Brendan Watkins was eight years old when he and his brother were told they were adopted from different families. He spent decades trying to track down his biological mother and father.
It wasn’t until his 29th birthday he requested his original birth certificate and from that he was told his mother was a nun.
In this conversation Mia speaks to Brendan about the lengths he went to, in order to uncover his birth parents. And he’s taken her through an even more difficult journey of finding out who his father was.
He’s written a book about it too:Tell No One.
