I am adopted and registered on site under my birth name. After receiving an email re new members, I clicked on the link. My birth mother's name & year of her birth popped up on the screen! After much phone book searching, I made telephone contact within minutes to the young lady who had registered my birth mother's details. Unbeknowns to me I was actually speaking with one of my little sisters! My birth mother phoned me that afternoon. I am so very, very lucky as now I not only have my family, but I also have a whole new family to get to know. They were very accepting and understanding, and have all welcomed me with open arms. I have cried tears of happiness since.
