A woman who only found out she was adopted when she was 14-years-old used a £68 DNA test to finally be reunited with her family 43-years later. Louisa Hale, now 60, only found out she was adopted when a friend of her mum 'spilt the beans'.
Louisa was raised in Melbourne, Australia, but was born in England. The mum-of-two, who now lives in the Caribbean, decided to take a £68 DNA test three years ago. She took it along with sons Matthew, 22, and Joshua, 21, as well as husband Jonny, 59, which changed everything. "I just had to know the truth," she said.
“In 2019, I was back in Australia visiting family when I decided to do a DNA test with my brother and it revealed that we were not at all related. The Ancestry results came with other information about our heritage and what parts of the world I was descended from. When the results came back, I was shocked by what they said.”
