i know that i was taking achance but as i said in my last mess i had nothing to lose i am not being big headed over this i just thought that if she wants to make contact then that is her choice my life will still be the same

I think you are lucky - with hindsight, that she knew about your mother - she could have been devestated to learn that perhaps her mother had 'played away ' or something similar what does your mother make of all this?

Hi Victoria. So pleased for you all, but would urge caution on these matters sometimes, as Scarlet said how is your mother taking all this ? , she is the one who will be most affected by this contact. Sheila

as you can imagine she is a little bit upset but also glad she has spoke to her sister on the phone just now and she told her that she would like to meet her but to take one step at a time as it is a lot to take in

Why is she upset - she should surely be overjoyed????

Scarlet, I think of lot of people feel mixed emotions, she has to come to terms with all this now, and take it one step at a time. Victoria, You have done a great job finding her, but now you have to take a step back and just support your mother, with what steps she wishes to take next. Wishing you all the Very Best for the Future. Sheila
