You didn't hear wrong Supercrutch.
There were more than two cards with birth names on them


You won't believe this but I know that lad Adrian as he lived not far from me when I lived in Otley.

Sorry there were no tears from me at all.

Did anyone else notice that Ann couldnt look Adrian and Sharon in the eye she had her head down most of the time?

I did weep a lot as its always emotional when you see families reunite after a long time. Its because we are human. If we didnt cry tears of joy or sadness then there would be something not right with us.
However what i didnt understand was, was the husband Adrian's stepfather , but sharon's dad or not, all a bit confusing? i didnt hear about another brother must have missed that.

Amazing though how people can be found even after many years.

Sad that Adrian received his boomerang, but no birthday card or letters! and I wondered about the other brother too, was he fostered to another family?

Ann was probably a little ashamed Hayley, although if she was in an unsuitable relationship life must have been difficult for her then.

I felt a bit weepy cos I hate seeing folk cry and also because I imagine my Dad and his long-lost sister meeting...if only we'd found them in time. :-(

Know what you mean about it seeming a long story CupCakes - think it was because it was all about one family - usually it is two completely different family stories :-D ;-)

I thought they said the mother didn't want to tell her side of the story on camera Jude - what hold her husband must have had on her!!

RR Hayley..

Yes a very strange tale in this one.

Something didn't sit right with me either call it intuition but I don't think the so called mother wanted to meet them even though she was trying to show that she did.
I noticed that she couldn't look them in the eyes.
Sorry but something very strange about this one.

At the end of the day it is a television show that is put together to get as many viewing figures as possible.

No different than a newspaper trying to sell more copies over a certain story.
