Who is Kathleen Fraser Jackson?
Kathleen is a 63-year-old grandmother of 12 from London. When she was a baby, she was put up for adoption. She was then adopted by a woman who sadly died when Kathleen was only three years old. It turned out that Kathleen’s mother gave up her for adoption as she was scared that her mixed-race daughter would become an outcast in 1950s Britain.

According to Kathleen, her grandmother once warned her: “I’ll accept anything, but I won’t accept a black child in the family.” Kathleen decided to apply to Long Lost Family after 40 years of searching for her birth mother.
