🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nancy and me are soul sisters!! Elvis is definitely my happy place, too!! So happy for you sweetheart that you two found each other! Know that THIS minister had ministered to NO one but himself. He then did not have the righteous fruit of a Christ follower. Posers make me sad, but posers for profit make me angry but he will face Our King’s judgement. Be blessed, you beautiful family!!
This makes me cry, so happy for this family!!!
Awwwe. How sweet yall are. Mother & baby no Love stronger
Everytime I hear that a pregnant girl/woman brought shame to a family and in this case a home, it truly infuriates me. How can a child ever be seen as a shame?! Those years were the worst up and till the early 90’s still and it was always the mother never the boy/man that fathered the child.
I wonder do I still have a son
2009 👀 $ 👶
I would hate them all too Nancy! But you have her now….hold that girl!
God is great god is good let us give him thanks amen I don’t like biden
And, love it or hate it, if Roe V Wade is overturned, this is type of scenario is EXACTLY what will keep happening again! 🤨
Jason Caine Budeweit. Born July 31, 1974 in Vancouver. Your mother has lost you. Children’s Aid lost any record of your being taken and placed. Know you are loved. I was 17 and in unsupported crisis and not a day goes by that you’re not thought of with deep sadness and love.
❤
I’m so glad I was born in a time where I had the choice to do what I wanted when I got pregnant as a teen. My son is now 20 and I raised him on my own. He’s an amazing young man. I couldn’t imagine him being ripped from me.
BROUGHT TO YOU BY ANCESTRY, NBC TOOK SOME MONEY FROM ANCESTRY TO MAKE THIS VIDEO.
I’m so glad they got to reunite.
And this is why the Evangelical MEGA Churches REALLY hate abortion……they are missing out on all the profits! Makes more sense then the “bible”! No abortion, equals MORE desperate single mothers to prey upon & take their babies & SELL them for profits! And am sure the GOP will rake in their fare share too…..& it’s also why abortion is NO ONES BUSINESS, except between a woman & her Dr! Imagine if it was still illegal…….how many MORE stories there would be, just like this one & ending far less well……..🤨
So much horror and evil perpetrated on innocent children in the name of God by men! Sick, sadistic Control freaks with God complexes! So heartbreaking 💔
So sad but so glad they found each other!
Beautiful🌻
The pain she feels everyday will never end those people who did that to her are truly evil
Why are there so many trolls in the comment section? The divisiveness is something else in Memphis…
This is diabolical I am so sorry that this has happened and possibly continues to happen in our country :”(
Such a great hurt for these two women. How terribly sad. I had a terrible loss as a child that never will have closure, and could feel her pain. I am so happy for her that she re-connected with the daughter she loved so much! God Bless you and I hope your life will be filled with the love you longed to give your lost child. Such joy to see you re-united!
all in the name of god
Yikes, there should be documentaries or a movie about this.
So sad and happy
Thank goodness that unmarried young teen mother Mary wasn’t rushed off to a secret home only to have her sweet baby Jesus ripped away from her arms ❤️ the hypocrisy in Christianity is ridiculous
DISGUSTING YOU ALL OUT THERE STILL OPERATING THE SAME WILL BE GONE SOON BUT NOT SOON ENOUGH
SHAME SHAME SHAME
Only Whitfield County would make it national news.
East ridge? Wow
🙏🏾
I’m glad that despite the cruelty of the Church and the twisted reasoning of Godly people that fate had other plans and these women found each other. Lovely ending, sad it happened at all, tho.
💔💔
How lucky the mother to get her baby girl after 39 long years. And how cruel the. Pastor was to sell the baby withoutother permission.
That is so sad. I’m very glad that they found each other.
so sick of these when you feel like it or in front of the public so called people of faith taking advantage…God doesn’t condone this behavior
These ladies have a tearjerker story with a happy ending, thank goodness.!
That so called man of god looked so evil and full of anger and hate!
I’m sorry your baby 👶 was stolen from birth I felt your pain. You wanted your little one..
This is horrifying. Its literally child trafficking. It needs to end. And ynder the guise of religion MUST BE STOPPED. THEY ARE THE WORST!
This is heartbreaking and people like this that call themselves Christian is a complete joke.
JUST THE AMERICAN WAY, RELIGION AND POLITICS.
Such a shame that this happened but happy she found her daughter at the end ❤️
People hiding under the name of Jesus while they do everything He preached against! The Lord sees all, and each and everyone one of these corrupt people will (and probably have) answer to God! It is a fearful thing to be in the hands of a living God, the God who will judge where you spend ETERNITY.
These girls should have been treated with love, compassion, and care. 😞😭💔
It is so sad what these sacrilegious Christians do to these women. And what’s so unbelievable is they think they are destined for heaven.
Thank God this sweet lady got to meet her stolen daughter. This video made me cry……… Nancy is still in so much pain.😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
Did he use the buzzword freedom? That’s the same stuff these people are hollering today to justify their insanity.
🙁
What a lovely ending for the mother and her daughter. It is so beautiful when people find joy after so much sadness ❤️❤️❤️.
She looks like her mother
What a reproach on the name of Christ. The Lord Jesus was not at all apart of that man’s wicked and fraudulent operation. So thankful those ladies found each other. Praying for healing.
Congratulations Mom and daughter♥
So glad I was born in the West and was not brainwashed by religion.
SO MUCH CHILD ABUSE BACK THEN.
What a curse to use the name of God and act on behalf of Satan.
I am really enjoying your reunion. Just to know you’ll be celebrating Christmas together makes my day♥
It’s hard broken I have been removed from my children’s 5 years Ago And these foster cares Are badly bad service They don’t take care of the kids my youngest boy got hurt And had to be inthe ER .And I didn’t had acess to be with my boy . I don’tunderstand why The dept of children social services Like to tear family apart .. Is not right ..
For salvation, we just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in water for the removal of sins and filled with the Holy Ghost. Here’s why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead. That’s what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ… Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man, be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can’t come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don’t be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Our salvation has to match up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ’s Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It’s better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, And they continued steadfastly in the apostle’s doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Don’t get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS and the other is a WORK OF FAITH OR OBEDIENCE TO GOD. Titus 1:16, They profess that they know God; but in WORKS they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. FAITH WITHOUT OBEDIENCE TO GOD IS IN VAIN. If you believe in this message, be blessed by God in helping to spread it in the name of Jesus Christ so people can get saved the right way. God bless you
This is why Christians shouldn’t be in politics they should be paying attention to politics inside their churches and what’s really going on. Went to church with my mom. Her pastor was always making comments about me and her. Like our comments where something else. Think he was intimidated by us cause we didn’t play over him like most of the church did. He was a human being like anyone else in the church. He took in foster children. He never brought females to church only boys. So we didn’t know he had girls at his house. Long story short. One day he was arrested for molesting the foster girls past and present. He is in prison now for a very long time.
Girls be very careful of the internet.
What kind of Bible teaching and believers are these people who calims to believe in Jesus that would do such terrible things like taking away children and adopting them when the parents wants to keep them??? This is so NOT what God taught to do and this is definitely NOT the Lord’s way!!! But I am so happy and thankful to see this mother got to meet and see her baby girl. Praise the Lord!!!!!!! Just remember one thing. We must always FORGIVE and FORGET in order to move on. Much love and peace out. God bless.
So much horror has been done at the hands of “good Christian people”
I’m definitely in favor of homes for children but there needs to be some serious private and public oversight. There are too many trailer park and housing project situations that are worse.
There was nothing Godly about this! May Creator Bless, Protect, and Guide this woman and all those who suffered! Pure evil & ego!
🥲
🕊❤️🕊❤️🕊❤️🕊
I’m glad she got to reconnect with her. White people are always trying to hide things I come from a black family and where raised to keep are children and raise them
Added a comment cause of the 3 6’s 🙃
“Troubled teens” more like persistent abuse.
😭😭😭
So happy for you Nancy!!
I just love how it’s illegal for a facility like this to sell babies yet it’s legal for Adoption agencies to charge $70,000 for a BABY. With most adoption agencies today require the adoptive parents to send photos & schedule in person visits with the Birth parents. My wife & I thoroughly explored IVF & Adoption and they both cost around $70,000
I am only 2min in and already in tears. :'( as a single parent I have had to fight for my son and to keep him. To hear her speak of how she wanted to keep her child….and yet have people trying to take the child anyways, man that resonates.
Sick
Isn’t taking children of others across state lines illegal?
Selling babies 👶 is slavery.
when the mom said she baked a cake every year i started crying… I am so sad this has happened to thousands of women who will likely never reunite with their children.
We always have to forgive remember it’s for you not them to forgive is to find peace and real love 💜💕 praise YAHWEH in everything we do 🌻🕊️🦋🌻
Thank.you Lord!!!!!! Beautiful Reunification. What was intended for bad, God turned it into good. God bless them in abundance!
If god is all powerful and sees all…and does not show himself to stop all these crimes committed in his name, he is no better than Travis Scott.
I have 2 adopted children. They were older at adoption(10 and 11) and both had ADHD and learning disabilities. We could not adopt an infant. They are very expensive. At the time 20 years ago a normal white infant was a “Million Dollar Baby”. Believe me the religious groups sell babies today. That is the only reason why they want to stop abortion. The healthy babies will be sold and the others will be thrown into foster homes. I bet institutions will open up again to house the damaged children. God has all ways to make money.
I just saw a different video about these same sick people. Apparently there’s always someone out there stealing babies from vulnerable young females.
I can’t believe these kind of things were still going on in 1987 😳😬 what the heck
“1st birthday… living in Indonesia”. I felt that, Mumsy Nancy. God, please take all her painssss.. since day 1 she missed all the opportunities to be with her beautiful girl. May God Bless you both. Cheers for the 2nd chance to be with her. God is good, indeed. God is good. 👩👦❤
Wow.
I call cult
🙏
What a blessing that your daughter found you through DNA search. I hope y’all enjoy family time and making wonderful memories for the rest of your lives here on Earth. 🌻
The Gospel of salvation of our souls: 💜💕❤️💕💕❤️❤️💕💕❤️📖✝️🕎💡💡❤️❤️💞💜💕For what I received I passed on to you as of [first importance]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time,
Dear God💗❤️💗💞🙏in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the , life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.
WHAT A SAD STORY GOD 🙏 BLESS THIS WOMAN HOPEFULLY THEY FOUND EACH OTHER
Mistreatment and demonizing of girls & women, not by the Taliban or other so called “extreme or bad” religions, but by a “Christian” religion. The common denominator here being religion.
So proud to hear this wonderful story. You are blessed
God is always the best excuse right?
2009?!?! That FLABBERGASTED me! None of people ever paid for their wrongs and don’t bother telling me the “LORD” punished them 🤬
I love the Lord. The bible has really harsh words, and warnings for people who do evil in the name of God. I hope that despite wickedness done by people claiming to be Christians, the real Gospel reaches hearts. Jesus is about redemption, restoration, and healing, He would never condone this.
;
Wooooow 😭😭
Very sad
I just dont believe this woman
and I thought the Devereaux Foundation was bad…. this was even worse.
