Finding My Family BBC1. Spoilers

[shrugshrug]

Did anyone watch this ?
I hope Leah gets the answer she is looking for and I do hope they will revisit it when Leah gets more answers.
Her adoptive parents called her Leah and her biological Dad's name was Lee. What a coincidence.

Yes, I watched it.

That was a lovely moment when the Gran gave Leah the bracelet.

I hadn’t picked up on the Lee/Leah connection.

I missed the first bit, how did they find the paternal link - dna?

It’s very unusual for babies to be abandoned 26 years ago - it was becoming acceptable and easier to become a single parent then. I wonder if the mother or relatives were watching the programme. Quite often daughters look like their mum, so there probably would have been a family resemblance. I’m guessing young mum, so possibly only in their Early fifties now.

I saw a bit of this, I missed whether the gran knew of the baby?

And had the dad died?

Yes the dad had died.
The Mum giving her the bracelet was a lovely idea.
I felt they left things hanging a bit - Did the dad have other children who would be half siblings to Leah ?
Was there any more information on her Mum's side ?
Her actual conception might have been traumatic for her mother - it may not have been consensual. Her adoptive mother hinted that finding out anything might be very difficult as it might not be the "the story" Leah had in her head.

Did Leah have a partner or was she bringing up the two children on her own ?
