Two sisters who have spent their lives as separate foundlings have been reunited by ITVs Long Lost Family: Born Without a Trace. The show, hosted by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell, started its new series on Monday (May 23) with the story of 31-year-old Natasha Carr who sought help from the team after being abandoned at just one-week-old.
Back in 1989, Natasha was discovered in a hospital toilet cubicle in Lambeth and as they looked into her case the Long Lost Family team discovered something extraordinary. Natasha had a sister who was abandoned in the same way. The episode opens with Natasha showing viewers the clothes in which she was found in. She was left with a dress and a shawl cardigan, prompting her to question: "Where does [her] shawl come from?" She describes it as "quite unusual" as it is "handmade with a lot of detail put into it." Chatting about the clothes, Natasha says they are the only link she has to her birth mother.
Natasha, who was eventually adopted by the Carr family at the age of two, visits the cubicle in which she was found in emotional scenes. She breaks down, saying: "It makes me feel like I have a layer missing. Why me? It makes me think, what did I do? What did I not do?"
