What wonderful young men both those lads were, tribute to their upbringing that they made good both of them, despite sad starts to their lives. Just so sad that other people caused them to be apart from their father and mother.
Good luck to them all as they spend time with each other now altho sad that one lad is so far from his Mum, as he now lives in America.

I loved this week's programme!
Especially when Wayne had been told so many negative things about his father - to find that he was now a carer for special needs adults.
You can't be 'bad' and enter a career like that!

Much cleaning of the eye ducts went on.

Nice to see those twins meeting up and how sad that they had lived so close for all those years and not had the pleasure of each other's company till now.

I liked the way the man welcomed his daughter, and also such a shame they didn't meet sooner. No mention of her Mum and grandparents, or did I miss a bit? I was surprised to hear there was a new baby after the programme, thought she was in her forties but seemed as if it was a new partner she was with so maybe they decided to have a child together.

I wish them all a lot of time together altho it won't make up for all they missed, it will be better than never knowing each other.

I was in tears just after the titles!!
Iki, and Jean, sometimes your mum does know best - unfortunately it's sometimes a bit late!! Keep your chin up - he/they possibly wasn't/weren't worth knowing, but fortunately, genes don't make the person!!

maggie-who know some rellies - and wishes she didn't!!!
