Father and Daughter reunited on The Today Show thanks to MyHeritage DNA

Sarah, from Fort Wayne, Indiana (now living in the Netherlands) was placed in adoptive care as a young child by her mother. To try and find her biological family, she took a MyHeritage DNA test that her husband purchased for her. She was shocked when she got a match to her biological father, Arland, who didn't even know she existed.

Sarah and Arland then spoke on the phone numerous times, but today was the first time they met.

Watch their emotional reunion.

I'm 73 and just took the DNA, I was never adopted and looking for some kind of closure . Praying that God will bless my last wish .

She looks alot like her father, so nice of him to tell her to call him Dad, he was very welcoming this could've gone the complete opposite direction.

[BarbDonnelly]

She is definately his daughter! The resemblance is crazy! What a great, great story!!

[Neeparr]

That's definitely her father. No DNA test required

My daughter met her biological father yesterday. She picked him up at the airport in Ok. I encouraged her to find her birth family for many reasons one being I am not threatened by her being enriched by others. Those kids are gorgeous!!!!

What a beautiful family. I am so glad her Dad turned out to be an awesome man. He is so handsome and she is beautiful They look so much alike. I love it!

Her father has southern manners and charm. So wonderful he welcomed her. They have the same beautiful eyes, nose and lips.

This was lovely. So lovely. The grandfather was doting over his grandchildren just moments after meeting them. A lot of love here.

I found my father after 37 years, two days ago and we've been talking and he said that he loves me which is crazy but I haven't seen him so far, he lives in south America but my finances are not the best so I have to wait to meet him, I am anxious thou, lol.

i like how the dad looks dapper in the suit but the moment he talked I immediately imagined a cowboy hat on him lmao and then he said he was living in Texas!

[Hnzuu]

They look exactly the same. Amazing! ❤️

[aliciac]

OMG she looks just like her Dad! He gives off a really good vibe, he’s going to be a good person in her life.. I hope they have many years ahead of them to play catch-up.

[garyshirinian]

This a fabulous story. As a father my self.
Tears were running down, I couldn't help it .

[katajha]

My birth dad had no idea i existed. i hope to meet him next month. He also told me to call him dad, even before the dna test came back.

[abbieprice]

Arland seems like a great guy! I hope he and his newfound daughter Sarah are still on good terms to this day!

[Yakumoki]

Wow not only do they look alike, they act a like too!

[llwone]
