Hi Jane { Helen }
good to hear from you again, glad you had some success with your journey of your sibling's, sorry not all wanted to get in touch but 2 is better than none hun, I seem to be getting more responce from people related to the people I want contact with, for instance, BM half brother, and niece of half brother, hopefully when I pluck up the courage to contact BM and half sister they will want to continue contact.

Hi all
just nudging this up for anyone who need's it

luv Diane x

Hi all
nudge up yet again,shimms leaving has killed this thread, if no one put's up a post soon I will leave it were it is, it seems no one want's to share any sibling's up date's anymore.
Well I hope by bringing it back on page 1 it will encourage other's to put up their post about any update's they have

take care all

Diane l don't think it Shimms leaving that has brought this thread to a stand still, people probably donot have anything to add to it.

Hello everyone - I have not been on here for ages, lots of family comings and goings and lack of computers too........where has Shimmer gone, and why...........will I find out if I read right through the pages.....?

...don't give up looking for your siblings........some of you will have read that I found my full sister at last, in May this year. I learned about her when I was 25, and did not find her until I was 65.............

This year, at last, I can say Happy Birthday to her for 22nd September, instead of posting my birthday wishes on all the adoption sites like I have done for many years.

We have only managed to meet twice so far as she lives in Ireland now. We discovered that we grew up only around ten miles apart, and even, both loving horses, used to go to the same riding stables as children.

((((Hugs))))to all

Eileen
birth name
born 1944 adopted 1946
found birth mother 1972 and many other relatives over the years since, in England and in Canada.
Finally found full sister this year having looked for 40 years

Hi Mummo
how are you hun? Glad some-one bothered to reply to my post, I used to enjoy reading about other people's update's about their sibling's re-union's and being there if they needed to talk,
take care

Hi Diane,I have no more news since the last time,other than I still am in touch with my 2 B Brothers.I think the excitement has worn off now ,but has mellowed into a nice feeling that we can just have a chat now and again.We all live so far away from eachother we would only meet up rarely ,but it is nice just to be able to have a natter.
Jane x
It is a shame Shimms is not around now ,but I know she is doing fine and is happy.

Eileen ,that is wonderful for you.After all this time.I am so happy for you.

Hi Diane, nice to hear from you.
I think its nice of you to nudge this thread up now and again, didn't mean to sound rude with my reply but l think its a thread not the person who people reply too.

Hi Eileen
I am glad you have found your sister and that you have met her after such a long search, it must have been very hard on your first meet with her.
As I have said in the past I contacted my half sister through G R, but for some reason she deleted her tree, I have since got an address for her from another GR member but as of yet haven't written to her, I am planning to do this in the next couple of day's, so wish me luck.
Thank you for shareing that on this thread
take care

Hi Mummo, yes your probably right, just look at all the post since I put mine up, and don't worry I didn't think you were being rude hun.

Hi Jane
thanks for your post, even if you have no further new's, it was nice to see you bothered to reply to my post and I'm glad to hear you are still in touch with your 2 B Brother's.

Hi all
Bye all

Hi Diane ,and everyone.I hope you are all fine and Dandy.

Hi Everyone

Hows things with all of you, ? Eileen not seen you around for a wile, things seems to have gone well with your re-unions :O)

Diane,

Any luck with you letter ?

the thread seems to have gone a bit quite, but there is sometimes a bit of a lull in these searches. It is quite normal for relationships to settle down after the initial contact.

After all you do not have to phone the or e.mail the family you raised by for the to know you love and care for them, it will eventually be the same with your birth family family :O)

Have we no new searches on here ? anyway happy hunting for those still looking, :O)

I still find the thought that I have Birth Siblings very strange.I know we will never be that close,in the sense of seeing eachother often.I am just glad I decided to look.One Brother in particular keeps in touch every few weeks.He works on the oil rigs so is away a lot.We get on great,but as my family do not want to know I won't be able to invite him here.I think it is a shame but I respect their feelings.As long as they are happy enough for me to go and meet up with him somewhere that's fine by me.

Hi Jane.

I think you have to accept that you like with most people in your life you gel better than with others ..... I have 2 siblings that I have found and I am glad that I did the search to see they are ok, but we did not have a connection.
The other sister and I get on like a house on fire, we are pretty alike, and over the last few years have been to our children's weddings, had holidays together etc :O)

With our BM we have contact when we can, but her family do not know about us, and we would not want to hurt her in any way, so we accept that.

I am not sure why you family want nothing to do with your BM, are they not interested or they just feel your adoptive family are your family ?
As long as they support you in what you want to do eg, have contact with your BB then that is good :O) maybe with time they will come around.
If not you must do what you feel is right for you :O)

Good Luck to all those still searching, if I can help any of you let me know :O)

Hi Sheila/ Jane

Jane
glad to hear you have contact with your brother and you are able to see him hun, enjoy your time together.

Sheila
I'm not on the board's at the moment, dealing with a big family problem and my head is all over the place, have been looking in on the thread's and read your question to me, so popped on to answer it. I have finally got round to writing my letter to my half sister only this weekend and I am putting it in the post tomorrow. I will let you know if I get a reply from her.
Take care Sheila x

Take care all who visit this thread
