I notice there is a Prog scheduled for tonight at 9 on BBC1 entitled "Separated at Birth" I understand it will be interviewing siblings who have renewed contact.

Ray and Jim, I thought it very sad and happy at the same time. Lets hope that things go well for all the families. I am so pleased to have not had such heartache. Elisabeth

Made me cry too, but how fortunate they were to have discovered families who welcomed them with open arms. My birth family (recently discovered) of one half sister and two half brothers want nothing to do with me and have very effectively cut me off from finding out information about blood relations.
