TEARS of Sarah Meyer and Viewers’ OUTRAGE – the Baby abɑndоned just hours after Birth – her Tearful quest to FIND her Parents live on This Morning!
A woman abɑndоned by her birth mother has returned to This Morning today – 24 years after her first appearance on the show.
Sarah Meyer was left in a multistory carpark in 2001 and appeared on the ITV show’s sofa as a newborn in a bid for police to trace her parents.
At the time, she had been dubbed the ‘Baby In Pink’ after being found in the Surrey location, wrapped in a pink towel.
More than two decades later, she returned to This Morning to give hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard a major life update.
She told the pair how she was adopted after her appearance as footage showed her being doted on by then-hosts Judy Finnegan and Richard Madeley.
In the clip, Judy, now 77, held Sarah and told viewers: ‘This little sprog was abɑndоned in a multi-story carpark. She was barely an hour old, weighing just 7lbs.’

After watching the tape back, Sarah said: ‘It was crazy seeing that again and being back here. It’s insane, full circle. I’ve been able to find my birth parents.
‘My foster parents have always kept me informed about my past, done it the right way. My backstory – they’ve shown me the clips and newspaper. I’ve always had my identity and history, that’s the way it should be. Any questions I’ve had, they answered.’
Sarah’s search for her birth parents will be documented on Long Lost Family: Born Without A Trace this week.
She continued: ‘I’m proud of my story. I wanted to find out what is out there but also wanted to show who is out there that I’ve had a good life.
‘I understand they’d also have the question of where am I now – I wanted to show them that I’m okay and give them that reassurance. I’m at peace with it and they can put it to bed.
‘My birth mother thanked everyone for looking after me in a letter. The amount of gratitude of the people who stepped up to be my family is immense, they don’t get enough gratitude. Nobody thanks them.
‘They are the start of the family for those people, Wendy was the start of my family.’
Wendy – a police officer – originally appeared on This Morning with Sarah in 2001.

Describing her birth father, Sarah told Cat and Ben: ‘The fact that me and my dad are so alike is insane – my dad didn’t even know that I existed. The way he welcomed me into his family was insane. My nan worked in the hospital I was brought into.’
Addressing her birth mother’s absence, she said: ‘The door is open for my birth mother and always will be. I’ve had 24 years to process my story. My mum has had a much shorter amount of time to process it. Life is complex.’
Ben and Cat then played a sweet video message from Richard Madeley, filmed from his garden.
The 69-year-old said: ‘What an end to an incredible story. We were so passionate about trying to find your family for you.
‘Huge congratulations from Judy and from me. Have a great rest of your life and lots of love.’

Sarah was joined on the sofa by Ariel Bruce, the lead researcher from Long Lost Family who used Sarah’s DNA to finally get her answers on her birth parents.
Speaking about her journey, Ariel said: ‘Sarah trusted us with her search and that’s the beginning. I’m very grateful to do this sort of work.
‘We put Sarah’s DNA across the four being genealogical sites. We use a combination of those connection and conventional genealogy to build a forensic narrative.
‘It’s a mixture of science, good luck and detective work. It’s only the beginning of the story though. Having contact is just the beginning of a lifelong journey.’
