Searching For My Birth Family

BBC Radio 4 - The Untold, Searching For My Birth Family

Steph is searching for her birth mother's relatives, who may not know she was born.

Steph was adopted and has never met her birth family. Now for the first time she has decided to try and find them.

For Steph, family comes first. As a self-described 'dance mum' she frequently drives the youngest of her three children around the country for classes and competitions. Steph was adopted, and although her own upbringing was a happy one she has always wanted to know more about her birth mother and blood relatives. Now for the first time she has decided to try to find them and contact them. She has no idea whether her mother's relatives know of her existence, and what effect her search for them may have on their lives - or her own. Presented by Grace Dent.

Producer: Viv Jones
