When Sophie's daughter was 10, Sophie did a DNA test to prove the father was who she claimed. The results were startling. Not only was he not the father, she wasn't the mother. Sophie's baby had been switched at birth. Separated At Birth follows the very real and very raw dramas as empowered characters like Sophie journey to reunite with their blood relatives - many of whom they never knew existed. Robbie is desperate to find his big sister in time for his winter wedding to long-term boyfriend, Lee...but is worried she won't want to know him.
