![]() I like this show, but I wish they would tell us more details about the people they find. I went in and added a couple more minutes, but thought it was strange that the time as set by the cable box (which presumably gets that info loaded directly from TLC somehow) was wrong. Speaking of TV, is anyone else having the problem of the DVR cutting off the show a couple of seconds before the end? I didn't adjust the time at all, so was annoyed when I missed the very end of the first few episodes. I feel like I should turn off the TV for a couple of minutes. I know that's part of the "point" of the show, and my guess is, for example, that they actually read those letters to themselves before rereading them for the camera, but still. Sometimes, I also feel embarrassed-as though I'm intruding on these intensely personal/emotional/private moments. I cry at the drop of a hat, and was unprepared for how emotional I was going to get while watching. I watched several of the episodes back-to-back last weekend, which was fun but also emotionally draining. I'm really enjoying this show, too, so I'm glad that there's a forum for it. ![]() I think the mom had not told her new family about the child. I remember on the above mentioned show, The Locater, there was an episode where the birth mom refused to meet the child. Now Jenny and the baby's aunt are looking for him. Apparently the birth mom had another baby with a different black man a year later and gave him up as well. They were all so thrilled to be with each other! I loved that they both brought their families, I hope they grow close.Įdit: I'm a creep and I found a link featuring Jenny from the Rochester episode. My favorite was definitely the couple that stayed together and found their son. And the mother thinking the baby was Italian? What? There's absolutely more to this story. The daughter's face when she realized she knew her was very telling. The Rochester episode with the mother and daughter was weird. I hope they can be that for each other, they both seemed to really need that comfort and reassurance. This week's episode with Jon and Joy was interesting to me because they both seemed desperate to be loved and for someone to hold on to them even when they make the wrong choices. Everyone seems to just go for it with the emotions. I watched the British version on YouTube but I'm liking this one more. I can't imagine all reunions are welcomed and happy, much as I might wish it to be so. I wonder if they'll ever feature a case where one party is resentful of or doesn't want to meet/communicate with the other. I hope their relationship continues to go well, but one never knows. Last night's show featured a father looking for his daughter, and it seemed as though they really needed the other in their own lives. It would be nice if all adoptions and reunions could go as smoothly and well. When they finally met up, the son had brought his adoptive parents and His wife and son and the whole thing was like a giant family reunion. There had been letters exchanged for nine years before mysteriously ending. I particularly liked last week's episode, where the mother and father had stayed together after giving a son up for adoption, and then had four daughters. Everyone is usually so emotional - anxious, happy, relieved, all over the board. I love this show and rarely get through it without at least tearing up.
