Success Stories

A week last Sunday I found my Birth Mother, after 35 years. We found each other by chance really on genes reunited. I had been registered since mid January. We matched some information a week last Thursday and we asked to asked to view each others trees. I sort of had a gut feeling it was her, but after a few sleepless nights I decided to contact this person through the site and explain who i was and the information in my tree and that if it was her and she couldnt/didnt want to get intouch that I would appreciate knowing and that would be it. Sunday teatime had 2 messages from her and her phone number and found out I have 2 sisters and 6 nieces/nephews. She is now living in up north with my younger sister. She sent me her email addy and mobile number and also a lot of information and the fact that she still had the photo that my mum and dad had sent her. I called her after a few texts and emails and we chatted for 2 hours. We have talked daily since and texts loads. It is so lovely, I feel grounded and that i belong. Last Sunday my partner and I drove up to meet her. It was one of the best days of my life. I felt so safe, happy and that i belonged. It is as though we have known each other years and never been apart. I have read so many books on adoption and never thought that I would find her and get in touch and never in my wildest thoughts be able to have contact and to feel like this and have this success.
