Married. 34. Adopted as a baby.
Did you always know you were adopted?
“...bearing in mind I’m half Indian half Nigerian, I was adopted by an Indian family”
What were the hardest things for you about being adopted?
“ ...there’s a mine of information available to kids nowadays but back then there wasn’t that much so I didn’t really know who I was or where I came from…”
Have you decided to look for your birth family?
“...my wife said just wait a few more minutes and I got a little tetchy, a little bit edgy then and we were about to go and her car came down the street and pulled onto her drive and that was when I saw her and that was amazing”
Do you know why you were taken in to care?
“...she wasn’t married and I think back in 1974 as a young Asian girl that was pretty much frowned upon in a large way so I don’t think she, I don’t she could have kept me if she wanted to.”
