My lifes wish was to find out what happened to me in my first 18 months before I was adopted. I had been told my B/Mother had died when I was months old.(1950) This year I started resarching + found out that story was true, it was quite emotional to actually see her death on the registers. Anway, after searching for months + months I decided to stop looking for any living rellies + concentrate on the past. I should mention, I had actually found one rellie but she had been fostered so didnt know anything about the family. ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT I noticed a *hot match* on my list. I e-mailed + luckily the person who posted was online(she rang her Mum). THEN: a message from her Mum I had found my Birth God Mother!! It was my lifes wish. SHE SENT ME A WONDERFUL E-MAIL it told me all about my early life!! Can you imagine, after 50+ years actually finding that out. It is indescribable, I am still in a dream!!!! SO don't dismiss the *hot matches*!! + NEVER give up. Regards Ann |

Thank you all for your messages. I am still in a dream, I can hardly believe it. ALL this from a *hot match*! She is just an amazing woman + has sent me really chatty e-mails, bless her. I now know I have 22 cousins + other fam. members! But the main thing is I feel a whole person, if you can understand what I mean. I have to confess, I am sitting here with a glass of wine/well actually I am on my 2nd if I am honest, lol( I treat myself to the good stuff for once!). Thanks again for your wishes Regards Ann xx |

Oh YES keep looking Mary, don't give up. Think positive. Put as many names as you can on your tree. To narrow down the *hot matches* don't put 'Unknown' in any of the boxes, I put a ? instead. I feel extremely lucky + just wish everyone good luck in their searches. Regards Ann |
