Default A DNA question that concerns a friend not me

My friends husband recently had his DNA done via Ancestry. His situation is complicated. He thought he was adopted but now we realise he wasn’t, he was brought up in a family group home in the North East by a couple he thought were his adoptive parents but now realises they were just council employees. He feels his whole life has been a lie. He grew up with their surname as his, so has no idea what his real name was.
His DNA profile, which I haven’t seen myself, shows Scandinavian, Scottish/Irish and south of England Ancestry. Apparently it tells him he has two connections in the 1920’s who emigrated to Australia. He wasn’t born until 1954.

Any advise please? I know nothing about DNA. I do have an Ancestry sub which my friend doesn’t have.
