I got the news via e-mail last night from Scotland that alas I was too late my birth mother had died in 1996 aged 56 from cancer.
In actual fact I was not quite ready for that news when I opened up the e-mail. My mothers husband explained how she spoke of me often and how much she loved me in his conversation with the counselors and his wish to be in contact with me even although this is not my natural father.It was all very sad reading again
My mother had worked in the health field and managed to attain her master of science degree and was always continuing her education in this field of work which she also loved over the many years.
The next thing is to contact the siblings and let them know that I have been found, my two sisters and brother are all well and living their life's in Australia
I will keep going and see what lays at the end of the road. It seems that now I have lost both mothers in a month and I would suggest that anyone thinking about doing this kind of search take into account the possibilities and prepare themselves for such news . I thought that I had.
And so the journey continues.

Keep on going. I was pretty upset when I found that my birth mom was gone... about the same age as yours also. Thankfully Mom is still around at 81!
I'm sure the siblings will be happy to get to know you. I know my birth mom's family were mostly great to me. Some were curious that I might be "wanting something" from them but soon found out it was not like that. BEST WISHES for you in your journey. It's very worth it!

I did this. I too was to late for my father but I did meet with a sister.
There is a sibling I have yet to find. My mom gave her up a yr before me. My mom has passed and so I have very little to go on. Hopefully if she is out there looking she will find me.

Naturally, that is the danger of attempting to re-establish contact after such
a long time. My condolances on never getting to know her.
It should, however, be worth the journey to meet and get to know your birth
siblings and the rest of the family. Don't assume anything and be open to
new friendships and family connections.
May there be much better luck in the road ahead for you.

In life it is the journey that's the important part...when you get to the other side of this
passage I am sure that you will see the value. Siblings in Australia, what an adventure!

inxs, I am so sorry. As I clicked on your blog, this was not what I had hoped to read.
My condolences to you as you have suffered another loss.
I'm happy to read that you plan to continue your journey. May you find some sort of comfort in connecting with your siblings.

Sorry to hear this news inxs, but you still have an open door in front of you...maybe not the same door you anticipated, but your adventure with meeting your new family is still a possibility. As mentioned by some of the others, you still have siblings awaiting you in their lives...I hope the next update I read is better news for you.
