Jasmine & Patricia

The Apple & The Tree

In Putney, South West London, we meet mum Patricia and her daughter Jasmine, who was adopted from China as a baby.

Jasmine has always wanted to ask Patricia, who suffered the loss of her birth daughter at a very young age, about how and why she decided to pursue a transracial adoption and how she feels about the process now.

Patricia, who suffers from ataxia, a disorder that affects coordination, balance and speech, wanted to ask Jasmine about how she feels as an adult - and a carer - in this blended family.
