I am surprised at how many of the foundlings turn out to have full siblings.

So was Ariel!

I find it very difficult to get my head round any of these stories anyway, but the Irish couple who were too afraid to take the baby back to Ireland, gosh. Why didn't they stay in England I wonder.

I thought the same, OC.

Yes, I'm afraid I didn't believe that story. Most of the Irish trees I've helped with had brides dashing up the aisle and a baby being baptised three months later.

They said that Paul was a few days old when he was left in the toilets. How did his mother manage to keep a new baby a secret from her other two children (in a two up two down) for a few days, even if the father was overseas? I suppose we'll never know. Oh, and a secret from the neighbours too?

I wondered that, too, Kite. She must have planned the abandonment early in pregnancy, or perhaps she told nosey neighbours the baby had died? Why did she feel she couldn't keep the baby, a man in the regular army would get reasonably good pay and why weren't they in army accommodation? A lot of unanswered questions again.

The new one starting on 6th June is a bit shocking. Not sure how they handled this.

Ah! Just read it’s about being switched at birth.

I was strangely unmoved. I must be getting hard in my old age.

Well, there was no real drama, was there? All very matter of fact and accepting, which is great for Chris, but does not make for interesting television.

Thanks to my DNA results, I have a whole new family line, but no-one will talk to me at all, even though the ‘indiscretion’ took place in 1874!

Don't they usually have three stories per episode?

Tonight’s episode of LLF struck a chord with me. The son who was adopted and whose parents subsequently married and had two children. I worked with someone in the 70’s who had a son and he was adopted. She then married the father and had three more children. I’ve always wondered if they knew of each other.
