Description

In Ireland during the 1940s, the stigma meant that most unmarried mothers had no option but to place their babies for adoption. 72-year-old Viv came on DNA Family Secrets hoping to find her older sister, who was taken from her mum as the baby. In this podcast Turi catches up with Viv a year after her episode was broadcast.
