My pleasure Rose :))

Have just spoken to him there xxx

Hi Gerald

Do hope you will come through, Whirley and I did our rollercoaster ride together ... different 'walks' yet just as emotional, as have many of us here.

I am searching for siblings who have no idea I exist, well ... a miracle happened and I discovered one, a long-lost adopted sister here on GR, just over a year ago. Tis how this thread started, I asked a question, 'What's it like to meet up with an adopted sibling' then met Whirley, Sheila, miss chief, Moy and Funny Fairy Sara.

Since then so many have 'passed' through this thread, so many lovely siblings, all different stories yet we have held hands, supported each other, listened, helped and advised, laughed and cried too.

Welcome my friend, we are here to help, hold your hand, be there for you.

xxx Shimms xxx

That was a memorable weekend for us both Shimm's, in different ways.

Hi Gerald
Welcome to sibling's were all here to help one another so your welcome to talk to any of us , we have all been through the same kind of situation and understand how it can be.
As shimms said it's can be a rollacoaster ride but there is plenty of people here to support you when you need it,
Take care

Hi ,

Just found this a lovely poem for both birth Mothers and adoptive Mothers

LEGACY OF AN ADOPTED CHILD

Once there were two women who never knew each other
One you do not remember, the other you call Mother

Two different lives shaped to make you one
One became your guiding star, the other became your sun

The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it
The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it

One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name
One gave you a talent, the other gave you aim

One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried you tears

One made an adoption plan, that was all that she could do
The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you.

Now, which of these two women, Are you the product of?
Both, my darling, Both, Just two different types of love.

Hi anyone
Don't know what's happened to everyone who used to post on this and the other thread but it seem's no one want's to share their problem's or share their new found sibling's on this thread. That is sad as I used to enjoy reading about these thing's. Please don't let this thread disappear into oblivion as it was a good place to share these thing's with other peep's.
Hi Shimms,Helen,Sheila
hope you are all well

Shimms
Will speak to you when you get back from your hol's hun

Diane xx

Hi Diane,

How are you ? Shimms, hope you are having a great time :O) this thread does sometimes have its peak and troughs, as some people tend to get off their roller coaster for a break sometimes :O)
Also the may still be waiting for info to proceed with their search, to all out there still looking, hope all is going well for you, take care :O)

I'm still here Diane!!! I thought the thread had vanished.
I am in regular contact with one Brother in particular,we just seemed to click.My other one is such a mad character (I don't mean mad mad).I don't feel that we will ever see much of eachother,but I will always keep in touch.
The other 2 siblings I will never get to meet,as they want nothing to do with the family.It is a pity but I understand their decision.
Hope everyone is happy

It's still a rollercoaster for some of us....

lovely poem there Sheila...........x

Yes Shimmer's we both hopped onto that rollercoaster the same weekend, I remember it well:)

Hi Sheila
good to see you posting to my message, yes I'm fine, have come to a standstill at the moment as I have been very busy with work. I just thought I'd nudge up for anyone who needed the thread, as Helen said she thought the thread had vanished, she musen't have it on her thread's.
Hope you are well , take care

Hi helen
glad to see you posted to my message, glad to hear you are in contact with two of your brother's, it's a pity about the other two sibling's, I suppose two is better than none at all. I hope one day my half sister decides to get back in contact with me, though the only way she can is if she made a note of my e-mail addy or she rejoin's GR.
take care
Diane x

Hi Whirley

Hi Shimms

missing you
luv Diane xx

Hi Sheila
Hi Helen
Hi Whirley
Hi Shimms
Just a quick message to all of you as it is very late as you can see by the time I am posting. Wanted to let you all know I have an address for my half sister thank's to another GR member. It's a long story how she was able to give me the address { in fact a weird one full of " OMG " I don't believe this } and that's the way it continued. Will enlighten you more when I have more time, must be off to my bed am up at 7-00am for work
hope you are all well, take care speak to you all soon
luv Diane x x

Hi anyone
me again, since I last posted I have found a few more people to add to my tree. My half brother has a lot more sibling's than I knew about on his father's side. It seem's his father married 3 time's, once before he was married to my BM and once after my BM. He had 2 children to his first wife 1 { which was my half brother } to his second wife and then possibly a further 5 to his third wife. I have found some-one on GR who may be able to put me in touch with my brother, also I have an address for my half sister who I was in touch with via GR until her tree disappeared. I am trying to pluck up the courage to get in touch with her.
I hope everyone is well and enjoying the nice weather we have had,

Hi Shimms
Hi Sheila
Hi Whirley
Hi Helen
Hope your all doing alright as I haven't seen anyone on this thread for some time
take care all

Hi Diane,good luck with your continuing search.I have finished mine now,as I know that the 2 siblings outstanding want nothing to do with seeing any of their other brothers and me.
I think I said before,I set out to find out where I came from and a bit of info as to the age etc of BM and if I had a Father.I did that and found I actually had had 7 other half siblings.I was happy just know that and if anyone wanted to know me that was a bonus.So it is just the 2 HBrothers I keep in touch with.
let us know how you do.
I am trying to go by my real name which is Jane,but haven't changed it on the board.

Hi to everyone. It's been a while since I was last here. A lot seems to have changed. Have I missed anything?
