Oh no, help!!!

I can't access that website - it comes up as website found but will not allow access (or something very similar)

Is it a website that anyone can access?

Sue

Great thread CP.

For anyone searching, who may just have a birth name to go by, there is a website (and I hope it's ok posting this) where you can register the name of anyone you are looking for (& they may be looking for you too?).

It's free.

Good luck to all those searching. I found my daughter (or rather she found me) after nearly 21 years...................don't give up to those searching!!

Sue it can be accessed, don't understand why you were having probs, was on the site earlier myself. Well worth trying again later. Good luck.

Oh how frustrating, I've tried soooo many times now & still can't get on.
I bet its this stupid AOL that we use!!!

I'm going to leave it for tonight (before I throw something!!) and try again in the morning, if still no joy then I'll go to my daughters & try on hers.

Thanks again, Sue

Just to let you know that I haven't been able to get on the website at all. Haven't had a chance to go to my daughters yet but will do so very soon!!

Hi everyone.

My only connection with adoption , is my parents adopting my sister's child. Alas, as CP mother, my sister gave birth without being married.My sister was 15 when she gave birth.

My mum, said at the time it was decided that this was the only option(1977, living in a small minded village), that she could not bear the thought of a young woman turning up later in life, and saying that she was her granddaughter.

I think the fact that my mum herself, was born out of wedlock, made her more determined to keep her (my niece/sister), in the family.

My aunty had a baby adopted when she was 16yrs old before she knew and later married my uncle.
For years she wondered how the baby, a girl, was doing and never forgot about her.
About 5yrs ago her daughter Lyndsey got in touch and they had a wonderful reunion! Lyndsey got on well with her half siblings and they spent lots of time together. My aunty doted on Lyndsey and would have done anything for her and Lyndsey's son, her grandson!
Unfortunately after a couple of years things started to go a little sour. Lyndsey started to make demands and if my aunty said she couldnt provide what she wanted then Lyndsey used to throw out the fact that she had been adopted out etc!
The final straw came when she wanted my aunty to put a deposit down on a house for her...........obviously my aunty couldnt afford that and thats when Lyndsey became really arsey and plenty of arguments ensued!
Eventually Lyndsey told my aunty that if she didnt come up with the money then she would stop her from seeing her grandson! My aunty was in turmoil but knew she couldnt be "blackmailed" any longer and has not seen her grandson since that day about 2yrs ago!
So sometimes reunions are not all they are cracked up to be! It's great when it works out but Lyndsey only got in touch to make, as she herself said, her birth mother pay for the years she wasnt there!!
