Adopted woman tracks down Scots birth parents only for both to pass away just months apart

An adopted woman who spent her whole life searching for her birth parents finally found them and was reunited with her mother in Glasgow - just months before they both tragically passed away.

Megan Kennedy, 37, grew up knowing she was adopted and on her 18th birthday she applied for her original birth certificate and found her biological mum's name - Patti Neil. In December 2018 new records were made available on ancestry.com and, after trawling the site, Megan found her mum's details on the 27th page.

She discovered her mum lived in Scotland, where Megan was set to travel in June 2019. Megan reached out to her birth mum, Patti, 64, a retired sales person, on Facebook, who was delighted to hear from her - and the pair reunited in Glasgow, sitting and chatting for hours.
