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

I just want my dad to be proud of me... to turn round and say, "That's my son."

[woman] It was a secret.

And finding my brother would put an end to that secret.

[woman] Who am I?

What is my background?

I need to know.

Finding someone when the trail's gone cold can feel like an impossible task.

But that's where we step in... -We've found your brother.

-Have you?

[crying] ...offering a last chance to people desperate for help... You can stop looking, 'cause your mother's been found.

[Nicky] We've no idea where our searches will lead.

We've travelled the world, uncovering family secrets and finding people that nobody else could trace.

[dogs barking] Laura?

¿Cómo está?

Buenos días.

[Nicky] That's your daughter.

Gracias.

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

-I'm your big brother.

-[laughs] I've always wanted a big brother.

This week, two stories of women trying to bring their families back together-- A mother and daughter looking for a son and brother who was given up as a baby...

I'd hope one day I can meet him and that I can say to him how much your sister loves you and how much I love you.

...and a woman searching for her mother and sister who she's never met.

[woman] I need to have them both in my life.

Just to know that they're alright.

[dramatic music ends] [Davina] Our first search comes from Leeds, and a mother and daughter who are desperate to find the man that's been missing from their family for nearly 40 years.

Val Moorhouse lives near her daughter Marisa, her partner, and their two children.

Together, they're searching for their son and brother, Stephen, who was given up for adoption when he was six days old.

Every time I get a card from Marisa-- Christmas, birthday-- it says: "To Mummy.

Love, Marisa."

And the other side, it says: "Lots of love, Stephen," and a big kiss.

Ever since I can remember, I've always done it.

Because he's still part of us, isn't he?

No matter where he is.

Val grew up in Bradford and worked as a machinist in a factory.

When she was 21, she fell pregnant after a one-night stand, and Marisa was born.

[Val] When I first became a mum, I were overjoyed.

Oh, it were lovely.

To have your own-- to hold your own baby for the first time, most precious thing in the world.

Her dad weren't interested, but I were living with me mum, you know, so she helped me out as much as she could.

But although her mum was supportive, Val struggled to cope financially.

We're living in a one-bedroom and there's my mum, me, you know, and Marisa.

It's a shame it all got knocked down, isn't it?

[Val] By the time I'd finished paying out gas, electric, food, I think I were left with about 50p, £1 at most.

Had no money.

No money at all.

I had to go to a children's charity to get Marisa's clothes, because I just couldn't afford to go anywhere else.

And it were-- it were so upsetting and so hard.

Nobody knows what you go through when you go through times like that.

-Hiya.

-Hiya.

Two coffees, please.

One black, one white.

Yeah, of course.

When Marisa was only four months old, Val fell pregnant again.

Like a fool, next minute I knew, I were pregnant again.

And he said he just didn't want to know it.

On the 27th of March, 1977, Val gave birth to a baby boy.

I named him Stephen, and he had such a lovely smile on him.

And I were over the moon.

But I knew exactly what I had to do.

[melancholy music playing] I'd just no money whatsoever to look after that boy.

If I had have done, I would have done.

And they said, "The only other thing you can do is adopt him."

[sniffs] So, I thought about it and thought about it, and I had no choice.

I thought, "He'll have a decent family.

He'll have decent clothes, decent food in him."

But I loved him so much.

After just six days, the time came for Val to give up her son.

[Val] That morning...

I bathed him, I dressed him.

Put him in his cot.

And then this lady come picked him up... [crying] I watched her walk away with him.

Knowing that I couldn't get him back.

And then I saw they'd turned this corner, [crying] and that were it.

[sniffs] I knew he were out of me life.

Traumatized by the loss of Stephen, Val tried to return to life as normal for the sake of her daughter.

[background chatter] I dealt with it through focusing me thoughts on Marisa and what I wanted for her.

My mum told me since I could really understand kind of what were going on in the world.

She explained that I had a brother.

He's always been a part of our lives.

He's always been a part of our family.

So, to meet him would change all our lives.

Val and Marisa have been longing to find Stephen for nearly 40 years.

[Val] I've just missed him so much.

I've always said to Marisa, we may see him one day.

He's my brother, and he's out there somewhere, and not with me.

[Val] Every morning, I get up [crying] and just hope that it'll happen.

Just to see him again.

[Nicky] For people in Val and Marisa's situation, there is no chance of tracing their adopted relative unless they know their new name.

So, that's the first way we could help.

[announcer speaking indistinctly] [Nicky] To find the change of name, we worked with a specialist intermediary, legally allowed to access adoption records.

After a three-month wait, we got the news we were hoping for.

Val's son and Marisa's brother had been found living in Carlisle.

Although his surname had changed, he was still called Stephen.

His adoptive parents had kept the name Val had chosen for him.

We contacted him, and he agreed to meet me.

For Val and Marisa, Stephen has always been a part of their lives, but I wonder how he'll feel knowing how important he's been to them, and whether he'll be happy to embrace his birth family.

Stephen's adoptive mother died in 2002, but he lives with his adoptive father in the house he grew up in.

[bell ringing] -Stephen.

-How are you doing?

Good to see you.

-Come in.

-Thanks.

So, how has all this been?

[sighs] It's, um, huge.

-Yeah.

-I mean...

I have wondered for such a long time, like, you know, what happened, and, you know, what were the circumstances, but...

When were you told that you were adopted?

What was the story?

From as far back as I can remember, I've always been told that I was adopted.

But...

I suppose dealing with it as a-- as a kid, um...

It was pretty hard.

Why was it hard?

'Cause I always thought that... you know, there was some sort of rejection or I wasn't wanted or... You know.

Something like that.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I had a really good family to look after me, but, you know, there was always those answers missing.

Do you know anything?

I knew she was called Val.

I didn't know I had a sister.

Especially not an older sister.

'Cause usually it's, you know-- the first child is usually the one to go, and, I mean, I can only think that it must have been either too much financially or... [voice shaking] ...possibly too much emotionally.

I don't know.

I just don't know.

Too much financially.

Yeah.

I mean, she had Marisa, and that was tough enough.

She was having to get Marisa's clothes from charity.

And was living in a one-bedroom flat with her mother and Marisa.

And fell pregnant again.

And you were born.

And, um... it was just impossible.

But it absolutely broke her heart.

I just keep thinking how-- how hard it must have been for her.

Giving up your own child.

[voice quivering] I've got a letter from Val and Marisa for you.

Which they've written together.

[breathing shakily] "Dear Stephen, We would just like to let you know that you weren't given up for adoption because we didn't love you.

It was because of our money situation.

You have always been in our hearts and minds.

[crying] We hope you have had the life we had wished for you.

We will always love you and hope you can forgive your mum for what has happened.

Love you always, Val and Marisa."

There's nothing to forgive.

I had a good life.

Sounds like it could have been better than they had.

[crying] I just don't want them to feel bad about what's happened.

You know, it's, um...

It's something that had to be done, I know that now.

I've got a photo.

[crying] [sniffs] It's like looking at pieces of me.

[sniffs] My family.

[Davina] Before we tell Val and Marisa that we've found Stephen... Our second story is on behalf of a woman searching for two people missing from her life-- her mother and her sister.

[woman] I often think about Marilyn and Sarah Jane.

I want them to know the woman that I've become.

And I would also like to know the women they've become.

37-year-old Sam Cashmore was adopted as a baby and grew up with her adoptive parents, Bill and Iris.

My mum told me my biological mother was called Marilyn Parker.

She was about 17 when she gave birth to me.

My biological father was of Indian origin.

Sam now has a successful career working in the City of London, something that didn't seem possible when she was a teenager.

I got pregnant when I was 16 with my daughter, um, Alexandra.

What about that?

Would you wear something like that?

No.

[laughter] I remember loving her so much that it frightened me.

I was a teenage single mum.

And that always made me think of Marilyn all the time.

Nice.

I was terrified that I couldn't love her and I couldn't do right by her, and I felt that it could have been history repeating itself.

It was when Sam read her adoption file that she realized that her birth mother's circumstances were not as fortunate as her own.

It says here, "Marilyn Parker is the fourth member of a family of eight.

A single girl who is a lonely, isolated girl and has difficulty coping alone.

She has suffered a considerable degree of persecution within her family for her pregnancy."

It shows her vulnerability.

She had nobody.

Your family are the people that pick you up in troubled time and look after you and... That didn't seem to happen here.

It was very different to my situation.

I had a very supportive family, uh, that got me through and have helped me raise Alex.

And she didn't have that.

And Marilyn's life turned out to be even more complicated.

Sam wasn't the only child that she'd had as a teenager.

It says 15 months after me, "Marilyn's second child, Sarah Jane, was born."

Marilyn hadn't been able to bring up Sarah Jane either.

"Although she shows concern and interest in her children, it is not enough to care for them in a settled way.

Sarah's father and his wife subsequently adopted Sarah Jane."

And I really feel for Marilyn.

Not only has she had to go through something so traumatic once, but twice.

But, also, ever since I've known about Sarah Jane, a part of me has longed for her.

Because perhaps [sighs] she's felt things that I've felt as we were growing up, and I never knew her, but she was my sister.

Sam is now desperate to find bo th her sister and her mother.

I need to have them both in my life.

They're a part of me.

So, to know that they were both okay would give me peace.

[Nicky] We started Sam's search by looking for her birth mother.

We had three crucial pieces of information-- her name, Marilyn Parker, her date of birth, and also the place she was living when Sam was born, Northampton.

A check of online records revealed she had married and had more children.

But there was no trace of her with her married name.

So, what had happened to her?

We took a closer look at the birth records of the children, and there was something strange on the birth certificate of the youngest child.

Here, the mother is named as Hamida Begum, but her maiden name is Parker.

So, had Marilyn changed her Christian name as well as her surname?

The birth was registered in Birmingham in 1993, so we searched the electoral roll.

[Nicky] Thanks very much indeed.

We found a woman going by the name of Hamida Begum.

Originally from Northampton with the maiden name Parker.

Could this be Sam's mother?

We contacted this woman, and she confirmed that she was.

She'd changed her name because she chose to convert to Islam when she got married.

Now widowed, Hamida works in a local factory and lives with one of her three sons near the city center.

[Nicky] Thanks.

Sam knows what it's like to have a baby at the age of 17, but she had her family's support, and she was able to keep her daughter.

What about her birth mother, Hamida?

How did she cope?

And what can she tell us about her second daughter, Sarah?

Hamida.

Nicky.

How are you?

Come in.

[Nicky] Thanks.

So, obviously, finding you was difficult, because you changed your name.

-Yeah.

-When you converted.

So, finding that strength of religion, was that important?

Yeah, really helped me through.

-Did it?

-It really did, yeah.

So, tell me, when you fell pregnant, was it a complete-- a complete shock?

Yeah.

I still wanted to carry on and have the child and look after her.

And my family wouldn't let me keep her.

But they didn't tell me until I came home.

So, when you came out of the hospital, -having given birth to... -Yeah.

You thought you were going to keep her.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But then when I got home, they said, "We're getting her adopted."

The people was already outside.

-Were they?

-To take the baby, yeah.

They took it straight from the house.

Really bad.

She was in a care home or something, they put her.

Used to go and visit her, a few times.

Did your family know that you were visiting her?

No.

I used to just sneak out.

I did try my best to love her and try and get her back.

-But to no avail.

-No.

And by the time that she'd been adopted, you had had another little girl.

Yeah.

Sarah.

Yeah.

But her father and his wife decided to adopt Sarah.

I think it was the social services people said, "Oh, you're too young."

Mm-hmm.

-Was that not hard for you?

-Yeah, it was hard.

But still, I could go and see her whenever I liked.

It's quite an unconventional setup.

Yeah.

So, with Samantha and Sarah, you've got two daughters, neither of whom you brought up.

Yeah.

-That's heartbreaking.

-Yeah.

I just think bad in myself that I did that.

[crying] Always comes to me, you know, my mind.

That's why I like to keep myself, just, busy all the time.

'Cause if I work all the time, my mind's busy.

I can't think any bad things.

Did you think this day would come?

No.

Do you want to see a picture of Sam?

Yeah.

[laughs] [Nicky] This is Sam.

[whispering] Oh, wow, look.

Yeah.

How is she?

Through her life, she's always been able to understand your situation, because she got pregnant when she was the same age that you were.

Can't believe it.

[laughs] But she had the most loving and supportive parents.

Oh, she looks happy.

Yeah.

But she's gonna be even more happy when she finds out that we've found you.

Yeah.

She found me.

[laughs] Yeah.

Having met Hamida, she told me she has contact details for her second daughter, Sarah.

So we're now going to try and get in touch with her, on Sam's behalf.

[Davina] In the meantime, I'm on my way to see Val and Marisa Moorhouse, who are searching for their son and brother Stephen.

For nearly 40 years, Val and Marisa have kept Stephen part of their lives, in their thoughts and their conversations, and I'm on my way to tell them that he's been found, and, finally, he can actually be part of their family.

-Hi, you okay?

-Hi.

How are you, Marisa?

-Fine, thank you, and you?

-Yeah, good, thanks.

Come in.

-Thanks very much.

Hi.

-[Val] Hi.

-[Davina] Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

So, how's it going?

Fine.

You know, Val, this idea of you bringing up your daughter knowing that your son's out there.

What was that like?

Hard.

Very hard.

So hard, and it hurt so much that I couldn't have them both together.

[Marisa] It's like an invisible person.

Bit-- bit like a ghost but you can't see him, touch him, or talk to him, but you know they're there.

Yeah.

How-- how's it been for you?

I can see how close you are.

Growing up, Marisa, feeling your mum's pain.

It's hard, really, because I can't do anything to help her.

-Yeah.

And that's hard for you?

-[crying] I'm sorry.

It's alright Marisa, it's-- it's understandable.

It must have been very hard.

It's okay... because we have found him.

Oh!

[crying] You're telling me you've found him.

-Does he want to see us?

-He really does.

-He really does?

-Yeah.

And he was really surprised to find out about-- I mean, obviously, he knew he had a mother, but he didn't know he had a sister.

Did he know he were adopted?

-Yes, he did.

-Right.

And he was really, really close to his adoptive mum.

Good.

And he had a nice life?

He had a lovely life and his-- and his adoptive mum sadly passed away over 10 years ago.

Oh.

And he lives with his adoptive dad.

His dad's quite elderly now, so he's stayed with him.

-I'm so sorry that his mum died.

-Yes.

I am glad he had a good upbringing.

[Davina] I've got a photo.

[Marisa] Oh, my God!

[Davina] Here.

Oh!

Has he kept his name?

Do you know, that's what's so lovely... -He hasn't!

-His adoptive parents knew that you wanted to call him Stephen, and they've kept the name, and he's called Stephen.

Isn't that lovely?

Can't believe it.

Read this.

"Dear Val and Marisa, First off, Val, I would like to say I've always thought about you and wondered.

I were never angry and always thought there must have been a good reason for you to give me up.

I was raised in a very loving family [crying] and looked after very well.

I cannot wait to meet both of you.

I'm sure we will have a lot to talk about.

[crying] Stephen."

[Davina] What does that mean to you guys?

-[Val] World.

-Everything.

[Val] The world.

To put me arms round him and cuddle him, after all these years.

My little boy.

It's lovely, isn't it?

[kiss] Sam Cashmore is looking for her birth mother and sister.

We found her mother, Hamida, living in Birmingham, and now, we've also made contact with Sam's sister, Sarah.

Sarah had no idea about Sam's existence, and although she was happy to be found, she's asked for some time to come to terms with the news.

For years, Sam has felt a longing for two women that she doesn't know-- her mother and her sister.

And I'm about to tell her that they've both been found.

[doorbell rings] -Hi.

-Hi.

Hi.

-How are you?

-Good.

-You alright?

-Yes.

Come in.

Please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Davina] Thanks.

So, I just wanted to talk about the fact that you've got a birth mother and a sister, but they've never actually been part of your life.

It always felt like there was someone missing.

Um, this-- a void, I think, growing up.

When you became pregnant at the same age as your mother, did it change the way you thought about her?

It definitely gave me a greater understanding of the situation.

And I just want her to know everything's okay and that I've had the best life.

She gave me the best opportunity by what she did, and I want her to feel peace about the whole situation.

She'll be very pleased to hear that.

Because we have found her.

[crying] You okay?

Yeah.

Oh.

Is she well?

She is.

I think it'll mean a lot to her to know that you've had a good life, because she really... -Hasn't, has she?

-...has... Well, she's had a tough time.

She was really upset about letting you go.

I had a feeling.

She's, uh, living in Birmingham, where she, uh, went after she married her husband, who's called Mohammed.

And had children.

She's widowed.

So, she's alone now.

She converted to Islam, and she changed her name to Hamida and... -Oh, my God.

-Yeah.

Wow.

Would you like to see a picture?

-I'd love to see a picture.

-Yeah.

[Davina] Here's Hamida.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

I can't believe it.

[sniffs] I've imagined this moment my whole life.

[voice shaking] My whole life.

And, obviously, you know about your half-sister, Sarah.

Well, we found her... and Sarah didn't know about you.

So, it's been a big shock for her.

Mm-hmm.

I can imagine.

I can imagine.

And something that she's processing at the moment.

I think in that situation, I don't know how I would-- you know, it must be a huge shock.

I totally understand.

Um, but I just hope she's okay.

That's the key thing, you know.

I hope she's okay.

She's okay.

And she's married.

-She's got two little boys.

-[crying] That's good.

And she's happy, and everything's, okay?

That's so good.

It's so good to know they're okay.

It's like a weight.

I can't even... -Is it?

-...express.

Oh.

So pleased, I'm so pleased.

Today, Sam will take the first steps towards meeting her birth family, when she's reunited with her mother, Hamida.

-Hi!

-Hi, Davina.

How's things?

-You ready?

-Yes.

-I'm ready.

-Let's go.

Mother and daughter are meeting in Northampton, where Hamida gave birth to Sam.

[Nicky] So, how are you feeling?

Bit nervous and excited.

Yeah, inside.

[Hamida] It's hard when you walk away from someone who you love and you can't take them with you.

She was still in my heart.

-[Davina] Are you nervous?

-Very, yeah.

Such a huge thing, you know, to finally, um... you know, meet this woman that I've thought about for so long, for so many years.

[Sam] Yeah, I'm okay.

She's not far away from me now, is it?

Well, this is it.

That's where you're gonna go meet Sam.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

[sentimental music playing] So, Sam, I'm gonna say goodbye to you here.

-Thanks, Davina.

-Aw.

[inaudible] -Good luck.

-Thank you.

She's just in the café.

Hello.

How are you?

-You okay?

-[sniffs] You alright?

[crying] Sorry.

Oh, dear.

Yeah, shocked.

How have you been keeping, okay?

Yeah.

Really well.

-I'm so overwhelmed.

[crying] -Hmm.

Me too.

But it was really hard for me to leave you.

I know.

I know.

-[sniffs] -It's alright.

You know?

I've had the best life.

Really have.

You know?

I wanted her to see I'm happy, and I've had a good life, and, you know, that she did the right thing.

I'm so proud.

That means a lot to me.

I feel so good inside, meeting her.

Like a weight has gone off my shoulders.

[Sam] I've been waiting for today my whole life.

If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here.

I just feel so thankful.

So thankful.

[Nicky] Not long after Sam and Hamida met, Sam's sister Sarah got in touch to say she was ready to talk to us.

Sarah still lives in Northampton, and I'm on my way to find out how she feels about having a sister she knew nothing about.

[bell ringing] -Hello.

-[laughs] Hi.

-Hiya.

Come in.

-I'm Nicky.

Thank you.

-Thanks.

Come in.

-After you.

So, Sarah, when you found out "I've got this sister Sam," um... was that a good feeling?

Yeah.

But I was shocked.

Obviously, not knowing anything, and then, all of a sudden, finding out that I had a sister.

Um, it was overwhelming.

I mean, that takes a bit of getting your head round, eh?

Yeah, still sinking in a bit, I think, now.

-Is it?

-Yeah.

But I've had support of my adoptive mum.

-So, you're close to her?

-Yes.

Yeah.

How do you get on with Hamida?

Hamida was more like an aunt role than like a mother role.

I didn't know she was my birth mother until later on, when I was probably about 11 or 12.

Was it difficult?

It was at first, but I think by knowing now about Sam, I can understand that she put up with a lot of stuff in her life.

So, all this new information and the news about your sister has just come at you out of the blue, but for Sam, it's been something always there.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

[Nicky] There's your sister.

Bit more real now, seeing a picture.

Hmm.

Do you feel a connection?

Yeah.

A warm kind of connection feeling.

I have actually got a sister, a big sister out there.

I'm looking forward to building a relationship.

[Davina] We've now told Sam the good news that her sister Sarah wants to see her, and they're meeting in London for the first time.

[announcer speaking indistinctly] -Hi.

-Hello.

-How are you?

-How are you?

I'm well, I'm well.

Bit nervous.

Yeah, same here.

Yeah.

Yeah, my heart was racing, actually, a little bit.

Mine too.

Oh, my God, it's so nice to see you.

Yeah, and you.

[Sam] Ah, gosh, it's been a long time.

[Sarah] Yeah.

It's just been wonderful to finally get to meet Sarah.

It felt like I was meeting, you know, the younger sister that I'd often dreamt of and imagined in my mind.

That's me when I was like-- was maybe like 6.

That photo's really strange, 'cause my son looks similar.

You've got pictures with you?

Yeah, yeah, boys, pictures with me, yeah.

Got their school photo.

How cute.

Ahh.

They're so cute.

[Sarah] I know it sounds strange, but it feels like I've known her for ages.

I look forward to, you know, building on that friendship, um, and I'm just ecstatic that, you know, she's hopefully going to be a part of my future.

Is that straight?

For 40 years, Val Moorhouse and her daughter Marisa have wanted their son and brother Stephen to be part of their family.

And today, they're going to be reunited with him at last.

Oh, my gosh, it's today!

-Are you excited?

-Yeah.

Oh, I'm so happy for you guys.

-[inaudible] -I bet you are.

Right, ready?

Stephen has made the trip from Carlisle to Leeds.

-[Nicky] Stephen?

-[laughs] -How are you doing?

-How are you?

I'm not too bad.

Not too bad.

[Nicky] Right.

[Nicky] What have the nerves been like?

It's pretty-- pretty bad.

The main thing is that I want to let them know that, you know, that it was okay for her to do what she did.

And I don't want her to feel guilty or, you know, bad about it.

[Davina] The family are going to meet in a restaurant in the city center.

-Good luck.

-Thank you very much.

Thanks for your help.

[laughs] [sighs nervously] [Davina] Stephen's been part of your lives forever.

[Marisa] Yeah.

And now, you're actually gonna meet him.

Yeah.

Can't wait.

What does that feel like?

Lovely.

I thought that, deep down, he wouldn't forgive me for what I'd done.

[Davina] And you've lived with that... And I've lived with that all these years.

-[Davina] All those years, yeah.

-Yeah.

And now, I can turn round and tell him how sorry I am.

And just to turn round and say, "Hello, son."

Well, this is where I say goodbye.

Yeah?

Aw.

-Good luck.

-Thank you so much.

-Good luck, both of you.

-Thank you so much.

Stephen's in the café over there.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

[contemplative music playing] [exhales nervously] Come on.

[Val crying] [kiss] [Marisa crying] Are you alright?

Yeah?

Sure?

Yeah.

All I can say is sorry.

-You don't need to say sorry.

-[crying] [Stephen] There's nothing to forgive.

[Val crying] -I can't believe this.

-So nice.

My little brother.

My big sister.

[laughs] -I didn't even know you existed.

-I know.

-[Stephen laughs] -I've always known about you.

[Stephen laughs] Do you want to sit down?

I can't get over how much she looks like me.

[Marisa and Stephen laugh] How did you feel about meeting me?

I were a bit nervous, of course, but, yeah, I wanted to meet you.

I just-- I would just want you to know that, um, there's no need to feel guilty about any of it.

'Cause, you know, I had a great life.

-Did you?

-Yeah.

Yeah.

Good.

Good.

And good parents and a good family.

-[Val] Oh, brilliant.

-So...

It weren't 'cause I didn't love ya.

'Cause I did.

I thought the world of ya.

I can get that.

[laughs] [Val] I'm just over the moon... to know that I've got me two children with me.

And that he's so-- so happy that he's met us.

-[Marisa] You're our Stephen.

-[Val laughs] You've always been our Stephen.

It's nice to hear that, actually.

-[Marisa] Good.

-[Stephen] It is.

[Stephen] I'm really happy.

It's almost like I was a part of that family but I wasn't there.

Like...

I'm so lucky.

I've got two families.

[laughs] I've met my brother, and he's lovely.

[Stephen talking and laughing] [Val] It was just so nice.

After all those years, to have him back in my life is lovely.

[crying] [Davina] Next time on Long Lost Family... an extraordinary tale of a daughter born out of a love affair between a nun an d a Salvadoran guitar player.

It's a romance, a fairy story.

It's a great story, but it's actually not my story, it's my real life.

...and a woman needing answers about the decision her mother made.

[woman] Ultimately, my mother didn't want me.

And why was that?
