My mother will meet me (probably with the clan) at the airport on the 20/8/01.
I found them on the internet while helping my sister look for her family.I felt no great urges but decided to have a little look.All the agencies and govt.depts would take too long and were impractical for me,so with info from my adopted mom,including my adoption papers,I took a look at Canada411 (the whitepages) and found 20 names for the whole country.I decided to write a generic letter to all of them and just change the name and address for each person and sent them off.There was 1 name that stood out to me and it turned out to be my maternal grandmother.She was in a retirement home and my uncle answered her mail.He gave the letter to my mother,who rang me 4 hours later.
The letter I sent was dated her birthday and my grandmother died 2 months later.Only 2 people replied to my letters.1 by email and my mother on the phone.If I hadn't sent the letters when I did,my grandmother wouldn't have been listed and I wouldn't have found them because my mothers last name had changed.That's what I mean by pre-ordained.
I have a brother and 2 sisters.They all have kids.I haven't even started with my fathers family yet.Who knows what will happen then?
That's all for now tash.
Cheers little dainty ears,
