Adopted woman discovered birth family via genealogy website and Facebook, finally finds 'her people'

An adopted woman who spent her whole life searching for her birth family finally tracked them down using a genealogy website and Facebook. Megan Kennedy, 37, grew up knowing she was adopted.

On her 18th birthday she applied for her original birth certificate and found her biological mum's name to be Patti Neil. In December 2018 new records were made available on ancestry.com.

After trawling the site, Megan found her mum's details on the 27th page. She discovered Patti lived in Scotland, where Megan was set to travel in June 2019.
