DNA Family Secrets Series 3
Episode 1 of 6

Olympic athlete Sarah wants to find her father. Jean, 91, wants to know if her mum died during WW2, and twins Tanya and Kim want to discover their origins before time runs out

Stacey meets ex-Olympian Sarah, who's searching for the father who returned to America before her birth.

After 91-year-old Jean was evacuated during the Second World War, she was told her mother had died, but she now has doubts and is searching for the truth.

Sisters Tanya and Kim were internationally adopted as toddlers and believe this was because of China’s one-child policy - they're desperate to know about their origins, with their search more urgent than ever due to Tanya’s declining health.
