She sounds like one disappointed little lady that's for sure. Joined GR today by the look of things. A real difficult situation. Just wondered what everyone thought. Glen

Hate to be cynical, but is this genuine? Kids have got on here before and pulled stunts like this.

Well, yeah but, if it is genuine, they shouldn't be on here and open to abuse. It does make you wonder! (typing in my sleep again) Nanna-M ;)

Good point Rebs,but would a kid start a tree just for a stunt? If it is genuine then i'm afraid i have to say she wouldn't be able to deal with the situation,it isn't always a fairytale finding a parent. The worst thing about the homepage is that stupid link to success board ' i typed in my adopted husbands name and within four hours found............' About time THAT was removed. Glen

I would never answer an appeal from a child but it worries me to see them posting.... Nanna-M

Guess the tree does add a touch of authenticity. But you're right, the link to success should be removed. I wonder how much success a non-paid member can actually have since you have to rely on others making the first contact. Success should be for full paid members only.

I sent a message to GR asking if they would help the young lady in question, and sent a PM to her telling her that I had done so. Joy

And the reply I received was apologetic but they could not help her because she was under-age. I am in ongoing correspondence with GR regarding this - partly regarding the seeming inability to prevent under-age subscribers, partly stressing that, in my opinion, all boards should be for paying subscribers only.
