Born without a trace, foundlings are people abandoned as babies, who have had no way of unlocking the secrets of their past. Two years ago, we brought together 20 foundlings from across the UK, united in their hope of finding birth relatives. Through DNA and detective work, our expert team have been helping them find the answers they’ve been searching for. But often these answers are not the end of the story…
It’s such an extraordinary journey for any foundling to go from being left somewhere, whether a parked car or a phone box- to finding out their identity, let alone to being united with a birth relative. In this programme, Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell catch up with three foundlings to find out how their lives have changed since they discovered the truth about their pasts and how their new relationships are developing. Remarkably new revelations come to light and there are still more relatives to meet!
