A man and a woman wrote separately to the programme both looking for their Mother. They are half siblings!

I'm so looking forward to seeing that Ecuadorian mother meet her daughter - imagine not even knowing what country she was in/still alive etc.

First time I've seen it - loving it. Hoping I can get rest online

The Ecuador Mother and Daughter looked lighter as if a weight had been lifted.

The Brother and Sisters Mither didn't want contact to avoid upsetting her family.

Sad about Sue/Cliff couldn't she have met up with them and not told her family or it may have been contingent on camera s present - she might see them later

DP and I were both blubbing. (I'm adopted, not found any birth family.)

The brother/sister story was amazing and what a coincidence they both applied to LLF at the same time. I hope the mother does feel able to meet them at some point.

The reunion of the Equadorian mother and daughter was lovely - did you notice at the end, when the camera was behind them as they were walking away together, that their style of walking was identical?

Deborah says that she's grateful her birth mother didn't put her through what she went through (breakdown of adoptions) but she did exactly that?

MumOfTwoMasterOfNone · 27/07/2016 21:19

Will be doing shortly Grin As a result of this programme we had our own little long lost family reunion. I managed to track down OHs biological father. He only found out at 18 that his Dad had adopted him.
We met up with him on Sunday and he is fab but is moving to France this week but has invited us all over to stay!

Ray - bloody heartbreaking already

Theknacktoflying · 27/07/2016 21:29

It just amazes me at how hard life must have been ....

How could Barnardiston not tell Ray about this? Maybe his Mother was an unsuitable type
