Family Completed!
Can you believe it? A couple of weeks I posted that we’d hired a PI to find our last remaining sister - Elizabeth. On Friday I received an email out of the blue via genes reunited. When I unwittingly hit the link I was taken to a message from her! She’d found a post I’d put up over a year ago on one of the many adoption search sites I’ve been to and managed to track me down on Genes where she contacted me. We spent over an hour chatting on the phone on Friday night and I filled her in on the rest of the siblings.
So, unbelievably, we’ve actually done it! We’ve managed to find (well, if we’re being totally accurate - all three of them found us!) all of them and are now trying to arrange to get a hall or something so we can have a proper reunion together before Tony’s wedding reception in September.
I’m still amazed that we’ve actually done this. Only 18 months ago it seemed an almost impossible task as we didn’t know where to look and were running out of options. Now, Helena has suggested that there’s a story here that should be written and has come up with a set of questions to help us tap into the various things that could go into writing it. I’ve spoken to the rest of them and so far it’s a decisive yes on attempting to get it down, so wish us luck and I’ll keep you informed!

You’re not the only one who’s still amazed. You couldn’t make this stuff up!
