biological. They are there on the ground loving & nurturing the child. I do agree that the stories of tragic separations and reunions are really fascinating and heart wrenching.
Wonderful story. Thank you for sharing it. Please let us know how and where can we see the film. Wish there were more of such stories to tell. Again, Thank you!
I hope that documentary gets to be shown in Australia wuold love to see it! I love stories with a happy ending. My Heritage is very useful
in such research. Great stuff Irene IsonI just recently found out I was adopted at the age of 70. My mom who is my bio mom kept it a secret that my dad adopted me when I was 9 months old. Big shock! Anyway, I have been looking ever since and have done two YDNA test and one regular DNA. Finding lots of names I don’t recognize. I think my quest is futile. All I have is a name that she is not sure of.
Moving story. As my grandparents perished in the Holocaust I never even seen a picture of them . Working on the family history at least I found a picture of my grandmother’s brother …very emotional
Stories like this have tremendous historical importance. This article and the film should be archived in a Shoa site like Yad Vashem or Stephen Spielberg’s Shoa project. Where can the film be seen?
What a wonderful story. I was truly getting chills reading it. Great work! :-)))
Thanks for the great work you’re doing to unite families – these efforts uplift and inspire!
What a great reward for the historians who persevered and brought this family together. Congratulations to all concerned.
This was a touching story it hits home my sister was looking for her children for over thirty years, no one would help her she went to many places that she thought would help her but they declined. I would have loved to meet them but I guess not. I’m proud to hear what you are doing for people.
Although you are unable to do many requests for assistance in searching for family, it is very kind of you to do the occasional one that might never be solved if you didn’t help. I enjoyed this story so much.
A heart warming story. Wonderful work by MyHeritage. Well done.
What a wonderful heartfelt story. This can happen so many years later. I have been delving into my fathers side of the family. I had been looking for a connection how some of our family got to England. I do believe I found the answer after much work. I never knew my grand father or if he had a sibling. After much looking over records and emails I finally found the link. I am so great full these two brothers found each other and their mother.
Great news and best wishes to all,,,,, Thanks MyHeritage for finding and bringing
this family together,,,,,,, wonderfulWhat an incredible heartwarming, inspiring, uplifting and (more than anything else) moving story! Many kudos to MyHeritage for all the volunteer hours it took to bring about this result. Combined with the truly outstanding customer service I have received from MyHeritage, this strengthens my resolve to continue to work with MyHeritage on my own genealogical quest.
A great story.
In 1995 prior to My Heritage, my late husband David and I began with the LDS Family Search records. They were the only source of Social Security Death Index at that time. The only info my husband had was his Father’s birth date, his Parents had separated in 1934, passing on the story that they were divorced (not) and that the son David had died (not). Father died in 1981, Mother died in 1983. LDS guided us from SSI to the (Dallas) Texas death certificate, next to send for the obituary that listed the Fathers first and second marriages with two children each. Sadly the oldest son passed away two years earlier, but the sister lived in Melbourne, FL was always in touch with (Ray) the children of the second marriage. (Baby sister deceased). We all met in Melbourne, FL for our first reunion. March 1996, meeting with many wonderful nieces and a nephew. The new family was amazed that David was very much alive. We all keep in touch. Another Happy Ending.
Fantastic story! Thank you for sharing – so cool it is a documentary too. What fun it must have been for those doing the research – kudos.
Last year my 70 year old husband met his 2 half brothers and this year a half sister that he never knew existed. He was born during the second world war and was in his twenties when he found out he was adopted. It was just by chance when I started to research his family that a distant cousin in Australia put a photo on line of his birth father. The resemblance was unmistakable. After contacting the owner of the photo he agreed to make contact with the family who never knew of their older brother’s existence. When they met it was instant recognition. Now he has an enormous family history. A very happy and satisfactory ending.
I thought this was a wonderful find & i was so pleased to hear that the family were brought back together.
what a heartwarming story and ending there is still good people in this world
lovley story i also have a sad story not resoveld
so it warms my heart to see such ahappy endingLife is beautiful and full of miracles. Never give up the quest.
This story brought tears to my eyes, God bless everyone involved uniting this family.
Such a wonderful outcome it’s gives me the strength to continue our family search. My mother was adopted and always wanted to find information about her birth mother. We have the adoption records with the bio-mother’s name, but I could never find any thing else out. My mother has since passed away & I am 81 yrs old, but with all the new technology I am going to start researching again.
A real story. unbelievable usually but believable in the holocaust circumstances. My grandfather Natan Netah Copelman died in 1942 in Iasi, Roumania. I know nothing about him nor his polish family, but I have a dream: may be somehow I will find details about his life before coming to Roumania from Polan. Such stories found by My Heritage are real MITZVOS .
Thank you to everyone who persevered in the quest to unite a beautiful family. May everyone out there find peace in the unknown and keep the spirit alive.
I am very blessed and lucky to have been able to unite my Mums adopted brother with his two brothers, one was fostered by a family and the other was taken in by a farmer and his wife who cared for him very much and yes we had a great reunion. All of this was as a result of my mum falling in love with her adopted brother when she was on her way to school the local parish priest asked my grandparents if they would foster him as their boys died they said no to fostering him but would adopt him.I grew up knowing all of this storey I knew where one brother lived and who he was fostered by. i set out to find his other brother and did it in 3 months. Yes your storey of the two brothers is a wonderful storey and be proud of the work you do. May you gods bless you all in your work.
