Parents who have secret children out of wedlock introduce them to their spouses and families in this new reality show.
Many romantic entanglements result in spouses hiding the existence of children they had with other partners.
In these cases, the children are often made to feel like outsiders and are not given an opportunity to connect with their siblings.
Ingane Yam' narrates the stories of parents who, after years of procrastination, introduce their secret children to their spouses and families to help give the children a sense of belonging.
The show delves into why parents hide children from their past and how their families react to the big reveal of the child.
It also aims to show how children suffer by being denied their true identity and how they deal with rejection from people who should be taking care of them.
