This is the emotional moment two brothers were reunited for the first time in 77 years after being separated as children, when one was put up for adoption.

According to foreign media, the Telegraph reports, Geoff Nobbs, 79 years old, was born in the United Kingdom, the youngest of four brothers.

When their mother Florence died of cancer in 1945, their father Albert felt he could not cope with raising four boys and put Geoff, then a toddler, up for adoption while keeping his three eldest: Ted, Barry and John.

Geoff was adopted by a couple who immigrated to Australia in 1951 when he was just seven years old.

Now, after nearly eight decades apart, Geoff has been reunited with his brother Ted, 83, who flew to Australia.

"It was an amazing experience meeting Geoff for the first time, it was really incredible," said Ted.

Geoff added: “It was really amazing.

To think that I have finally met my brother is just beyond me."

Ted, Barry and John had all tried several times over the decades to find their little brother, but to no avail.

However, unbeknownst to them, Geoff had also tried to do the same and managed to track them down in 2014, four years after older brother John died.
