79% Informative
A man contacted her on a DNA site - and the truth about her birth unravelled.
She later found out that back in the 1950s , she had been swapped at birth for another baby in a busy NHS maternity ward.
Her case is now the second of its type uncovered by the BBC .
Lawyers say they expect more to come forward driven by the boom in cheap genetic testing.
Susan is one of the first to ever receive compensation in a case like this.
The NHS trust involved in the case accepted its historic mistake and made a "very lovely" apology.
Susan 's genetic parents died some years ago but she's been told she looks like her biological mother.
But building a relationship with that new side of her family has not been easy.
