i found out that i had a half sister just before christmas that was adopted she was born a year befor me we have spoken on the phone to each other and its like talking to me.[i know that sounds strange but thats how i felt] what is even stranger is that we lived just round the corner from each other went to the same infants jr and senior schools. i have a group school photo taken when we were in the infants and i am sure that she is the little girl behind me.i will be meeting her and her family in the new year i cant wait to give her a big hug as she was not very happy with her adoptive parents.i would love to know why mum gave her up for adoption as our mum loved children.my new half sister is going to see if mum left any photos or letters for her. at christmas she sent me a card that said happy xmas to my sister i have put it in my family tree file so that future generations can share in my happyness in the future. its just such a shame that its taken so long for us to find each other. i shall be 67 this year]
love to each and every one of you
