I find it very sad the number of messages for missing relatives, the situation can only get worse as marriage is not always thought necessary.It's going to get harder to build family trees . There are times the boards look like a missing persons bureau, all those people longing to be reunited,It's such a pity there isnt one agency where these folk could go to for help, a Lost and Found department!

Just come on line and have been reading this thread with interest. As an adoptee in my 60s who has found and contacted most of my birth family, I obviously have an opinion.
I have not so far used an intermediary of any sort. One of the reasons is that I like to be independent, another, and more importantly it is that I felt that the people I was searching for might not be too pleased if they found their details and life story had been the subject of discussion and 'counselling' with a third party who had no reason to know all our business. In other words, I preferred to keep it in the 'family'.
Still searching however for my full sister
