Episode 3

Deborah Ozturk - who was born in Australia and adopted by a British family - has spent years longing to find her birth mother and thank her for the incredible sacrifice she made in giving her up as a baby. Deborah learned as a teenager that her adoptive parents actually knew her mother, who had chosen them to bring her up. The programme also details the story of Ray Jones, who at the age of two was separated from his mother and younger brother and put in a children's home. It was only last year, after accessing his case file, that Ray uncovered the biggest missed opportunity of his life. The file contained a letter written by his mother when he was 15, saying that she wanted him back. Ray never received the letter. Although he fears that it is too late to know his mum, Ray hopes that he can find his brother and get some answers about his past.
