'It took me 55 years to find my family': Two sisters who met each other after more than five decades reveal how their lives have been transformed

Last year, Sharon Kelly - who was adopted as a baby - met her birth siblings for the first time. She and her new-found sister Marcia Turner reveal how the discovery has changed them. Sharon, 56, pictured top right as a child, works as a scriptwriter for the BBC. 


She is separated from her husband and has a 20-year-old son, Dexter. Marcia, 55, writes detective novels under the pseudonym M K Turner. She is married to Geoff and they have two children, George and Eleanor. The two women are pictured left, and bottom right with their three other siblings.
