Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace continues its emotional quest for answers this Wednesday, June 25, at 9:00 PM on ITV1. In Episode 2 of Season 7, Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell lend their expertise—and the power of modern DNA technology—to two more foundlings searching for their birth families.
The first story introduces Jon, discovered as a baby in Milton Keynes in 1984. Given the name ‘Harry’ by the hospital staff who cared for him, Jon now seeks to understand the circumstances of his earliest days. The episode also features Tina, who was left outside a hospital in Stoke-on-Trent in 1970. Like Jon, Tina has lived a life without knowing her origins, a common thread among those featured in this moving series.
The show combines cutting-edge genetic genealogy with traditional detective work, aiming to unlock the long-held secrets of these individuals’ pasts. For those abandoned as babies, often within hours or days of birth, the chance to understand their identity is a powerful, life-altering prospect.
