Wow, that's great!!!
I didn't meet (or even know about) my half-brother and 3 half-sisters until I was 16.

[indiasmum]

shared photos already- we dont look alike as far as i can tell
but am sure we will have loads in common

[indiasmum]

hey franca, how are you?

[francagoestohollywood]

I'm OK, stuck at home with ds who has a stomach bug and is being miserable....

How lovely to hear something so positive after such a sad Between Ourselves on R4 yesterday morning. All best wishes for a good reunion.

[indiasmum]

[OpeningACanOfWorms]

I am SO pleased for you.

[roisin]

Wow that's amazing

[Whooosh]

So pleased for you.

[Kewcumber]

nice to hear good news for you indiasmum.

My friedn who is adopted has no interest in tracing his birth mother but is desparately curious about his birth brother whom she kept. Tracing one would therefore mean in effect tracing both so he hasn't decided what to do yet. I hope your eventual meeting goes really well

[Kewcumber]

sorry that should say my friedn who was adopted
