so excited!!! just spoken to my birth brother for first time

[indiasmum]

met with other birth brother a yr and a half ago and thats been going really well. and today got letter and photos from my elder brother (we were all adopted out to different families). its sooooo exciting i cant concentrate on anything and want to meet him RIGHT NOW!!!! except he is in London and i am in Devon so am gonna have to wait a bit longer. but he is calling me back tonight after work. he seems lovely, really down to earth and i cant wait to meet him!

just thought i'd share1

thrilled for you indiasmum

can you email each other and share photos before the big meet? =

Thats lovely! How exciting for you. I hope it all goes perfectly.

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

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

hey franca, how are you?

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.

How exciting for you!

believe me hannahsaunt its not been fun and roses along the way! it didnt go quite this way with my birth mum. but thats a whole other thread!

I am SO pleased for you.

Wow that's amazing

So pleased for you.

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

sorry that should say my friedn who was adopted
