So glad you found your father in time Melody. Sadly I missed mine, and later discovered that he had never forgotten his English children, and had told his later children about us and pleaded with them to go on looking for us.

Its lovely that your father will not spend the rest of his life wondering where you are.

I found my half sibs. about 20 years ago........but only found my full sister this May, after a forty year search. When I was 25 I discovered I had a full sister. We had been adopted separately...........this year she started looking, at aged 63.........and found the message waiting for her on the Adoption Contact Register run by the Govt. I had put the message there 15 years ago...........so don't give up hope, all you searchers.........put messages everywhere, even throw them in the sea in bottles...........one day, someone will see it..............

Have just read your story on Success board, and want to wish you and your father a lovely reunion with one another when you get over to England.

May you spend many happy hours together.

When you come down off that ceiling, do share the whole story with us, as you must have been on a roller coaster of emotions, oh and which Dennis was he ?
