In this segment of the Karamo talk show, a distressed woman (Speaker A) shares her long‑standing, painful quest to locate her biological father after 23 years. She expresses frustration, stress, and feelings of abandonment, especially as her mother’s past choices have left her to bear the emotional burden. Karamo responds with empathy, acknowledging the heartbreak of dealing with parental decisions and emphasizing that the woman is not alone, highlighting the love and support she does have. The conversation turns to a recent Facebook message from a man who claims he might be her father but lacks the funds for a DNA test. Karamo offers to finance the DNA testing and facilitate a meeting, aiming to provide the woman with closure. The exchange showcases Karamo’s therapeutic approach, the emotional weight of unknown parentage, and the practical steps toward resolution.
It says, "Hope Tim is not your father." I'm sorry. It's okay. It'll be all right.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You've been set on this path that you had nothing to do with. It was your mother's choices. I wanna get your husband to come down here 'cause your wife is hurting. Can you come down here with your wife? Tim, I'm gonna thank you for being here. I'm gonna let them two have a moment. I can talk to them. Yes. Thank you so much. We'll see you backstage. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you. There you go, love. It's all right. We'll get there one day.
When? When I'm 50? I just don't understand why she has to make it so hard.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's so stressful. It's just kind of stupid that I gotta find her baby daddy.
Yeah. No, it's very heartbreaking for you. And one of my things for me is I hate when I see adults who have to still deal with the pain of their parents who didn't make the proper choices for them. It breaks my heart. It breaks my heart. And that's what you're dealing with. You constantly have to like, you're fixing her mess from years ago. But I'll tell you the beauty of this is that you do have at least someone who loves you. Who's around you, who's supporting you. So at least you're not alone in this. And I know it's not enough to fill that hole of not having your father, but at least you should know that you have this.
Right.
She knows I'm here. Yeah. Now you shared with a Facebook message you received yesterday with my producers. Can we take a look at this?
Yeah, if you want.
So this is a man that hit you up and said, I know I should have reached out a long time ago, but my life has been a mess except the last year. Since I've been out and doing good, working and getting my life in order, if you're all right with it, maybe we could talk on here some and to get to know each other. And maybe when I can get the money up, we can check and see if I'm your dad. So I'm a big believer in fate. I even got chills reading that because I think as you're coming on this show, the fact that you would get that message when you're arriving here and he's saying he doesn't have the money, I would love to support you and pay for him to come here to get you your DNA test and get you your answer. Would that help you?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. 'Cause I don't want you to have to wait another 3 years like you did with Tim.
