Noel Radford holds back his tears while being reconnected with his biological mother in the new episode of 22 Kids on Sunday.
A 54-year-old man, who has 22 children with his wife Sue, aged 50, chose to search for his biological mother and documented the process as part of a special episode for the show.
The television series comes back to our screens this Sunday, with the first two episodes being special editions, featuring one where Noel explores his family heritage.
In an exclusive preview of Noel's meeting with his mother, hereveals the surprising fact that she has 22 grandchildren, just after meeting Sue for the initial time.
Noel mentions about Sue: "She's the mother to all our children. We have quite a few."
We have 22 of them.
"Wow," Noel's mother says simply.
Noel states: "11 boys and 11 girls."
She retaliates: "That's a lot!"
The camera then zooms out to show Sue, who addresses the audience: 'Many people say, "Oh, I couldn't handle that many..."'
"But we wouldn't trade it for anything, would we?" Noel says.
They form our universe. They represent all that we have.
Noel's mother says: "Very good."
The narrator states: "It has taken many years to come to pass. But Noel has accomplished it."
Having searched for his biological mother for the last three years, Noel chooses to seek assistance from an adoption expert in hopes of reuniting with her.
During the special, Sue and their 22 children discuss their worries regarding the search.
Some followers of the family might be unaware that both parents were adopted as infants.
Sue and Noel connected during their teenage years and became parents to their first child when Sue was 14 and Noel was 18.
The couple got married in 1993.
The family has welcomed fans into their home since appearing on the Channel 4 reality series titled 15 Kids And Counting in 2015, followed by 16 Kids And Counting.
The newest season, 22 Kids And Counting, premiered in 2023.
In the most recent season of the program, Noel shared details about his early life during a therapy session.
He remembered: "I believe I was around seven or eight years old when my mother and father informed me that I had been adopted."
I recall heading to school the following day stating, 'I was adopted, I'm unique.'
I suppose as you age, your curiosity increases, and the other thing is, time is passing. I'm not becoming any younger, and neither is she.
I can't wait another 10 years or so and then discover that she has passed away, leading to regrets for not acting.
