Asian Network presenter Suzi Mann hears from the people given away as children by parents to other members of the family. Having herself adopted her brother's son, Suzi speaks to those who've lived their life believing their biological parents are their aunts and uncles, tries to understand the extreme measures being taken to keep intra-family adoption a secret and asks why some people give up their children all for the sake of family.
