    Rebecca does not appreciate the fact that she was given the best of everything because they loved her. Sad..
  • Sad for Rebecca. So much love for her from many people around her.... yet in her ego-anger she remains blind to that. What a waste...
  • I feel Rebecca is somewhat stuck in that emotional state of child when she first discovered about her adoption. It's almost like a traumatic episode. She can't really shake off her need.
  • @bluebonbon22
    If you are not adopted you will NOT understand the drive, the desire, the passion to look for the missing family, no matter how long it takes or who it hurts. I am 74 years old, my brother is 79, we JUST found each other after years of looking.
  • @CeravvvEgan
    My heart breaks for Rebecca’s lovely adoptive parents 😢 They don’t deserve her rejection and hate
  • @xcape2usa
    What an ungrateful woman. This beautiful couple gave her a safe, loving and protective home.
  • @reginab722
    I understand her need but the way she treats her adoptive parents makes me feel uneasy that she is ungrateful to their generosity and love.
  • @rvd1269
    Rebecca is so incredulous, there are millions of children in poverty who die of malnutrition and disease every year. Her attitude towards her adoptive parents will make people think twice about adopting children and instead go for IVF instead. Shame on her 😔

    57:36 Rebecca curtly saying "I've already deleted all of the pictures; everything, .....I don't want to look at them again", (I believe she's referring to the lovely family that was also looking for their long lost adopted family member). She still had me empathizing with her until this very telling remark about her character. She ONLY cares about herself and NO ONE else. If it was me, I would have kept the photos and would have prayed for the other family; that they would be able to locate their loved one. I would have had compassion on them as they have similar pain as she.....but Rebecca can't see the pain of others, only her own pain. It's unfortunate... She is blind to her husbands pain, and to his undying love for her, of which she should be grateful. To make him travel in his condition shows a lack of compassion and understanding on her part....what she accuses her adoptive parents of...she is also exhibiting. I will pray for her.

    Her uncle made me cry you can see he remembered everything. She also favors him glad she found them before the mother, they showed she was loved
  • I better not comment on Rebecca except she needs to get some help.... But my heart goes out to her adoptive parents and her loving husband....
  • Its very unfortunate and sad that Rebecca hasn't found her birth mum but I'm feel really sorry for her husband he looks completely drained, tired.
  • Riya is such a beautiful soul. She has nothing but pure love for all who are connected to her.
  • My eyes welled up when Riya met her birth family. I could feel the overpowering love when her mom hugged her and the joy in all of their eyes to see her. God bless them. Praying for a beautiful relationship and future for them 💜
  • @ms.sherlock
    Rebecca has treated her wonderful adoptive parents abominably cruelly.
  • @34goofylucy
    I pray for Rebecca to find content amd happiness in the present. It is heartbreaking to see another human so focused on things they have no control over. She can make a choice to be happy in the present.
  • One journey that was against all odds, turned out beautiful. The Rebecca story, she was raised with the best of "everything" and while I do see her upset at being molded into who her adopted parents wanted her to be, it would seem they had nothing but love and good intent. Then she finds an amazing life, with an amazing man, has a beautiful family, and nothing is enough! Even when her husband is in so much pain to go on, he is with her supporting her. I can't say that I don't know the void not knowing where I began or how my story started. Rebecca has been given a story that so many children who are abandoned could only dream of from a young age. She was ungrateful for parents that loved her, and now onto that into an adult who has built a seemingly wonderful life that is still not enough. Perspective! You maybe not be able to know how you started, but you really could appreciate a little of what the life you were given has gave you! I know so many that would be grateful for half of what you were given in the life you got!
  • What a respectful and delightful person Rae was to her family and she had a great and loving attitude towards her new family. She realised how fortunate and priviledged her life had beennwith adoptive parents. Can only imagine the huge boxes os clothes and gifts that will arrive for the holidays!
  • I hope Rebecca one day realizes that her adopted mother loved her and gave her everything that she could things could’ve ended up worse.
