Nationwide Investigations were approached by a client in London asking to carry out a trace for her maternal parents. Our client had been adopted at birth and had never seen or heard from her true mother or father.  She had tried searching for her parents in many ways herself but this always ended in disappointment.  After making numerous enquiries and searching many databases and other sources throughout four different countries, Nationwide Investigations discovered that the client’s parents were actually living just two doors away from the client. The client had known the couple for over ten years and they were very good friends. They would often have dinner together and on one occasion had even booked holidays to the same destination. The couple regularly acted as babysitters for the client’s children and treated them as if “they were family”!

Until Nationwide Investigations became involved, no-one had even suspected the possibility of any family link.
