Given away to a relative

Imagine finding out that the people you thought were your parents were really your aunt and uncle - and that your relatives are in fact your biological parents.

We discussed this usually hidden form of adoption with Asian Network presenter Suzi Mann, who made a documentary about the issue.

We also heard from Kam Kumar, who was given to relatives as a gift at just four days old and found out she was adopted at the age of six.

While Huma Shah revealed her distress and confusion when she learnt the truth at the age of 17.
