Davina McCall and the team are back to help reunite people with their relatives

- WORDS: JEN PHARO

Lisa was just a few hours old when she was left in another baby's pram with a note begging strangers to care for her.

"The note pinned to me said, 'Please take care of her, I cannot and never will be able to give her a good home where she will be happy. She is just born and needs a doctor,'" recalls an emotional Lisa, who was born in 1969.

Lisa's story features on Long Lost Family: Born Without A Trace, which is returning for a seventh series, hosted once again by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell.

On the show, Davina and Lisa, now 55, head to Christchurch in Dorset and visit the site where Lisa was found. Her mother had waited outside a health clinic and when she'd seen a pram left empty, she slid her own baby in, knowing she would be quickly discovered by another mother who could raise the alarm and seek medical help.
