Success Stories

Whilst at my local dentists surgery, I was sitting in the waiting room, just waiting to go in as usual. The dental receptionist mentioned that I looked very much like someone she knew!
I laughed and said that I could have a double somewhere, I told her that I had been adopted at the age of 4 months, she asked if I knew my original name? I told her yes. She replied, I know who you are! I know your mother! Well I was shocked! The receptionist asked me if I would like her to phone my mother? I couldnt resist and said "yes please". So she rang her and only 2 days later I met my birth mother and her sister "my aunt" at a bus stop in Hillingdon Middx.
It was a very tense meeting, Sadly my birth mother didnt turn out to be what I had imagined or expected, having had an image in my mind for years whilst growing up as a child.
It is an experience I wouldnt reccomend due to this, the facts that, "the mother daughter relationship did not exist, nor would it ever be rekindeled" it couldnt be because I am no longer a child, but an adult with children of my own.
Sadly all those years are lost. The good things.
Are that I was able to see who "I look like" At last I had an "Identity", which I never had before! I was able to meet sisters whom my birth mother had bought up... but were different to me.
Who am I like? well I have the laugh & sense of humour of my "birth mother" and the looks too, but I have the "Morality of my adoptive parents" whom im gladly appreciative of for giving me that side of my personality.
I am a mixture of the 2 sets of parent's.
And at last I am happy with myself, and happy with my children.
I am still looking for missing sisters and brothers as I would love to meet those.... then all the peices of my broken birth family would be put together.. if only temporary....
