Ep 2. The Court Said No, We Were Too Young

In Long Lost Family season 2 episode 2, titled "The Court Said No, We Were Too Young," hosts Chris Jacobs and Lisa Joyner work to reunite two women with their biological mother. The two sisters, Sara and Susan, were born in the 1960s and were put up for adoption by their mother, who was deemed too young to care for them. The sisters were adopted by different families and grew up unaware of each other's existence.

Sara, the older sister, had always known she was adopted and had searched for her birth mother on her own for many years without success. Susan, on the other hand, had been told about her adoption when she was 16, but the information was kept from her that she had a biological sibling. The two sisters later connected online and were overjoyed to finally find each other, but still longed to connect with their birth mother.

Hosts Chris and Lisa start their investigation by obtaining the adoption records, which reveal that their mother's name was Mary, and that she had given birth to the two sisters when she was just 15 years old. They also discover that Mary and the sisters' birth father had attempted to reclaim custody of the girls when they were toddlers, but their request had been denied by the court due to their young age and lack of financial stability.

Chris and Lisa then track down Mary, who is now in her 70s and living in a small town in Ohio. She is shocked to hear from her long-lost daughters and agrees to meet them. During the emotional meeting, Mary recounts the difficulties she faced as a teenage mother and the heartbreaking decision she had to make in giving away her children.

The episode also features another story of reunion, as Chris and Lisa help a man named Keion find his biological father after years of searching. Keion had a difficult childhood, and had always felt like he was missing a part of himself without any knowledge of his father. With the help of DNA testing, the hosts are able to identify Keion's father and set up a meeting between the two men. Keion is overjoyed to finally meet his father and learn more about his family history.

Overall, "The Court Said No, We Were Too Young" is a touching episode that explores the complexities of adoption and the importance of family connections. The stories of Sara, Susan, and Keion show the power of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity, and the hosts' efforts to reunite these families is sure to tug at viewers' heartstrings.
