A woman who found out the identity of her birth father online after four decades of searching says she cannot wait to finally meet him in person.

Carrie Fines was adopted as a baby in Canada in 1967 after first being a ward of the Crown and spending time in foster homes there. She moved to New Zealand when she was 18 years old.

After several decades searching, she finally tracked down her father’s number and late last year she gave him a call. 

Carrie told Simon and Phil that first conversation was magic.
