Long Lost Family

[WingDefence]

I remember a thread about this during the last series and some of the programmes felt voyeuristic and with difficult stories, but I'm sobbing at the last story of the mum who had an awful family life and had to give her daughter up for adoption at 10 days old.

Probably doesn't help that I have an 11-week old DD now. Sob!

Anyone else watching?

I agree Sloth :-(

That's what was discussed in the last thread I think sloth. There was the story of a girl who found her biological dad but he basically said 'I just couldn't be bothered to find her and it was all my fault' but obviously she was so looking forward to seeing him and in the end it didn't quite work out (from memory). It was sad :(

Just watched it cried lots :(
I felt so much for andrea/Kerry's mum
And for Alan not so much his parents I feel that resentment is going to kick in for him quite soon once the initial excitement fades wanted him to find some happiness too he's had it tough. Hope I'm wrong and it does work out.

What a heartwarming and touching programme. I am sad for the circumstances of both families. That ladies father was disgraceful! I think Alan's father tried to hide or ignore those feelingas a they were too painful for him. Gad tat both situations got a happy ending

I think it's a tad contrived too. I wonder how many people get in touch but not put forward to the program because it isn't that happy ending or the other person doesn't want to know?

I have half brothers and sisters. I really don't know how I would feel. I am estranged from my dad and that side of the family for a reason. Would I want that all rehashed so a sister could meet me?
I really don't know

I do understand that it's self preservation for me, maybe in lots of cases, rather than not wanting to know or being a cold hearted bitch
