In fact, there are a number of things about the show that only the biggest TLC fans know.
So, without further ado, let’s dive straight in.
Raber was adopted into an Amish community as a baby.
Throughout the course of the show, he left the community behind to discover who his real parents were.
Raber was originally cast in “Breaking Amish” thanks to a connection he had with a producer.
“I knew the one producer for about 13 years,” Raber toldBlastzone Onlinein 2015.
“He asked if I’d want to do a show about the Amish and their lifestyle.
Me, being the person I am, didn’t hesitate to give him a yes.
I did a one-hour interview, and TLC approved it.”
“‘Return to Amish’ has a lot of good memories,” Raber said.
That was the closest I’ve ever been to feeling like I belong in a family."
“I hope I’m wrong.

She was also found guilty of breaking her probation.
She has also allegedly given up smoking since her time on the show.
“It definitely keeps me on my toes.
I never know if my joke will be cut off in the middle of a sentence.
It’s definitely a reminder that we should take everything on the show with a grain of salt!
After all, the editing process can clearly have a major impact on how things play out.
Well, maybe not quite.
“Who thinks that the cast members could be hired actors?”
A few other fans chimed in with what they saw as proof that the show did sometimes use actors.
“Getting a good education is very important to me.”

As it turns out, she didn’t exactly have many regrets about leaving it all behind.
I’m sorry.”
Well, that’s a far cry from an outright no, isn’t it?
