Jimmy Carpenter

Available for over a year

Sandra Hobson became a mum all over again during lockdown... She was reunited with her son, Stuart, who she had been forced to give up for adoption when she had him aged 16, more than 50 years ago. She had kept the secret of her first son from her family and friends all her life, but little did she know that he had been searching for her since he was a teenager and they were finally reunited in June last year. Jimmy Carpenter chatted to Sandra about how this story began.
