The story so far... see below

Having nothing to do the other day... I saw a message on Records from someone who neede a little help with things regarding trying to find her birth mother. So I started digging and came up with the marriage of her BM... I then went on to search for a lady with that name in the area where our Genes Member was adopted from. There was only one... and me being a nosy person and not being able to contain my curiosity, got in touch with her. Now I know you will all say... it could have been the worst thing ever to do this, but I left a message with a neighbour of hers who said she was a very good friend and she passed on my message on giving a couple of details and my phone number. I didn't expect to be rung quite so soon... but... She has rung this afternoon and is over the moon. I have now passed her telephone number on to her 'daughter' and they will be talking tomorrow, after they have absorbed all this in. So.... all's well and I feel so proud to have been part of it... please wish them both well, Anne:)))

Nice story. What a weekend it must be for them!

Hi Daniel... the story is not finished yet. It has come at a crossroads in both of their lives and having been searching for years, they will be re-united again soon, I am sure... Anne:)))

well done you, feel pleased that you have been a part of this too. Now, can you.... Jess x

I can try Jess... and yes, I do feel honoured to have been part of it Anne:)))

What a lovely story, l wish them well. Anne

Well done for helping the person in question

Well Done Anne Germaine x

Well done Anne, you've every right to feel proud. Vivienne

Ann think you acting in the third person probably helped too. as it gave the Mother chance to back out with the girl not being hurt , well done you XX

Anne - that was a brilliant result and you must feel proud to have been involved. Had I the time and knowledge to help someone in that way, I am sure I would have done the same - well done. I do hope their reunion goes well and helps them both on this next part of their lives together. Liz

What a fantastic thing to do for a stranger! well done you and be very very proud of yourself! xx

well done Anne - what a fantastic feeling it must be. Very proud of you :-))))

Being a third person involved in this story went through my mind too, just in case, but both parties are so excited and i even cried with them... get very emotional me.. yes I do... Anne:))) sniff, sniff...........................

thats a lovely thing to do doesnt it make you feel happy knowing someones been reunited like that well done to you

Wonderful thing for you to do Anne,you must feel proud. I've got goose-bumps. Mau xx

Oh, how wonderful...well done to you and I hope all go's well for them both. Pen -x-

All good stuff. Have been trying to do a similar thing for somebody but the person I am looking for was from Scotland and dont know if she is still alive. There was one person on here with her in his tree. Have mailed him a few times but no response. I am wondering if the person on here is her son and does he know that she gave up another son for adoption. I suppose the only way to find out is to go to Edinburgh records office.

Hi Anne Many congratulations:)) I am feeling a bit strange after reading Gloryer's reply. By an odd coincidence I am trying to find a birth mother too and she was born in Scotland (Glasgow). The person that I am trying to help though wasn't born in Scotland. I have tried the same plan as you Anne i.e. looking for a marriage but unfortunately, although the parents stayed in the same area, she didn't. So far I have found 2 possible marriages but can't find any current matches. Well done, you must be over the moon:)) Chrissie x
