My parents are brother and sister. #thesun #realstories
Teresa knew very little about her birth parents and had no plans until her nephew was born and she began to think about her own future children.
Teresa realised she knew nothing about her own early years and decided there would be no harm in getting to know where she came from.
However, what she learned led her into two decades of trying to cover up the truth of where she came from.
Speaking as part of Life Stories, Fabulous’ new YouTube series which documents the extraordinary lives of ordinary people, Teresa says: “My childhood was a very happy one.
“I didn't come to my parents until I was 2 and a half going on 3.
“They already had two boys older than me. In those days people weren't really told much about their background to the children they were adopting.
“I think all my parents knew was that I had an Irish mother who was unmarried and had given me up for adoption straight away.”
