What happens when one side of the nature nurture equation is a mystery? Eva has always felt that she鈥檚 a product of her environment; her adoptive family, her upbringing - the life she remembers. But what if her birth family shaped her more than she realises? Eva explores how adoptees make sense of themselves when their genetic history is a mystery. She questions how much of who we are is shaped by our biology, how much comes from our upbringing. 鈥� and how to live with what can鈥檛 be known. With adoptee Mia McGrath, Eva鈥檚 adoptive parents Moira and Chris, and neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow.
