Ariel Bruce (Tracing Expert)

Über diese Folge

<p>On International Women’s Day meet Ariel Bruce, a phenomenal woman who profoundly changes people’s lives by tracing missing family. Described as the Agatha Christie of the adoption world, Ariel works on ITV’s Long Lost Family and specialises in finding people affected by adoption, using her unique skills as a social worker and her background in care to reunite families all over the world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Born in London, Ariel’s parents were Jewish refugees and at the age of 12, she was placed into care and went on to have 6 different foster parents. Here she tells Annie about her childhood, her work spanning almost 40 years and shares her experience of why people do and don’t search for family, when she feels people shouldn’t be traced and what she would like to see change in the future (her answer may surprise you). Ariel is one of a kind, a real character - witty, cheeky and incredibly endearing.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can find out more about Ariel and her work here:</p><p><a href="https://arielbruce.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://arielbruce.com/</a></p><p>And you can watch Long Lost Family here - have tissues ready!</p><p><a href="https://www.itv.com/hub/long-lost-family/1a8904" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.itv.com/hub/long-lost-family/1a8904</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
