I've been watching Long Lost Family on ITV this week. It is on at 9.00 pm and this week the episodes are Born without trace which are about babies that have been abandoned without any identification on them.
It's fascinating to watch, especially if you are interested in family history research and thanks to the advance in DNA some people have been able to trace their family
The foundling babies have been abandoned for various reasons but in the main have been well nourished and clothed and placed in locations where they would easily be found.
However that is not always the case and a newborn baby found earlier this year in Newham, east London, is the third child abandoned by the same parents !
I've attached a link about these abandoned children but the good thing is that they are united together now. Hopefully with the advance of DNA their parents or any other foundlings can be traced and the children will have some answers to their questions
