RRose has been lurking ;-)
She advises that a post had been made by Sheila/another birth relative back in 2009 on 'Missing you'. Further contact info contained in that post. It would be wonderful if it's still current.

PM sent to Marina saying the same.

Wow!

Marina - as Sheila, your sister, last posted 7 years ago she may no longer be watching this thread.

Try to make contact with her by clicking on her name. She's the Sheila Hannigan who started this thread, not the Sheila M who suggested contacting Hull SS.

As long as she is still using the same linked email address, she'll be notified that you have sent her a message. She doen't need to resubscribe to read it or to reply to you.

Hope it all works out well.

Contact Hull SS and see if they can tell you which agency arranged the adoption.
