Long Lost Families

[Hepzibar]

How heartbreaking for Margarite, 2 years after she saw her mum for the last time, her foster parents died and she went into care. How will her BM feel, how will she live with that knowledge.

A first for me. Am usually sobbing uncontrollably but didn't feel the connection tonight. Daughter and dad just seemed.... normal and the other story you felt from the beginning wasn't going to get the desired result.

Same for me Doc

I felt the same. I couldn't see how the Scottish lady was going to find her mum. How tragic for her. Is this the first time that they haven't found the person they're looking for. I assumed that they only broadcast the successes.

As for the daughter and dad, I couldn't help but think he was a bit of a cad. Obviously I don't know what the legal situation was then but nowadays someone from Barbados can work in the UK with a visa so he might have been able to stay. If he couldn't there was nothing stopping him staying in contact to even just find out whether his child was a boy or girl.

Me too. The chances of finding the Scottish mother seemed impossible - but it was nice that she met her half brother and his family. I admired her putting such a positive spin on them both being abandoned on doorsteps.

I didn't feel any connection from the dad towards his daughter at all. She seemed a lovely woman, but he came across as mildly curious and not much else.

It was lovely that they featured other foundlings. Let's hope one of them has a happy ending.

We visited the Coram Hospital museum last year. It is a fascinating but extremely moving place.

So pleased Ally met her half brother. At least she has people in her life that are blood relatives. It was so sad when the lady a couple of weeks back said she had never met anyone she was truly related to as she had never had a child. She then met her eldery mum in S Africa and then a half brother, nephews, nieces etc.

I'm going to miss sobbing every Wednesday evening! Such a lovely series.

Oh my goodness. Three sisters. I'm absolutely blubbing.
