Three Irish siblings abandoned at birth believe they may have another brother
Three full siblings were abandoned in the 1960s by their biological parents in small towns in Ireland but left in places where they were bound to be found.
Helen Ward, David McBride and John Dowling were adopted and have had good lives. While they recently reunited through DNA testing, they also believe there is another chapter of their story.
Newshour's Nuala McGovern asked the three siblings about their extraordinary journey.
