Forgotten Children: The Homecoming – Thursday 14 May 9pm Channel 4
At the age of four, Rachel Roberts was placed in a Doncaster children’s home. Now, 30 years later, armed with nothing more than a solitary photo from the 70s and some distant memories, Rachel is going in search of some of the other children from the home to find out where their lives have taken them. There are surprises around every corner as she meets a long-lost member of her family – whom she didn’t even know existed – as well as unearthing some astonishing stories from her former housemates. A Cutting Edge film for Channel 4’s Britain’s Forgotten Children season.

I watched the homecomming last night and thought it was very good, I hope everything works out for the families involved.
I was in the care system from birth 1954 to 1965. I have my file for 1954 to 1964, I was fostered from 1964 to 1965 in this year I was abused. My file from this time cannot be found or is not available to me? I want to no where its gone and why?
Can any one help me please.
