There is someone who has both people in their family tree here at this website ... is it someone you know already do you think?

remember if you send a message, don't ask to see the person's family tree ... explain the reason for your interest and that you would like to be in contact with them.


Well done alexandre, success stories can indeed give hope!

hello susan I found a brother and sister who were adopted. I got in touch with different adoption agencies eg barnados, the childrens society and.the adoption agency that I had been adopted with.My brother and sister didn't know about me so in my case being on the adoption register wouldn't have helped me. Barnados were really helpful and within a couple of weeks I received correspondence from them about my brother. It did take me 8 years to find my sister. I also found another 3 sisters and another brother. Don't ever stop trying its a great feeling when you find them
