It's a small world afterall...

OK remembering I can blog from my email makes keeping this blog stuff
more frequent much easier. I may also use this to vent about work...
Remembering of course that my fave blogger Heather (Dooce) appeared to
have lost her job by venting about work, I shall of course be very
careful about what i say! And yes I know some grammatical errors were
displayed in the making of this paragraph!

So, as far as this entry's title re the small world, it sorta has some
background. I'm adopted, I've known since I can remember that I was
adopted, and I have had the great fortune of being adopted by the most
loving, caring, amazing parents in the world. And having fantastic,
loving siblings. I was adopted between two natural children! As an aside
I know quite a few adoptees and most (not all) don't appear to be as
lucky as I am. Maybe that's in part from a deep seeded sense of loss but
that's another discussion.

Anyway in my 20s, when searching for my self, as well do, I decided to
start the search for my natural mother (after a long discussion with my
adoptive mother from now on referred to as Mum as that is who she is).
In that search I discovered a half sister and we eventually met. 1/2
sis, who I shall refer to as H, and I met once, spoke a few times and
then lost contact. I tried to call her and wrote a letter but she must
have moved and I figured when she was ready she could find me. She may
have done but due to my Dad's illness may have got a bum steer.

So over the last few years I've been using all the technological
resources I have available to me to find her i.e. I've been trawling
social networking sites and address books on the Net to no avail. I
found a link to her via an on-line store and sent an email to them
asking them to forward on my details but don't know if that ever
happened.

H has kids, and I finally realized that perhaps I should be looking for
them as I can remember their quite distinctive names and finally I think
I found them on one of the more popular sites and have sent a contact
request through, so now I wait.

But still I'm impressed with how technology makes things like this that
little easier, cos in other times, lost contact often meant lost for
ever!
