In the emotional and heartwarming fifth season of Long Lost Family, viewers are taken on a journey of discovery as family members separated for years are reunited. In episode four, entitled "A Hole In My Soul," the show explores the story of a woman named Cherie who has been searching for her birth mother for over thirty years.

Cherie was adopted when she was just a few days old, and despite having a loving family, she never felt like she truly belonged. As she grew older, Cherie's curiosity about her biological family intensified, and she began to search for her birth mother in earnest.

With the help of the Long Lost Family team, Cherie finally gets the break she has been waiting for. A DNA test reveals a close match with a woman named Mary, who lives in another state and is likely to be Cherie's birth mother.

Excited but nervous, Cherie travels to meet Mary, hoping to finally get some answers about her past. As she sits down with Mary, they begin to talk about their lives and what has led them to this moment. Mary reveals that she was just a teenager when she gave birth to Cherie and was forced to give her up for adoption by her family.

Overwhelmed by emotion, Cherie struggles to process the fact that her birth mother had been searching for her all these years. She learns that Mary had tried to find her several times but had been unsuccessful due to legal roadblocks and lack of information.

The episode then takes a heartbreaking turn as Mary shares the devastating news that Cherie's birth father has passed away. This discovery adds a layer of complexity to the reunion, as Cherie had always hoped to meet her biological father and now fears that it's too late.

The Long Lost Family team does not give up, and with a stroke of luck, they are able to track down a cousin of Cherie's biological father, who is willing to speak with her. Cherie is overjoyed to learn more about her father and what he was like, and even more grateful to feel a newfound sense of connection to him despite never being able to meet him in person.

Through tears and laughter, Cherie and Mary navigate the complex emotions that come with a reunion after so many years. As the episode comes to a close, viewers are left with a sense of hope and the knowledge that even long-lost connections can be rekindled with the help of technology and a dedicated team of professionals.

Overall, "A Hole In My Soul" is a touching episode that delves deep into the complexities of family dynamics and the power of human connection. It's a reminder that no matter how much time has passed, it's never too late to find your way back to the people who matter most.
