I have to thank this website on my mum's behalf, because when i started to build my tree i was looking for her brother and [stepfather] I placed the search about 2 years ago and was begining to give up hope of ever finding him. Then totally out of the blue i got a message from a lady saying that she could be my mum's sister, well you can imagine the total shock!! After days of emailing to each other things seemed to add up...{ she's was adopted the same time my mum went into care}also i found out that mum had also had a twin brother and sister and another brother a couple of years older than her!!!! She only ever thought she had 1 long lost brother and it turned out she had an extra 5!!! all by the same mother!!!! 2of the children stayed with their birth father and the other 4 children including my mum went into care/adoption. They all are all in their late 40's/50's now, and we are planning to meet up VERY soon.... Thank you once again Genes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XXX
