Long Lost Family: What Happened Next? tells the remarkable story of two women who met up after they were both born in an orphanage in Sri Lanka just days part. When she saw Yasika Fernando's story on the popular ITV series in 2019, Thilinie Horne was shocked to discover similarities to her own family history. Both Yasika and Thilinie discovered they were both born in the same orphanage, Good Shepherd Convent in Sri Lanka, mere days apart.
During her original 2019 episode, it was revealed that Yasika, who lives in London with her husband Tillek and their two young daughters, only discovered she was adopted at the age of 18 when her adoptive parents told her that she had been taken from a convent in Colombo.
With the help of the Long Lost Family team, Yasika visited where she was born but was unable to find her mother and returned to the UK, yet just five days later, the team found her relative. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, Yasika was only able to reunite on a video call.
