Dave Green and Andrea Urmston reunite as biological siblings after decades apart

Dave Green, a bus manager, and Andrea Urmston, a vending‑machine maintainer, met as colleagues at Manchester Airport in England and became close friends. During a conversation Dave disclosed that he had been adopted and that his birth name was Stuart Proudlove. Andrea, whose maiden surname was also Proudlove, realized they might share the same family.

A phone call confirmed that both were born on 24 March 1966, and they traced their biological mother, Susan, who had long searched for her son. The siblings travelled together to meet her, and the reunion was marked by tears and an embrace. Susan, who later died, was able to see her children reunited before her passing. Dave and Andrea now live in the same city, sharing a family they never knew they had.

The story, first reported in Greek media and later in Portuguese, highlights the personal impact of adoption records and chance connections in the workplace.
