Return to Amish: Jeremiah Raber’s Birth Father Death Revealed

Jeremiah Raber went on a mission to find out about his birth father in the last season of Return to Amish. He was adopted into the Amish community as a baby. So, he wanted to find out more about where he came from and why his parents didn’t keep him.

Jeremiah had many roadblocks while searching for his biological father. He thought he had found a man who could be his dad. But DNA proved it wasn’t a match. Yet, he eventually found blood relatives.

He was able to meet his cousins and even spoke to his grandmother over the phone. It was a very emotional journey for him. However, it wasn’t all good news.

Jeremiah Raber found out shocking news about his birth father. The Return to Amish reality star was told that his dad’s name is Larry Hiltabidel. However, Larry is no longer alive.

The TLC celeb’s mother allegedly had an affair with her sister’s husband. And that affair resulted in a pregnancy. So, he thinks that his mother’s sister killed her husband, who is his father when she found out.

In the upcoming season of Return to Amish, Jeremiah continues to struggle with the news that his father was potentially killed because he was born. He left the Amish “quite a few years ago.” And he feels that since then, his whole life has been stressful.

Return to Amish Celeb’s Stress Affecting Baby Plan?

Jeremiah Raber and his wife, Carmela Raber, reunite with Sabrina Burkholder in the new episodes. She spills the news that she’s pregnant. Carmela congratulates her but is also “a little envious” since she and her husband have been trying to have a baby.

However, they have been facing many obstacles to make it happen. And it seems like there is another issue coming their way.

Jeremiah and Carmela see a doctor for fertility help. The Return to Amish couple finds out that “stress can lead to infertility.” The doctor asks them if they are “having any current stressors.”

Jeremiah explains that last year he found out that his “real father was probably murdered” because of him. And that gets him emotional. He says, “my father’s dead because I was born.” Could the stress of dealing with his father’s passing be hurting their chances of having a baby?
