Joel De Carteret is probably the unluckiest person in the world. Yet he’s also probably the luckiest. When he was five he got hopelessly lost from his mother in a bustling city market in the Philippines. Try as he might he couldn’t find her, and he was taken to a local orphanage. Eventually he was adopted by a caring Australian family. For the next 30 years Joel was an Aussie, but he always longed to find his birth mother. Late last year he started looking, and guess what? Joel defied odds of one hundred million to one and found her. Now Allison Langdon reveals another remarkable chapter in this extraordinary story.
