Can you believe it? A couple of weeks I posted that we’d hired a PI to find our last remaining sister – Elizabeth. On Friday I received an email out of the blue via genes reunited. When I unwittingly hit the link I was taken to a message from her! She’d found a post I’d put up over a year ago on one of the many adoption search sites I’ve been to and managed to track me down on Genes where she contacted me. We spent over an hour chatting on the phone on Friday night and I filled her in on the rest of the siblings.

So, unbelievably, we’ve actually done it! We’ve managed to find (well, if we’re being totally accurate – all three of them found us!) all of them and are now trying to arrange to get a hall or something so we can have a proper reunion together before Tony’s wedding reception in September.

I’m still amazed that we’ve actually done this. Only 18 months ago it seemed an almost impossible task as we didn’t know where to look and were running out of options. Now, Helena has suggested that there’s a story here that should be written and has come up with a set of questions to help us tap into the various things that could go into writing it. I’ve spoken to the rest of them and so far it’s a decisive yes on attempting to get it down, so wish us luck and I’ll keep you informed!

I never thought I’d find myself in this position but, believe it or not, I’ve just hired a Private Investigator! Don’t worry, I’m not have Gary followed or anything just as seedy though. I’ve hired him to find our final missing sister!

I did manage to resist asking him if he wears a fedora and mac – I’m not sure how well that would have gone down. I might wait until he’s actually done the job I’ve hired him for and then ask He might have a sense of humour, you never know!

He seems quietly confident that he will be able to track her down and then the ball will be in her court as to whether she wants to initiate contact with the rest of us. I do wonder if she even knows about us, whether her adopted parents told her she was adopted and whether she has actually got her adoption file. If she does have it, I’ll be the only other child listed as she’s the second eldest – unlike Laura’s whose file includes myself, Elizabeth (our missing sister) and Tony, but doesn’t list Emma, Helen or Rachel. So Elizabeth could be in for a rather large surprise. I just hope it’s a surprise she welcomes! But if she makes the decision that she doesn’t wish to have contact with us, if we can get the question as to whether she is alive and happy answered then I, for one, will be satisfied.

Wish us luck and I’ll keep you guys informed!
