No-one must ever know this
Teresa Weiler’s discovery of her birth parents’ shocking secret led her to make profound decisions about her own future. Dr Sian Williams hears her story.
In the late 1950s a newspaper ran this small ad: 'Can Catholic people in London or the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Counties offer a permanent home for an attractive baby girl aged one year who is above average intelligence?’ That girl was Teresa Weiler, who was subsequently adopted and raised in a loving family home. Twenty years later she went to read her adoption file.

Yet she told no-one about it for decades. Dr Sian Williams hears her story.
