[Davina] For thousands of people across Britain, someone is missing from their lives.

[woman] I don't know her, but she's my mum.

She gave me life, and I need to know who that person is.

[woman] My son is out there somewhere.

If I could just see him for once and tell him that I love him with all my heart.

I want some answers about where I've come from, and I've wanted that every single day of my life.

Finding someone when the trail's gone cold can feel like an impossible task.

But that's where we step in... She's been found.

[laughs] I've got a big sister!

...offering a last chance to people desperate for help...

They've found him.

Ahh!

[crying] My god!

Oh!

My god!

[Nicky] From DNA technology to painstaking detective work, we've traveled the world, uncovering family secrets and tracing people that no one else could find.

[knocking] -John?

Nicky.

-Hi.

Good morning.

I've got the test results here of the DNA test.

Oh my god... -How are you?

-[crying] [Davina] ...and finally answering questions that have haunted entire lives.

I'm glad you've found us.

I'm sorry it took so long.

This week, two stories of childhood loss-- a daughter whose only link to her father is a letter... [woman] Does he still love me?

I need to know he meant everything that he wrote.

...and a woman searching for her twin sisters after more than 60 years apart.

[woman] My sisters were six months when they were took away.

I want my family back all together.

[dramatic music ends] Our first story comes from Kirkcaldy, and a woman searching for the father who promised that he would come back for her.

[contemplative music playing] [woman] He's my dad, and I'm his daughter.

But I've never met him.

I don't think a father could ever forget a child.

So, why did he not come back?

[woman] There we go.

We're gonna do some painting.

[Davina] 39-year-old Laura Aker lives with her husband, their two children, and Kelice, her daughter from a previous relationship.

[Laura] What color do you think it is?

-[girl] Purple!

-Purple?

-Yeah.

-No.

[gasps] The family live on the east coast of Scotland, just a few streets away from where Laura grew up.

I was the oldest of three.

-Wow!

-[Laura] Wow.

It was a happy childhood.

Laura grew up with her Scottish mother and the man she thought was her father.

But when she reached her teens, Laura began to wonder if he treated her differently.

[Laura] It became apparent that something wasn't quite right.

And it just made me ask the question to my mum.

I asked, "Is he my real dad?"

And it's almost like she'd been waiting on me asking her the question, and she went, "No."

I was completely shocked.

I remember thinking, "Who is my real dad?"

Laura's mum, Susan, revealed that Laura's real father was called Andrew Olum Ekpang.

Andrew was from Nigeria and had met Susan when he was in Scotland, training with the Navy.

[Laura] That's my dad.

-Is he on a boat there?

-Mm-hmm, he's on a ship.

They met in a nightclub, and their relationship blossomed.

And she fell in love with him.

You have, like, the same nose.

That's what I said.

[laughing] Susan became pregnant.

But before Laura was born, Andrew's training came to an end, and he had to return to Ni geria, over 3,000 miles away.

Andrew wrote to Susan from Nigeria.

"Dear Susan, Tell Laura Daddy loves her very much."

It makes you feel happy.

I can't explain it.

It's just...

When I see my name and "Daddy" beside it, it's just nice.

In the letter, Andrew promised that he would come back to meet his daughter.

[Laura] "I will come to see Laura and you.

Tell her that she will definitely see me one day there in Scotland.

I promise her.

Bye for now, lots of kisses for Laura."

You know, what changed?

Why did he not come back?

What happened to the promise?

For many years, Laura tried to bury her feelings about her father.

But when Laura was in her twenties, her mum became terminally ill. Knowing that the only link to him would be my mum, and if I didn't ask her then, I was never ever gonna find out, I just remember saying, "Mum, what's my dad's address?"

And she [clicks] just like that: "Cross River states, Nigeria, Ogogia."

But in the aftermath of her mum's death, Laura didn't feel able to reach out to her father.

What if I don't get anything back, then how do I deal with that?

You don't want any more rejection.

I wish when I did get the address, I'd done something about it there and then, but I just couldn't.

Laura has always questioned why her dad never came back to see her.

Maybe he doesn't want to be part of my life.

Maybe he got married and had other children, and I could be a big secret that he's kept.

There's a reason behind everything.

Now, nearly 40 years after her father left, Laura is determined to find him.

He said in the letter, "I promise Laura Daddy will see her one day."

I want to know that he meant everything, and that it wasn't just meaningless words.

And now, if he can't do it on his own, then I need to help.

It's not just gonna be his responsibility.

I think it's going to be partly mine as well.

I feel I'm ready now to find him.

-End.

-The end.

We started our search for Laura's father, Andrew Ollum Ekpang, by writing to the address that Laura's mother had given her, but we got no reply.

We then focused on social media sites, putting his full name into the searches, but with no results coming up, we decided to play around with the spelling, and something caught our eye.

We came across a post from a man called Nten to his mother, Mrs. Clara Andrew Olom Ekpang.

This was the same name as Laura's father, apart from the spelling of Olum, which was different.

Could there be a connection?

Crucially, Nten lived in the same state in Nigeria that Laura's father was from.

Further enquiries confirmed that Nten was Andrew's son.

We found out that Andrew, known as Andy, lives in a remote village, so I'm going to call Nten, wh o lives in the state capital, to find out if Andy is willing to come to Scotland and finally meet his daughter.

[Skype ringing] -Hello.

-Hello.

Are you Nten?

Now, I've got... [laughs] I can see you now.

Are you the son of Andrew Ollum Ekpang?

How does he feel about the fact that Laura, his daughter, is looking for him?

Did you know about Laura?

-So, a lot of siblings.

-Yes.

Is your father willing to come to the UK to meet Laura?

Fantastic.

I'm really looking forward to meeting you and to meeting your father at the airport.

That's great, Nten, thank you.

See you soon.

[Skype call ending] We made arrangements for Andy and Nten to travel from Nigeria to the UK.

Thanks very much.

But, then, we received some terrible news.

A week before they were due to travel, Andy collapsed and had to be hospitalized.

It was touch and go whether he would be well enough to fly.

After three weeks, we got the all-clear from Andy's doctor.

And I'm on my way to collect him and Nten from the airport.

It is a massive relief that Andy's well enough to come back and meet his daughter.

But why didn't he come before?

And has he thought about Laura as much as she's thought about him?

[Nicky] Nten!

Andy, how are you doing?

-I'm good.

-Good to see you.

Sir, great pleasure to meet you.

It's a pleasure also.

-Welcome back.

-Thank you very much.

-Shall we go?

-Okay.

You're even better than on Skype, -Really?

-[laughs] Andy and Nten are staying at a hotel in central London.

Thank you for coming.

I know you've been unwell, but you made it!

-Well, I had to.

-[Nicky] Yeah.

And it is really wonderful and great.

My father was very worried he couldn't make it, but he told himself, "No, I'm going to push myself to see Laura."

He told me even if this is the last thing he will do in this life, he will do it.

How did you feel when you found out that Laura was looking for you?

I felt terribly happy and thanked my God... [Nicky] Yeah.

...that my daughter had been looking for me.

I have always been thinking about her.

Yeah.

And how do you feel about the fact that you haven't been a part of her life?

I used to be sad-- those moments I sit round my children, and Laura is not here.

Whenever we gathered together, he said that someone is missing, and the person who's missing is as important as the people present.

It's always been his dream to see Laura, and I remember he told me, "If throughout my lifetime, I'm not able to see Laura again, make sure, as my first son, you try and look for her."

Did you think about ever coming back to Scotland to see her?

I have been thinking of how I can make that connection.

Yeah.

But financially impossible for me.

That's all that has keep-- been keeping me away from her.

Yeah.

Times were hard with money, yeah?

Yeah, so, he couldn't get that money again by himself, to come back.

So, this is big for him.

It's so amazing that you're here.

Yes, I am very happy I am here for Laura.

So...

I have a photograph of your daughter.

[Andy] Wow.

Wonderful.

Beautiful as he is handsome.

[all laugh] -Yes.

-[laughs] I'm seeing her for the first time, in this photograph, my daughter whom I have not seen all these years.

Wow.

[exhales sharply] [Nicky] She's got three daughters, she has a partner, she's very happy.

It's awesome, because she has always been there, but we had not seen her.

Now, we are going to see her.

I just hope she's as excited as we are.

Andy, what would you like to say to her when you see her?

"I love you."

Then I give her a hug.

[kiss sound] [chuckles] [Davina] Before we tell Laura th at her father's been found... Our second story comes from Somerset and a woman searching for her twin sisters who vanished from her life when they were babies.

[woman] Two little girls, Jennifer and Frances, my sisters.

I've not got any photographs of the twins.

Nothing at all, only their birth certificates.

They were six months when they were took away.

All of a sudden, you're in the house, and they're not there anymore.

[whimsical music playing] [seagulls calling] [woman] Lovely boy.

[Davina] 71-year-old Linda Lewis lives in Weston-super-Mare with her husband of 30 years, Rob.

Linda grew up in Bristol, the eldest of five children.

[Linda] There was me, Graham, my brother, a sister, Susan, and then twin girls, Frances and Jennifer.

They were the babies of the family.

Linda's dad, Charles, worked as a bricklayer, while her mum, Florence, cared for the family.

She was a lovely mum.

She was a cuddly mum, you know.

I had a wonderful family, and it really was a good life.

But when Linda was 5, her mum became ill and went into hospital fo r an operation on her throat.

I remembered her and Grandma walking to the bus stop.

And they both had a pink dress on.

I don't remember feeling sad, because I really thought she was coming back home to me.

But it was the last time I ever saw Mum.

Florence never came home from the hospital.

She passed away during the operation.

She was 29 years old, and our lives just changed completely.

Widowed with three young children and twin babies aged 5 months, Linda's dad struggled to cope.

Dad was left with two very, very young babies that needed a mother's attention, which must have been very difficult.

He was devastated, he'd lost his wife, and he couldn't cope with us all.

Linda's father made the heartbreaking decision to give the twins, Jennifer and Frances, up for adoption.

The twins were never, ever talked about again.

Losing Mum and then losing the twins is like one big bereavement, and I felt the complete family had been wiped out, to me.

Despite now having a family of her own, Linda still longs for the twin sisters she last saw 65 years ago.

Over all the years, there's still this loneliness where the twins should be.

It don't ever leave you.

Sometimes, I can be somewhere, I look round and think, "Could any of these be my sisters?"

I've got lots of questions-- What sort of life they've had.

Did they get married?

Have they got children?

I missed out so much with them, really.

I want my family back, all together.

[Nicky] Linda has very little information about her sisters.

All she has are their original birth certificates.

But when the twins were adopted, their names would almost certainly have been changed.

So, we worked with a specialist intermediary who is legally allowed to access adoption records, and discovered that Frances and Jennifer are now called Dawn and Eve.

Using these new names, we searched electoral rolls and found a record of Eve living in Clevedon, Somerset, just 8 miles from Linda's home in Weston-super-Mare.

We contacted Eve, who told us that she and Dawn live on the same street in Clevedon, and invited me to meet them.

[dramatic music playing] [Nicky] This is extraordinary.

When we took on the search for the twins, we never imagined we'd find them both living just ten minutes' drive from their sister.

The twins are retired and between them have six children and eleven grandchildren.

Ever since their mother passed away, Linda has been haunted by the double loss of her mum and her sisters.

But what about the twins?

They were just 5 months old when their birth mother died.

Do they know why they were adopted?

And how do they feel now their sister's come searching after all these years?

[dramatic music ends] -[Nicky] Hello.

-Hello.

-Dawn, Eve?

-I'm Dawn.

Dawn, hello.

-And I'm Eve.

-Eve.

-And I'm Nicky.

-Nice to know.

Do come in.

Oh, thank you.

[Nicky] It's lovely of you to see me.

[Dawn] That's fine.

So, when you found out that your sister Linda was trying to find you, how did you feel?

Very surprised.

After all this time, I-- you know, I thought-- didn't think anybody ever would.

Well, it's nice to think somebody wants us.

[both laugh] What do you mean by that?

Well, our adoptive parents, they were elderly.

Quite strict.

-No cuddles.

-No cuddles.

To be honest, when we were children, I can't ever remember being happy.

I know it's an awful thing to say.

We used to say to Mum, didn't we, "Out of all the children in the world, you picked us, you actually picked us."

You know, "If you don't want us," you know, "let us go somewhere else."

But they kept us together, that's the main thing.

We didn't have any photographs of us when we were tiny.

Only this one.

[Nicky] Oh, look at you!

Look how sweet the two of you are.

[Dawn laughs] [Eve] Well, I couldn't tell you which is which.

[Dawn] No, we never worked out which is which.

[Nicky] Wow.

[Dawn] We got this-- I don't know what they call it now.

If Eve falls over and hurts herself, then I know she's hurt herself, or-- -What, sort of telepathic bond?

-Yeah.

-We've always had it.

-Have you?

What did you know about your birth family growing up?

We were always told that she had died, and there was other brothers and sisters.

[Dawn] But we were always led to believe that-- -She died when she had us.

-When she had us.

-In childbirth?

-[both] Yes.

So, we were always under the impression it was our fault, and so we thought the brothers and sisters would sort of hold that against us.

Taking upon yourselves that guilt at such a young age, when you thought that's how she'd died, that's really sad.

It wasn't until our adoptive parents both died that we thought, "Well, we'll just see if we can find our original birth certificates."

Mum's signature is on our birth certificate, so we knew then she hadn't died when we were born.

When you found out that it wasn't-- as you'd perceived it-- your fault that your birth mother died, what stopped you searching for your birth family?

We were frightened of rejection, weren't we, really.

-Yeah.

-That if we found them, they might not want anything to do with us.

You'd had too much rejection already.

Well, Linda's been thinking about you for 65 years.

You've both been a massive part of her life, knowing that you were out there somewhere.

It must have been dreadful losing your mum.

-I can't imagine that.

-And then losing you, too.

[Nicky] She's felt it as a double loss.

How far away is she living?

Eight miles.

In Weston-super-Mare.

Gosh, that's ridiculously close, isn't it?

[Eve] I can't believe it's just down the road.

-[Dawn] No.

-All this time.

Does she look like us?

Does she look like you?

[Dawn] Ooh, she does a bit.

Oh, yeah, not half.

-Oh, she does, doesn't she?

-[Dawn] Yeah.

She's even got her-- even her hair's like ours, look.

[Dawn] To think we might have walked past her, and we didn't know who she was when we were in Weston.

Eve, what are you thinking?

[Eve] We've missed out on a lot, haven't we?

Not knowing her.

All these years.

It's nice to know there's more family about.

-Proper family, isn't it?

-Yes.

Because we've only ever had each other.

And now, we've got Linda.

[seagulls calling] [Davina] Before we tell Linda that her sisters have been found... [upbeat music playing] I'm on my way to see Laura Aker.

She came to us searching for her father, who returned home to Nigeria before she was born.

When she was a child, Laura's dad wrote her a letter, telling her that he loved her, but since the years have passed, Laura's questioned whether that's still true.

But, today, I can tell Laura that her dad's been found, and he's never stopped loving her.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hi, Laura.

How are you doing?

-I'm fine, thank you.

Come in.

-Thank you.

So, thank you for talking to me today.

It's such a unique story, because, obviously, you've got this letter from your dad.

It's just-- It's the only thing I've got to kind of hold onto, so it means a lot.

What are your worries about looking for him?

That he doesn't want to be found, or he's kind of written me out of his life.

Well, he hasn't written you out of his life, because we've found your dad.

Really?

Really?

[sniffs] -What did he say?

-He's thrilled.

[crying] That's so good to hear.

I'm really happy.

[sniffs] So, your Dad lives in the south of Nigeria.

He has 12 children.

-Really?

-Yes.

Wow.

-You're joking.

-No.

-Twelve?

-Yes.

[both chuckling] -That is mad.

-It is.

That's what you call an extended family.

Yeah.

Twelve brothers and sisters.

We found him via his eldest son.

His name's Nten, and they've always all known about you.

That's amazing.

-He's never forgotten about me.

-Mmm.

I've always been part of his life, although I've not been in it.

It's a good feeling.

[crying] [sniffs] [sighs] Why did he not want to come back or...?

Andy couldn't come back and fulfil his promise because when he went back to Nigeria, his life didn't quite work out how he'd wanted it to.

And he struggled to find work, so he didn't have much money, and it meant that the chance for him to come over here had all but gone.

And he regrets that.

That's actually sad.

But I'm just, you know, grateful that he still wants to be part of my life.

That's my dad.

[laughs] -Still got my nose.

-[laughs] That's what I thought.

You know, it's happy and sad at the same time.

I wish I'd been in his life a long time ago, but... Andy wants to keep that promise that he made to you all those years ago and come and see you here in Scotland, and Nten's going to come with him.

I'm so pleased.

It's just an opportunity to make up for the time that we've lost.

[laughs] [contemplative music playing] Linda Lewis is searching for her twin sisters, who were given up for adoption as babies after their mother passed away.

As a child, to lose a parent is so devastating, but what made it even worse for Linda was the fact that she lost her twin baby sisters so soon after.

But, today, I can tell her they've been found.

Hey, Linda.

How's things?

-Good, thank you.

-Lovely to meet you.

And you.

Come in.

Thanks very much.

-How are you doing?

-I'm okay.

Well, I think the thing that struck me the most was the amount of loss that you suffered in such a short space of time.

-It changes you, doesn't it?

-It does.

The pain, the hurt.

You know.

The only thing I've got of my sisters are their birth certificates.

And that hurts.

I've still got two sisters somewhere.

I'm just wondering what they're like, and would we ever get to see them?

Well, Linda, your sisters have been found.

-[whispering] They haven't!

-Yeah.

[crying] Are they doing okay?

[whispering] They're great.

-I'm sorry.

-Don't apologize.

Gosh.

Their names are different.

Eve and Dawn.

Dawn and Eve.

They live just a few miles away, in Clevedon.

[muttering] And they cannot believe that you have been living this close the whole time.

I know.

[laughs] The girls didn't have the easiest of childhoods, you know, there wasn't much sort of love, but they were kept together, and they were really grateful for that.

-[Linda] Yeah.

-They've written you a letter.

[sniffs] "Hi, Linda.

It was such a lovely surprise to hear that you have been looking for us.

We have often thought about you.

We have always been close to each other, helping each other through hard times.

We hope that we will be the same with you.

Love, Dawn and Eve."

Ohh.

Here's what they look like.

Oh ,gosh.

[Davina] There's your sisters.

[Linda] They look lovely, don't they?

-Dawn and Eve.

-Yeah.

I can't believe this is happening.

I hope we can start living as sisters.

You know, all the things that normal families do.

I don't know why I'm crying.

I'm so happy.

[seagulls calling] Today, Linda is going to meet her twin sisters for the first time in 65 years.

-[Rob] Good luck, love.

-Thank you.

See you later.

Yeah.

-Hey, Linda.

-Hiya.

-You ready?

-I am.

Alright, let's go.

You look lovely.

Thank you.

-That look alright?

-Mm-hmm.

Yep, that's fine.

[contemplative music playing] -Hey.

-Hello.

-Eve!

-Alright?

-How are you?

-Great.

-The day is here.

-[Dawn] Hello.

-[Nicky] Are you alright?

-Yes, thank you.

[Davina] Linda is traveling to the twins' hometown of Clevedon, to be reunited with her sisters.

So, how are you feeling?

Anxious.

I've carried this for so many years.

They've always been in my mind.

I just hope that I go in there and it just clicks, you know.

And try and make up for some lost time.

[melancholy music playing] [Nicky] I can tell you're really nervous.

It's a funny nervous, though, isn't it?

A funny nervous, yeah?

Sort of excited and nervous all in one.

Yeah.

What's it like, getting another sister?

Well, it's nice to have somebody else, isn't it?

Because it's always just been two of us, really.

[Davina] The sisters are meeting at a pub on the seafront.

[Nicky] So, I'm going to leave you.

-All the very best.

-Thank you very much.

[Nicky] Good luck.

Thank you very much.

It's been a real pleasure meeting you.

I hope it goes well.

-[Dawn] Thank you very much.

-[Nicky] Bye.

-[Dawn] Bye.

-[Nicky] Bye.

So, this is where I say goodbye.

Thank you.

Because your sisters are in there.

Thank you.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

[sentimental music playing] There she is.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-How are you?

-I'm fine, and you?

Yeah.

Sorry about me crying.

I can't help it.

Don't worry about it.

-Hello.

-Hello.

Alright?

Alright?

Don't cry, or you'll start me off.

-I know!

-[laughs] Alright?

It's been a long wait.

Oh, gosh!

I never, ever, in all my wildest dreams, thought this day would come.

-No.

-Unbelievable, isn't it?

Yeah, in all those years.

It's nice to know that you've thought about us all the years.

All the years.

We were always told that Mum had died, that's why we were adopted.

We always thought that she died when we were born.

No, no, it was nothing, nothing at all to do with that.

Because I felt quite sad about that, 'cause you carried that for years, I suppose, didn't you?

[both] Yeah.

It's just been the two of us together against the world, really.

And now, to know that somebody actually wants us, makes a lot of difference.

It's what I've wanted all my life.

[Linda] I'm feeling overjoyed.

I feel that I've known them for a long, long time.

This is our mum.

-[Eve] Same eyes, haven't we?

-[Dawn] Mmm.

There's definitely a family resemblance, isn't there?

Sixty years we've been wondering what she looked like.

-[Linda] Yeah?

-[Eve] Yeah.

-[Dawn] Hmm.

-Really pretty, isn't she?

She'd be so proud.

-Do you think?

-Yeah.

She really would.

She's been looking for us for so long.

And now, she's found us.

I think she's lovely.

Now we'll be together as a family, you know, all of us together.

Well, it's bizarre that you only live down the road.

I know!

When they said Weston, I went, "What?"

Yeah.

We could've sat next to one another on a bus, couldn't we?

[Linda] Now I've got them back, it's like another life starting.

They're lovely.

It's everything I wished for.

[orchestral music playing] Mother of three Laura Aker ha s never met her father, Andy.

Andy had to return to his home in Nigeria before she was born but vowed he would come back to Scotland to meet his daughter.

Today, he's going to fulfil that promise.

It means the world to me that he's just put everything in it to make this journey happen... to keep his promise to come all this way to see me.

Andy has made the journey to Scotland with Nten, his oldest son and Laura's half-brother.

Today, that I'm coming to meet her for the very first time is a very special day for me.

I look at that photograph all the time.

Non-stop.

That's why you see me carry it in my pocket.

It's so special.

[Nten] Today, when we meet Laura, it is going to make a big difference for my dad, because he's going to be fulfilled.

It's been a long wait.

We've been hoping, we've been praying to meet her, and the day has come.

It's a dream come true.

I just hope that everything pans out well.

Dad, are you ready to go?

Alright, let's go.

[Laura] 40 years of wondering and knowing it's about to happen, and it's just...

I'm really, really excited.

Really excited.

They're meeting in a hotel close to Kirkcaldy, Laura's hometown.

[sentimental music playing] Hello.

I love you.

I love you, too.

-Oh my god.

-[laughs] At the very long last.

Yes, nearly 40 years.

[Laura, whispering] Nten.

-[Nten sniffs] -[Laura laughs] You happy?

[laughs] -I'm happy to see you.

-You too.

It's been a long journey coming here.

Yeah, I'm so grateful you brought Dad all this way.

You mean so much to us.

[sniffs] My daughter... always remember how much I love you.

You kept your promise, Dad.

Yeah, he said he was going to come to look for you.

[Laura] And now, you're here.

I can't believe it.

I actually can't believe it.

It's just-- it's surreal.

I'm a happier brother now, because I've always known about you from birth.

Really?

I told him, "If I should die without setting my eyes on Laura, go in search of her.

See her."

He told me that.

He told me that.

Well, that's amazing.

And he tells us you are as special as any other child, so we should never forget you.

-That's amazing.

-It's a real big day for me, because I have set my eyes on Laura.

I thank you, God.

I really love you.

Me too.

[Laura] I just felt a connection straightaway.

When my Dad said he loved me, that was just-- it was everything I've hoped for.

To hear him say that in his own words-- what more can you ask for?

And we're all tall, as well.

-I'm tall, so I'm like you.

-Who's taller?

[all laugh] Oooh, great!

Now I feel not only part of my family's in Scotland, but part of a massive family that I've still to meet in Nigeria, and that's, yeah, that's a new chapter in my life that's going to be quite exciting.

-Wow.

-That's mad, eh?

[Andy] Coming here to meet Laura means a lot to me.

So special.

Very, very happy.

They are hoping that you'll come to Nigeria one day.

-Yeah, definitely.

-...and see where you belong.

[all laugh] [Nten] Dad has seen Laura.

That was the last thing he wanted to achieve in life.

It can never be forgotten.

I cannot forget this moment.

She's part of the family right now.

[Laura] Right, so...

I brought some pictures from when I was little up until now, to let you see my family and... [Nten] Oh, yes.

-That's you, do you remember?

-[Nten laughs] My handsome face.

[laughing] Yeah.

You still have a handsome face.

-[Andy] Yes.

-[laughs] [Laura] That's where my journey began.

-[Nten] Wow.

-Yeah.

-So, that's you?

-That's me, and then just pictures of me growing up and my family and... From the bottom of my heart, I love her.

I'm really happy and fulfilled that even if I leave this world, I have set my eyes on Laura.

I have seen her.

[Laura] My dad's not in the best of health, but he's made this trip.

It just makes everything so much more worth it.

And I'm just so grateful.

I'm just excited to see what the future holds.

Next time on Long Lost Family-- a man desperate to find the brother given up after a wartime affair...

I'm part of him, he's part of me.

And if before I pass away, I could find him, I'd go to Heaven happy.

...and a woman searching for her birth mother and the truth behind her adoption.

She's the only one that can answer the questions I have.
