IN THE SHORT SPACE OF FOUR WEEKS (SINCE THE MIDDLE OF APRIL), I HAVE GONE FROM OBTAINING MY ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE ( I WAS ADOPTED AT A VERY EARLY AGE) TO FINDING MY COUSINS IN SAN FRANCISCO AND MY MOTHER WHO I HAVE YET TO MEET (SHE IS IN A HOME IN LONDON). AM WAITING FOR WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS ANOTHER COUSIN BUT IS IN FACT MY SISTER TO COME BACK FROM CHINA WHO WILL LIAISE WITH MY MOTHER TO SEE IF SHE WILL ALLOW ME TO VISIT HER. SHE IS NOW 84 AND NOT IN THE BEST OF HEALTH AND I DO APPRECIATE THE CAUTIOUS APPROACH.

THIS JOURNEY HAS TAKEN ME THROUGH ENGLAND, CANADA, AUSTRALIA AND FINALLY SAN FRANCISCO. THAT'S SOME MILES COVERED.

I COULD NOT HAVE ACHIEVED THIS IN THIS SHORT SPACE OF TIME ON MY OWN AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK SINCERELY THE HELP OF MARY, DIANNE + BERNICE FOR HELPING ME PIECE TOGETHER A DORMANT JIGSAW. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN WONDERFUL, SUPPORTIVE AND PATIENT. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO THANK GENES REUNITED. THIS IS A WONDERFUL SITE AND WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO ANYONE OUT THERE WHO WAS IN THE SAME SITUATION AS ME, DON'T GIVE UP HOPE THERE ARE SOME TRULY AMAZING AND KIND PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO DON'T TIRE IN THEIR RESEARCH JUST TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY.

KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK MARY, DIANNE + BERNICE AND ANYONE ELSE FROM GENES REUNITED WHO CARRIES OUT RESEARCH ON PEOPLES BEHALF.

I WILL NO DOUBT WHEN SOME MORE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED BY MY SISTER START LOOKING FOR MY FATHER AND ANY RELATIVES ON HIS SIDE.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL. KATHRYN XXX
