YouTuber finds long-lost sister after 4 years of reuniting families

Blair Clark and his wife Leah have been helping families reconnect for over four years through their YouTube show, The Leah and Blair Slog. Based in the Philippines, the couple assists adoptees in finding biological parents and Amerasian Filipinos in discovering fathers once stationed at U.S. naval and air bases. Recently, Blair himself became the seeker of a missing piece of his family history after receiving a DNA testing kit from MyHeritage.

The test revealed a 22.7% DNA match with a 66-year-old woman named Fiona from San Antonio, Texas. After further investigation, Blair discovered that Fiona was his long-lost sister. The revelation was particularly significant for Blair, as he had been aware of a family secret since the age of 20 that his mother, Isabel, had shared with him.

Isabel had given birth to Blair's sibling when she was 19 and placed the child for adoption during a time when unmarried mothers faced significant stigma and pressure in the United Kingdom to give up their children for adoption. Isabel never found out that her daughter would be identified decades later. Fiona, having been adopted shortly after birth, grew up in Scotland and Bermuda before moving to Louisiana, Yemen, and San Antonio, Texas.

She later had two daughters, three grandsons, and a great-grandson. When Blair and Fiona first met on Zoom, Fiona learned that she had three brothers, including Blair, and that their mother, Isabel, had never known her. The picture of Isabel helped to solidify Blair's understanding that he had unknowingly known his sister all along.

Blair and Fiona are now working to build their newfound relationship, with plans to meet in Thailand by the end of 2026. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help fund their reunion.
