This girl from Wigan finds out she's pregnant. She's only 16. Even worse, it's twins.
After much soul-searching, she has the babies, which turn out to be identical. She then gives them up for adoption.
Time passes, and many years later her maternal instincts drive her to find out what happened to them.
Following a great deal of research she discovers that one of them was adopted by a Spanish couple, and was christened Juan. The other was adopted by an Egyptian couple and named Amal.
She manages to trace the Spanish couple, and contacts them. They send her a photograph of the boy, who is now a fine young man.
Unfortunately, she is unable to discover the whereabouts of the Egyptian couple.
As she sits in her mother's house in Wigan, she looks lovingly at the photo of her long-lost son.
"Oh, Mother," she says, "I'm so happy to be able to see one of my sons, but how I wish I could also see his brother as he is today."
"Don't worry," says her mother, "they're identical. When you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
I thank you.
