Paralympian Ellie Simmonds has revealed she was adopted and has now reunited with her birth mother. She says she was put up for adoption at 10 days old and that her mother thought she would've been seen as 'evil' as a result of her dwarfism.
The social worker report also describes that Ellie’s birth mother ‘feels very guilty regarding Eleanor’s disability and wishes she had an abortion, or that Eleanor had died.’
In the documentary, Ellie who also gets in touch with the family of her late foster mother, who had seen her on television and in sport, knowing that was the Ellie who she helped to raise, reads an emotional letter from her birth mother. After the pair met for the first time, Ellie says: ‘It was amazing. I didn’t realise the time was passing by.’
