Tears watching a tv programme ........

Nicky himself was an adopted child who traced his birth parent(s). I think this helps him to interview with sensitivity.

There was one in the last series where a woman had given her baby up but her whole family knew about him, she always talked about "her son in Scotland", but she died before they could be reunited. The children did meet each other though. DH had to wring me out and get a bucket and mop to clear up after me .

Then the lady who found out she was half Native American?

I love this series.

It tugs at my heart strings every time I watch it

DanniRae I watch it at work as a PA and we love this programme so much. In the last lockdown we rewatched every episode from the start and we cried so much.
Some of the stories - just when you think it's the saddest another shocker comes along.
I think my favourite - but I have loved them all so it's only by a tiny bit - is the Irish couple who came to London and had three baby then the vile landlady told them to get their bastard out of her house. They gave their beautiful boy up and tried to get him back but the court said no.
They are still together and brought their family up. The dad said "he is our son and we want him back."
So cruel when they were managing but people's prejudices prevented them from being parents.
I know a lot of the time people couldn't manage and it was the right decision at the time but there was a lot of cruel decisions made for people.

We did laugh at the earlier episodes because Nicky was a bit like - so why did you give your child up? As time went on he mellowed a bit after hearing so many heart breaking stories.

By far my most favourite tv programme ever. I am illegitimate and traced my father from age 12 finally meeting him at 28. I hope so many of the families have kept there happy endings going. Tragic some of the stories.

Glad it's not just me. Feel a bit stupid, but it always gets me.

I don’t watch it as I find I cry at everything these days. The news I find particularly upsetting!

I have never watched an episode without crying!
