In the distant past, in Scotland at least, there was shame attached to all of this, so grandchildren were raised with no idea that their sister was actually their mother.

I taught with a woman who was pregnant at 19. She cried on her mother's shoulder.

Her mother, bless her, told her that this was meant to be. It was her grandchild, and there would be no more tears.

That grandchild is now successful lawyer.

I've a feeling that Ian will prove to be the best addition to your life, Lisa...I guess he already is.

Ian's caseworker is one special woman.
