[Davina] For thousands of people across Britain, someone is missing from their lives.

I just want to know, did you think about me?

Have I been in your thoughts?

Have you tried looking for me?

[woman] I don't deserve children.

I gave one away, how could I?

How could I?

[woman] I just handed him over.

Broke my heart.

Finding someone when the trail's gone cold can feel like an impossible task, but that's where we step in... -Your mum's been found.

-[man] Wow.

...offering a last chance to people desperate for help.

[woman] Open the locket.

That's your dad.

It's yours.

With no idea where our searches will lead, we've travelled the world, uncovering family secrets and finding people that no one else has been able to trace.

-Come on in.

-We've come a long way to find you.

[man] Oh, that's her.

She did not deserve this.

[Davina] And finally, answering the questions that have haunted entire lives.

[sobbing] This week, two stories of women cheated of family.

A daughter searching for the mother she's never known.

There's this feeling inside that I need to find her because there's just this huge gap in my life.

And a sister longing to share her life with the brother she's always wanted.

[woman] I used to imagine being on a railway station and that he was gonna get off the train.

[dramatic music playing] Our first search comes from South Wirral and a woman whose life has been overshadowed by the absence of two mothers.

I adore being a mum, I absolutely love it.

It's just this little person's walking around that's a piece of you, means the world to me.

But I haven't had a mum for so long, I can't imagine what it must be like... to have a mum.

[Davina] Forty-four-year-old Sara Price Parker lives with her husband Mike and their 12-year-old son Joel.

The family live near to where Sara grew up, in Ellesmere Port in Cheshire.

This one here is Nanny Brenda, my mum... -Yeah.

-...with brother John and me.

I was only a few months old there.

I didn't know they had colored photos then.

Yeah, they had color photos then!

[laughs] Sara was adopted as a baby and brought up by Brenda and David Price.

[Sara] Me mum used to say to me that I was special because she chose me, so I grew up thinking, "I'm super cool."

-There's me on holiday.

-[Joel laughs] [Sara] We had a very happy childhood.

I look back now and I'm just so grateful for the childhood I had, it was wonderful.

But when Sara was nine, her adoptive mother was diagnosed with cancer.

[Sara] I didn't really understand at that age about the disease, and I thought that me mum would go into hospital, she'd get a plaster or they'd fix her and she'd come home.

And obviously that wasn't the case.

I just didn't cope with it at all.

Eventually she got so sick, I would avoid coming home.

I just could not handle seeing somebody that I loved so much so ill.

When Sara was 16, her mother died.

The backbone of the family had gone, the laughter and... the spark.

I felt cheated.

Just cheated that I didn't have me mum anymore.

After the death of her adoptive mother, Sara's thoughts turned to her birth mother, and two years later she decided to search for her.

[Sara] Even though I felt the betrayal to my adoptive mum, the questions I wanted answering would never go away.

I wanted to know what her life was like, what happened to her.

I was absolutely blown away when I first got this.

"Baby's mother Denise is a single girl of 23.

She had rather a sad life as her own mother died when she was seven years old."

She's lost a parent at an early age and I did.

The paperwork said that she'd wanted me to grow up in the normal family with two parents, which she never had.

I think it must have been an absolutely horrendous, heart-breaking decision to make.

She's just put me first.

From her adoption file, Sara discovered that her adoptive parents had in fact been in touch with her birth mother.

[Sara] There's a note here explaining that my parents had written to Denise.

I think the purpose of the letter was to give Denise an update on how I was doing, that I was settling in and that I was happy.

I'd love to be able to see what was inside it, to read it myself.

I'm hoping it would have gave her huge comfort and the chance to move on.

-Little Bisham, please.

-That'll be 50p, please.

Thank you.

Sara's papers also gave her one vital piece of information, the address in Blackpool where her mother had been living when Sara was born.

[Sara] I just came for me own self just to have a little look and to see things in concrete, really.

I came down the street, found the house, had a little look, and then came away.

It's just a strange feeling to think that she used to be here.

Hoping that someone might have information about her mother's whereabouts, Sara wrote to the neighboring houses.

I was shocked to receive a reply back to say that one of the neighbors remembers them.

They say that there was somebody there called Pat, and it goes on to say, "She had a sister who stayed for a time and I think she was called Denise."

They also mention here that there was some talk of them going to Jamaica.

When I read "Jamaica," it was kind of... oh, come on.

To try and find her abroad, to me just seemed an impossibility.

Even though she contacted the Jamaican embassy and trawled records here, 25 years since starting her search, Sara is still no closer to finding her birth mother.

I feel cheated.

I've lost two mums.

There's just this huge gap in my life, and I do feel I've missed her.

I need to...

I need to find her.

[Nicky] When Sara came to us, she had lots of useful information but had hit a dead end with the rumor that her mother had emigrated to Jamaica.

Before we launched a search over there, we wanted to be sure we had the right name.

As Denise was 23 when she had Sara, it's possible she could have married within a few years, and if that were the case, her name would have changed.

When we checked the marriage records, we found Denise M. Stephenson married an Alfred Sanderson in Blackpool in 1970, a few months after Sara was born and in the same town.

We now knew who we should be looking for, Denise and Alfred Sanderson.

But a check of public records here drew a blank.

It was time to look abroad.

If Denise and Alfred had gone to Jamaica, it seemed unlikely they would have stayed there for long.

The island was suffering from huge economic instability in the 1970s and had soaring unemployment so opportunities for a young British couple would have been limited.

But if they'd moved on in search of a better future, we had a hunch they may not have gone far.

Working on the assumption that Denise was still married to Alfred Sanderson, we turned our attention to public records in America and it was then that we got lucky.

We found an Alfred and Denise M. Sanderson of the right age living on the west coast.

We wrote, and Denise confirmed she was Sara's mother.

Now retired, she and her husband Alfred, known as Sandy, live in Oregon.

Before I met my birth mother, I spent years trying to create an image of a woman who made the impossibly hard decision to give me up for adoption.

Until I met her, it was like looking at a figure in the mist, I couldn't quite see her.

For Sara, I think it's even harder.

Having lost her adoptive mother, it's impossible for her to imagine what it would feel like to have a mother once more.

But what about Denise?

How will she feel about the fact that Sara's come looking for her, and I wonder if she'll be willing to come back into her daughter's life after all this time?

-Denise.

-Hi.

-Hello.

Nicky.

-Pleased to meet you.

-You too.

-Would you like to come in?

Thanks very much.

Did you ever think the day would come that Sara would find you?

No, no.

I dreamt about it many times, wondering what it would be like to meet her and... but I never, never thought it would ever happen.

So what happened when you were growing-- I mean, what was your childhood like?

Well, um... my mum died when I was seven.

My dad got remarried.

And then I think when I was about 17 or 18, I can't remember, I came to live in Blackpool with my sister, my oldest sister, and, uh... that's where I met... -Sara's biological father.

-Yes, yeah.

And we went out together for about three years, I think.

We got engaged, but it was a very stormy relationship, and then when I found out I was pregnant with Sara, I realized that, no, this is not going to be good, and I finished with him.

And I just decided that the best thing for Sara would be to have her adopted.

And did you just focus on the fact that you thought this was the right thing?

Yeah.

She was in the foster home for six weeks, and I went to visit her every weekend.

-On your own?

-No, with Sandy, because I'd met Sandy then.

When did you meet Sandy?

I think I was about seven months pregnant, but we'd only been going out for a couple of months.

I mean, you never know what's going to happen.

Yeah.

So when you and Sandy went to visit her, that must have been so painful.

It was, but also good because I was still able to hold her.

And then taking her back was always hard, but then I knew I'd have next week to see her again, and we did that for six weeks.

And then the day I took her to the adoption agency.

You walk in the door and straight away the baby's taken off you.

-I'm sorry.

-That's okay.

And then you go in another room just to fill paperwork in.

And that's it.

You don't see your baby again.

It was really hard.

But I just wanted her to have the best because I'd had a bit of a messy, you know, childhood.

I didn't want her to...

I didn't want there to be any chance of her to have a bad childhood.

Sara's adoptive parents sent me this letter, I think about two weeks after.

"Dear Denise, a little note to say that Sara's settled down with us.

She's getting lots of love from us and the rest of the family.

Her new brother John fusses over her like a little mother.

When she's old enough to understand, we will tell her that you loved her very much, so try not to worry over her.

We will always be grateful to you for her.

She has made our family complete.

Our deepest regards, Sara's new mummy and daddy."

-That's lovely.

-It was.

And it really, really helped.

I read that many times.

You say that your mother died when you were seven?

-Mm-hmm.

-Well... Sara lost her mother when she was 16.

-Her adoptive mother died?

-Yeah.

-Oh.

-Hm.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

Sorry.

Poor thing.

It must have been awful for her.

She's beautiful.

[Nicky] You know, she would ideally-- and it would be fantastic if it were to be the case-- were you to fill that hole in her life of the mother she hasn't had since she was 16.

How do you feel about that?

Very honored.

Very honored, actually, that she would think like that.

And I'd be very honored to do that, any way I can.

I hope I can be that mother for her again.

[gulls screeching] [Davina] Before we tell Sara we've found her mother... our second story comes from Hull, on the east coast, and a woman searching for the younger brother she's never met.

[woman] I long so much to have a brother, to have somebody who is part of me.

Just to see him and hug him and tell him how much I had thought about him all over the years.

Just...

I've always yearned to meet him.

All these pictures I have here of myself, but they're all of me on my own.

[Davina] Seventy-seven-year-old grandmother Pauline Wood was adopted as a baby in 1937 and grew up an only child with her parents on the Isle of Wight.

It seemed to be something they had to be ashamed of that they'd had to adopt.

They didn't make me feel that I was a part of them.

When I was 12 or so, I heard my dad say, "'Course she don't really know where she came from."

Well, that's not the way to make you feel very wanted, is it?

I felt very, very lonely.

All I wanted was a brother or a sister.

Somebody to play with, somebody I could confide in and... somebody there for me.

Throughout her childhood, this longing for a brother or sister never left Pauline.

Then in 1965, at the age of 28, she made a discovery that changed everything.

[Pauline] My mother happened to mention my birth parents had got married, and as far as they knew, they'd had a son, my brother.

Did he look like me?

Did he have the same hooter?

I used to imagine being on a railway station, waiting for a train to come in and he was going to get off the train.

I used to dream about that a lot.

[Davina] Nearly 50 years ago, Pauline Wood made a shocking discovery when her adoptive mother revealed that shortly after giving her up, Pauline's birth parents had married and gone on to have a son.

It was a tremendous shock, all those years of loneliness, and then to find that I could've had a brother of my own.

Where was he, how am I going to find him?

With the help of her late husband, Pauline set out to identify and trace her younger brother.

[Pauline] Here we are, this is it.

My birth certificate, it's got my mother's name, Martha Stott.

We found a marriage certificate between Martha Stott and George Henry Hughes on October 23, 1937.

From that we found a birth certificate of a son born on the 22nd of February 1938, a Colin George James Hughes, my brother, who... unfortunately I've never met.

Pauline has now been searching for her brother for more than 40 years without success, but today her search has new urgency.

[man] Hello, love.

Two years ago, she met her partner Chris and the couple hope to marry.

[Chris] It's definitely on her mind the whole time, and when we do get married... and Colin is there with her at that time, I think that will make her day, her life, complete.

If he was in agreement, I'd get him to give me away, if... if that was... if that's relevant to somebody of my age.

Making up for all those years, when... with different circumstances, we could have been together.

A family of my own, it would be wonderful.

[Nicky] Despite having Colin's name and date of birth, two key pieces of information to trace someone, Pauline has been unable to find her brother.

Our initial checks uncovered a number of Colin Hughes, but we couldn't be certain if any of them was the man that we were looking for.

If Colin had married, maybe we could find him by finding his wife.

There was only one record of a woman who had married a Colin G. J. Hughes: a Grace T. Roarty marrying in 1969 in Ealing.

Further checks traced this couple to an address in West London.

We wrote and asked if this Colin was the son of Martha Stott, and he confirmed he was.

Pauline's grown up with no real sense of belonging to anyone.

When she discovered she had a brother all those years ago, it finally made her feel that she had a family and a past that she could call her own.

But what's all this going to mean to Colin?

Did he even know he had a sister and will he have the same longing to see her?

Colin has agreed to meet me in a cafe near his home.

-Hello.

Colin.

-I'm Colin.

And this is one of my sisters, Sandra.

-One of your sisters?

-Yes.

Another sister.

Hello, Sandra.

I wasn't expecting this.

-It's lovely to see you.

-Thank you.

Lovely to meet you, Sandra.

Colin, lovely to meet you too.

Um... right.

[laughs] I've just got to get over my little shock there.

Um...

I don't know where to start.

I'm not the only sister, there's another sister as well.

-There's another sister too?

-[both] Yes.

Yes.

[laughs] -I'm the youngest.

-Right, okay.

And then there would have been Michael, but Michael passed away.

[Colin] Eighteen months ago.

[Sandra] And then Patsy.

Patsy couldn't be here today because she's away in a hip operation.

Yeah.

So, your mother... -uh, Martha... -Yeah.

-...never... -Said a word.

-Never said a word.

-[Sandra] I knew.

I knew.

My mum told me years and years ago that she had a little girl and that she'd had this little girl adopted.

Was she emotional when she told you?

Oh, yes, very much so.

She was very upset.

Why didn't you tell Colin, for example?

Um... because it... it just seemed quite a closed subject.

I didn't know nothing at all until two weeks ago.

It's just...

I still can't take it in.

Were your parents married when she was put up for adoption?

-[Colin] They must have been.

-No.

No, they weren't.

She was born in the March and they got married in the October.

Now, in those days, to have a child... [Sandra] Was a sacrilege, wasn't it?

-..."out of wedlock"... -That's right.

I just wished she'd talked about it more; we could have been there for her.

What's incredible is that two months after Pauline was born, your mother was pregnant again with you.

So you were so close in age, 11 months between the two.

That's right, yeah, we was very close.

-Oh, my God.

-[Sandra] Oh, it's Mum?

Yeah.

[Sandra] They'd be like two peas in a pod.

[Colin] Oh.

[Sandra] If Mum was alive, she'd have been overjoyed to think that her daughter was the image of her.

Colin, just in case we found you, she's written a letter.

-Oh, right.

-Right?

Obviously, without the knowledge of...

I'd get Sandra to read it.

[Nicky] You want to read it, Sandra?

-[Sandra] Mm.

-[Colin] Goodness.

[Sandra] "My dearest brother, having been told from a very early age that I was adopted as a baby, I've always felt that something was missing from my life.

It was not until sometime after the only father I had known passed away that I discovered my birth parents had married and had a son: you, my dear brother.

I pray that a reunion would mean as much to you as it would be to me.

I am and always will be your loving sister, Pauline."

Oh, my God.

[Sandra] How lovely is that?

I'm happy for her because, you know, we are happy that we've actually got our sister back.

You just said something really lovely, "we get our sister back."

-[Colin] That's right.

Definitely.

-Yeah.

We want her back.

Just want to welcome her into the family.

-Can't wait.

-Oh, my God, yeah.

I don't know, it's marvelous.

[Davina] Since the death of her adoptive mother nearly 30 years ago, Sara Price Parker has yearned to meet her birth mother.

A mother-daughter relationship is such a precious thing and to grow up into adulthood and become a mother yourself without a mum of your own to turn to is really hard.

But Sara's got a second chance.

Now that we've found her mother, hopefully she'll be able to have the relationship she's been longing for.

-Hi, how are you?

-Sara, how are you?

-Nice to meet you.

Come in.

-And you.

Thank you.

Just wanted to find out a little bit about, you know, how you're... feeling about this search.

You're in a very unique position.

Your mum passed away from cancer, and yet there is the possibility of another mother out there.

Um...

It's hard to imagine it, to be honest with you, with not having a mum for so long.

To be honest with you, I've forgotten what it feels like to have a mum.

-That's sad.

-Mm-hmm.

It's all I know.

That's how it's been since I was 16.

Uh...

I fantasize... little bits about, you know, wouldn't it be lovely to have somebody to confide in and to phone up?

Even a grandma for Joel.

It doesn't have to remain a fantasy anymore.

'Cause we've found your mum.

-You're joking?

-No.

-Is she well?

-She's very well.

Really?

Are you kidding me?

I can't believe it.

I'm glad I'm sat down.

My legs have gone like jelly.

She's living in America.

-America?

-Yeah.

-In Oregon.

-Oh, my gosh.

Your mum had something that's so precious to her, so precious that she's kept it all this time.

That's my mum's writing.

"Dear Denise, a little note to say Sara has settled down with us.

She has made our family complete.

Our deepest regards, Sara's new mummy and daddy."

That's the letter that... that was the missing letter.

How kind of my mum to write that to her, isn't it?

-A lovely letter.

-That means so much.

I really do hope she took some comfort from that, I really do.

She was devastated to hear about your mum.

She's... Got quite, quite a lot in common.

[sniffles] But she done the right thing because I've had such a nice life, I've got a good life.

But she didn't know that, you know.

You couldn't foresee what was going to happen.

And I wouldn't change anything.

I wouldn't change anything.

She's written a few words.

[Sara] "My dearest Sara, when I heard that you had been searching and had wanted to find me, I was shocked, excited and very happy.

Then the next day when I heard that you had been looking for me since you were 16, I was heartbroken that you had gone through all that.

I am so sorry, love.

Sara, when I took you to the adoption agency, that was the worst day of my life, but I was so sure in my heart it was the best way I could make sure you would have a better life.

I cannot wait to meet you, love, and hold you in my arms again and hopefully to make up for all the lost years.

Love Mum."

That's just incredible.

So... here's your mum.

[Sara] Oh, my gosh.

She looks happy.

Wow.

I really have got a second chance, that's how I feel.

I feel incredibly blessed by that as well.

That's... that's amazing.

Our Joel's going to be so excited.

Hey, Joel, how are you?

Come in.

I've got some news to tell you.

-Guess what?

-What?

They found my mum.

[laughing] -They found my mum.

-Yeah.

Would you like to see a picture of her?

[Joel] Yeah!

-I think she looks like you.

-Kind of, yeah.

It sounds like you'll be getting a grandma.

[contemplative music playing] [Davina] Today, 44 years after being given up for adoption, Sara will finally meet her birth mother.

Thank you.

Hey!

[laughs] Denise has travelled nearly 5,000 miles from her home in America.

-[Nicky] So... -Hi.

-How are you doing, anyway?

-Good.

How are you?

I'm all right.

[gulls screeching] [Davina] They're meeting near Blackpool, close to where Denise and Sara were last together.

-[Nicky] Over the years did you ever think this would happen?

-No.

Not at all.

What are you going to say to her?

I don't know.

I have no idea.

I have no idea.

-Okay.

-Yep.

-That's the cafe.

-Okay.

-Good luck.

-Okay.

Thank you.

-[Davina] How have you been?

-I'm just so excited.

It's kind of... when you've got a fantasy of something and then it's going to become a reality, you can't quite believe what's happening.

[Davina] Okay.

You ready?

-Thank you very much.

-Your mum's just inside the cafe.

-Okay, thank you.

-Good luck!

You look lovely.

You okay?

You sure?

Oh.

-Yeah?

-You look beautiful.

-So are you!

-Of course I do.

-Why does all this take so long?

-I know.

-You're gorgeous.

-We've got the same eyes.

It's like looking at an older version of me.

You don't have to cry.

It's okay.

It's all good.

-These are tears of joy.

-Yeah, I know.

I'm so glad you agreed to meet me.

It's courageous what you've done.

And I am grateful because I've had such a good life.

When I found out that your mum had died when you were 16, that really got to me, partly because of what you'd gone through and because I wanted to thank your mum and now I've not got the chance.

No.

I've not had a mum for so long.

I don't know what it will feel like.

Hopefully you have now, lovie.

Because I want to be.

I want to be what...

I would love you to be, I really would.

I think we've both got a second chance, haven't we?

Yeah, we have.

-Honestly, it's okay.

-[laughing and crying] [Denise] I have to say I love you.

I love you.

I feel like I'm floating.

It's more than I ever expected.

It's wonderful.

She's so lovely, and I walked in there and it just felt like an instant bond and we connected and we're talking like mother and daughter.

It just feels completely natural.

[Denise] I want to be there for her.

I want to be a mother if needed.

It's wonderful.

Yeah.

[Sara] It's just like your biggest fantasies come true.

It's amazing, so happy.

[Davina] Seventy-seven-year-old Pauline Wood was adopted as a baby and grew up as an only child.

Fifty years ago she discovered she had a brother and has been trying to find him ever since.

I'm on my way to tell her that her search is finally over.

For Pauline, the search for her brother's really been a search for family, a way to move on from her lonely childhood.

I'm so excited about telling her that Colin has been found and she has sisters who can't wait to welcome her into the fold.

-Hello, how are you doing?

-Lovely to meet you.

-Come in.

-Thank you.

Thanks very much.

The thing I want to know is the feelings behind finding out there's a brother out there.

It just seemed awful that all those years had been wasted.

I would have felt that I had a family.

So you saw his name there in black and white.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I said, "That's my brother."

Strange feeling.

Your brother has been found.

Yes?

Really?

Oh, God.

-Oh, that's wonderful.

-Yes.

Did he know about me?

He didn't.

I've got a photograph.

[Pauline] Oh, gosh.

Oh.

Oh, for goodness' sake.

[Davina] There was someone that did know about you.

Yes?

Your sister.

I've got a sister?

[Davina] You've got a sister.

Sandra.

[Pauline] Good heavens.

Wonderful.

Absolutely wonderful.

[Davina] And there's Patsy.

Patsy's not very well at the moment.

She's had a hip operation.

But she's looking forward to meeting you.

Oh, that's wonderful.

[Davina] But you were looking for one person and look at everybody you've got.

-I've got a family.

-Yeah.

I always hoped I'd see this day.

[Davina] Here's a letter for you.

[Pauline] "Dear Pauline, what a lovely surprise.

After all these years, our long lost sister has found us.

If our mum had still been alive, she would have been overjoyed to think all her children would finally be reunited once again.

We are all so much looking forward to meeting you and looking forward to the future with our sister and being a family once again.

Until we meet, Pauline, take care and keep well.

Love and best wishes, Sandra, Colin and Patsy."

Chris and I are thinking of getting married.

I think Chris wants to wait and see if we find anybody, and then they can all come to the wedding.

Your side of the church will be quite full.

That will be a change.

[laughs] Hello, love.

-Oh!

-[Pauline sobbing] -Tell me all about it.

-It's my brother.

[Chris] After all these years?

[Pauline] I've got a sister.

My golly.

[Pauline] Wonderful.

I've got a family.

-I've got you.

-There you are, then.

It's all plain, love.

After all these years... [Davina] Just two days after discovering that we'd found her younger brother Colin and that she has sisters, Pauline, with her partner Chris, has travelled to London to meet them.

-I'll see you later then, sweetheart.

-Okay, my darling.

Oh, yeah.

[laughs] Love you.

[Chris] Love you too.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-How you doing?

-Fine.

-This discovery of a family... -Oh, yes.

What's it meant to you?

Absolute, complete closure.

It's wonderful.

I just feel overjoyed and happy and... a bit of trepidation, obviously.

[Davina] Colin and his sister Sandra want to meet Pauline at a pub in Barnes in south west London.

It's always good to see you.

-Oh, lovely.

-You all right?

-Yes.

-Are you nervous?

[Colin] I've been nervous for the last three weeks now, here it is getting nearer and nearer and nearer.

[Nicky] Are you nervous, Sandra?

[Sandra] I am, but, um... -a happy nervous of... -Anticipation.

[Sandra] I just want to meet her now.

[contemplative music playing] -I'm gonna leave you here.

-Thank you very much.

-Good luck.

Go meet your sister.

-Thank you.

Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

-In that door.

[Sandra] Bye.

-Here we are!

-Here we are.

-This is it.

-Okay.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

Hello, love.

-[Pauline] After all these years!

-Yep.

Oh!

Sorry, love.

-Hello, sis.

-[laughing] At last!

I can't believe it.

It's absolutely wonderful I've found Colin, but I've got a sister!

-You've got two.

-I've got two sisters.

After all this time!

Sit down.

[sighs] Thank you.

I can't believe I'm staring at you.

I can't believe it.

-All these years... -I know.

We've got to forget that, we've got to forget that.

It's... it's just one of those things we've got to learn to live with, isn't it, and get on with what we're going to do together.

[Colin] Oh, of course.

Yeah.

Do a lot.

Yeah.

I've got more news.

I might get married this year.

-Oh, that's lovely.

-Oh, wow!

-I've got a brother to give me away.

-I will do.

[Sandra] I want to be bridesmaid!

[all laughing] [Colin] This is nice, the three of us.

Near to the pub where they have met is the cemetery where their parents are buried.

[Sandra] Hello, Mum and Dad.

-Put some flowers down.

-[Pauline] Hello, Mum and Dad.

I've missed you.

-Now everybody's together.

-[Colin] Yep.

[Sandra] The bonding was there straight away.

I can't explain it.

Hold her hands and I kissed her and... [Sandra] It's the most natural thing in the world, isn't it?

It's given me an identity.

I want to keep saying, "I've got a brother, I've got a sister.

I've got a family."
