Text
After my marriage I accidently found my birth certificate,informing me I had been adopted at birth. This was a terrible shock for me. My natural mother had not been married. My father's name on the birth certificate was 'not known'. I then had to tell my husband about finding these papers. This made no difference to our relationship.
