Long Lost Family

This episode features two women searching for siblings - the first has been hoping to find her brother ever since learning of the enormous burden of grief her mother carried after giving him up. 

Tracey Boyle had children of her own before she learned of her brother's existence - after a stay in hospital following a breakdown, her mother finally confided in Tracey the enormous weight of grief she carried ever since her first-born son was prised from her hands at the age of 16 and placed for adoption. Tracey is determined to find him and let him know he was wanted.

In our second story, a woman who had a strange sense she had a sister out there during her own adoption finally gets confirmation of her intuition. Liz Allward was adopted as a baby, but she always had an uncanny feeling that she had a biological sister somewhere out there and has longed to meet her from the moment she found out she was right.

Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell present two more stories, beginning with 66-year-old Charlotte's search for the baby she gave up as a teenager, a quest given greater urgency by her recent cancer diagnosis. Jenna was donor-conceived and has got absolutely no idea what or who she might find, and is seeking answers to many questions including if she has any siblings out there.

Cameras focus on Mary Arbuthnot, a woman raised by beloved adoptive parents, who searches for her two separately adopted siblings. In the second story, Maggie McCauley's mother had been pregnant in 1976, and now Maggie wants to find her older sister who was given up for adoption.
