I am watching Jack Wagner right now and OMG. My husband just this June the week of Fathers day was reunited with his daughter that he had not seen for 45 years. My husband married her mother when he was in the Army in Germany had Melle his daughter. He had been seraching for him the last 15 years and keep running into dead ends. Melle and her husband contacted the show in Germany Endomal and they found my husband who is her dad. Long story short they made a show of it and should be coming out in the fall. Jack I love your story.

I saw the show with Jack Wagner and his daughter. I, too, have found my birth parents after 47 years. My father did not know about me either. We had a DNA at his request which confirmed I am his daughter. My adoptive parents are both deceased. I, like Mr. Wagner's daughter, waited for the "right" time in my life to begin my search which for me, was when my parents had passed. This segment of the show really hit close to home for me and I appreciate you airing this story. For the most part, with a few things to iron out along the way, thankfully, this has been a very positive experience. I am blessed to have been loved by one set of parents and now two. I encourage adoptees to begin the search if they want to know where they come from. Just be prepared that this an enormous emotional risk that may not have a pleasant outcome. If it does have a positive result, there is nothing else in the world more precious.

I'm watching Anderson on TV right now. He is talking to Jack Wagner and the daughter he never knew he had until she found him .. .. ..


My husband was found by his birth father when he(my husband) was 54 years old. It was equally magical!

Congratulations to Jack Wagner and his daughter for finding each other and having a happy outcome. It's not always that way. I can see they are both happy to have found each other and added joy to each others lives. Very nice.

I AM WATCHING JACK WAGNER'S STORY. YOU REALLY SHOULD DO A STORY ON OPEN ADOPTION. I HAVE HAD THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE STORY OF AN OPEN ADOPTION. I NEVER SEE STORIES ON TV ABOUT OPEN ADOPTION AND HOW IT IMPACTS THE ADOPTED CHILDREN.

I am a new viewer to your show, and have to say have enjoyed it very much. I was watching your show for the day with Jack Wagner and his daughter, and found it touching. I myself am adopted, but always knew it. I always knew my Biological father and most of his side of the family, but have never to this date met my Biological mother nor know what she looks like. I am 46 and just really recently found out a little more about her, I guess mainly that she never wanted me, she did some pretty horrible things to me, like sending me to the hospital after she punched me in my stomach ( I was less than a year old). So, I am very happy to hear that there are stories out there that end on such a happy note. I wish nothing but happiness to Mr. Wagner and his daughter and to all others out there that find out that they were wanted.

Jack Wagner truly earned his nickname of "Gentleman Jack." The way he looked at and treated and believed his daughter, when most people would have demanded a DNA test before they even spoke, shows a man who is at peace with himself and who he is...I also think his daughter was blessed with amazing adopted parents who loved her enough to encourage her to find out who she was biologically. May they love and support each other the rest of their lives....

I am so against the dying of pets. It's ridiculous!!! If the owner wants all the attention, Why don't they dye their hair green and pink etc? Animals are color blind. This should be against the law!!! I wish there was an attorney to speak for animals.

I love animals. Can't wait to see Tuesday's show. Not so sure I'm into the new dog dyeing trend. I have seen a few dyed dogs in my city. It's kinda wierd. I mean the dogs don't seem to mind, but. I don't know. As long as its safe.
I love my dog the way he is! He's the cutest Toy Fox Terrier you'll ever see! lol.

THis is about the Monday show about coupon clipping people.I do not believed when I watched it that people could be so stupid and uninformed to hord all those bottled and packacked (expensive) chemicals. Even if you do not want to go eco because of convenience you only need a few things for the home Bleach antibacterial spray and Windex. In the kitchen dish soap baking soda and kitchen antibacterial soap. You can save a lot of money by not buying the packaged stuff including food.Welcome back Anderson, Marika.
