I'm meeting my dad for the first time on Saturday. I'm so excited & nervous. My grandmother phoned me from Canada & she's coming over to the UK to visit me & my family in a few months. Shes been searching for me for years.

Well I couldn't have done it without the help of people on this site. I now have found I have 2 sisters & 1 brother who have all been searching for me. I'm so happy cos I thought I wasn't loved or remembered & the whole time they were out there looking for me. Thanks everyone again

fab news. I think I have found my Mum's cousin sent him a letter in the hope that he will reply to at least say yes or no. But heard nothing yet. Glad it worked out for you, I wouldn't know what to do without my Dad. Hope the meeting goes well
