Jono, I am watching your programme and I just wanted to say I think you are such a lovely person, very thoughtful 2 others around you. Your birth parents are missing out on someone very wonderful. I really hope you find what you are looking 4 x

Hi Jono, I've not seen you on TV before and tbh I was channel hopping and found your programme. I too am adopted and have gone thru' trying to find my birth parents. I know I have siblings but having met my birth Mother (some years ago now), it has all turned out that I have been 'rejected' by her for a second time and I've no chance of carrying on the rest of my life sharing it with my siblings. It hurt for a while, but I have a lovely wife and two lovely Sons that I can devote my life to.
'margatebaby' sums things up very nicely......."Your birth parents are missing out on someone very wonderful." ......the way you spoke of 'rejection', I was wondering if you've read "The Primal Wound?"
Good luck my friend

I saw this documentary just by accident yesterday evening. It was deeply moving and I am so pleased to have had the priviledge of watching it. What a great lad and what a wonderful loving, warm and beautiful family and girlfriend he has around him. I can only feel pity for his birth family who have missed out on having a wonderful person in their lives. In all honesty I did feel very angry at how selfish and cruel his adoption was but was happy to see that his wonderful mum had actually chosen him and given him more love and care than he may have had at home. Life works in mysterious ways and I can only wish him, his girlfriend and all his friends and family the very best and hope it all works out for them. They deserve nothing but the best and it's a shame there aren't more families like this.

Hi Jono,

I was deeply moved by your situation and the grace in which you're dealing with it. I'm in a very similar position, knowing I have siblings on both sides and also that both birth parents haven't mentioned me to them. It's very hard and frustrating for me, even though I have a daughter now - it often feels unfair that she doesn't know her large extended family, and that my existence and any possible relationships with them have been decided to be less important than them answering some difficult questions. All this wasted time is very frustrating. I do wish you the very best - and I'm glad your adoptive family are so close to you. It's only a matter of time I'm sure - and if your parents have to face up to questioning from their other kids - well, so be it. They can't be forgiven until they're brave enough to talk about you in the first place.

hi jono&laura
ive watched both of your shows, and think that poeple should see you as an inspiration not some one who is different. When i watched your last show, and heard you both say, that some small minded person, had been digging at your disability, it really made me angry to think that in this day, we as a society are stll passing judgement. We should not be seeing any one as "different" from one another. No one is perfect and we all have flaws. If they think that trying to make some one feel low is good then obviously they know nothing. I hope that you both have children one day as it seems you would make great parents.
I wish you all the best with your siblings and hope that your biological parents will come round to the idea of meeting you, if not then they will obviouslybe missing out on what seems to be a very caring and ubderstanding son.

Hi Jono & Laura.

Watching your documentary was inspirational. I like some of the fellow commenters am adopted, and felt comforted by some of the feelings you expressed in the program. I have only just begun to start the tracing process, and seeing your experiences has made me want to continue to gain information relating to my adoption whether they be positive or negative. I am aware that I too have siblings, however I am unsure as to whether they are aware of my existence, and I too do not wish to disrupt the balance in their lives and cause any friction, so i felt comforted by watching your program knowing that I wasn't truly alone in how I was feeling about the situation.
Your program will have made lot of adopted people feel less alone in the world as you have been kind enough to be so open and honest about the issue, as some of the adoptive community, like myself, often find it hard to talk about it but easily think about it.
I think your parents are missing out big time, and i'm sure if they saw the documentary then they will realise that.
You seem to have an awesome partner and family who love you and support you, just how I feel my family are towards me, and I wish you nothing but success and happiness in the future. You are a true legend dude.
