Adopted from Birmingham 1956 ,50years ago .1992 traced my birth mother but was told that my father couldnt get involved as he had two children who knew nothing of me. Last year through Genes reunited with the help of a few choice people I made contact with my half sister who then told me my father was still alive.After a few weeks of calls of her getting to now me & vice versa on Halloween I got the phone call "It's your Dad" now that was spooky!!

Yesterday both my Dad &his lovely wife of also 50years made a 7hour train journey from Worcestershire to Fishguard to be reunited with myself.

What a joyous day ! this is only a quick text of what is really behind the scenes.Both my father & myself have been deceived .
We now have a lot of catching up to do ,a lot of celebrating and a lot of questions to be answered. The two who we need the answers off are no longer with us so its going to be a hard slog. At least were together although seperated by 165 miles.

Thanks Genes
