This is an amazing story - hope they will meet up and go back one day

the journo (same one for R4 prog and BBC article I think) is an adoptive parent and so she got unusual access to the story - generally overseas adoptive parents tell the media to bog off as it gets such bad press.

Tis an amazing story.

Oh yes, Emily Buchanan - there is a link to her story on the "Our lone twin" page (under Child and Prejudice, halfway down the page)

I forgot to listen, Kewc! (Will do listen again now)

isn't it? I thought it was?

WW - were you someone else before? (trying to keep track of namechangers!)

It might be going to be but it isn't yet. Will keep looking.

aha - knew I "knew" you!

WendyWeber - if it doesn't go onto listen again, I could get you a copy. Any use?

beemail · 18/07/2007 23:58

No also missed it - knew it was on but ended up helping friend who's husband had just left her and then completely forgot. I also can't find it on Listen Again - the title was China Girl wasn't it???
Yes Emily Buchanan has adopted - I think from Nepal but maybe wrong...... What an amazing story though. Our children have always shown more interest in birth sibs than birth parents - don't know anything about either though

Oh, thanks for the bump, desperateid - it is on listen again now, so I can, but thanks so much for the offer

Just reminding everyone that this is on right now (although I think it's also on Listen Again).

Can I suggest that, unlike me, you don't try to listen to this via your PC at work. Fortunately my room-mate has gone out to a meeting so I can snuffle quietly to myself.
