Even more long lost people found

I have been trying to save up for my trip to Canada for about 4 years now. The flights aren't too bad, but the somewhere to stay and spending money is something else entirely. I don't feel I will be able to cope if there is nowhere I can go to get away from the emotional intensity that is bound to ensue.

I'd almost given up hope until I found a foster sister of mine on Facebook and her parents have offered me a room to stay in! So I'm really, really excited. I'm aiming at meeting my birth family in October, as well as seeing my adopted brother and my foster family. It's a nervous sort of excitement. What will my mother be like? Will we get on? Will we have anything at all to say to each other?

Finding long lost family and friends

I've had a strange life. So strange that I have trouble remembering things, and I mostly only remember the bad things. Of my early childhood, for a long time all I could remember was being locked in a bare room and being so bored and lonely and thirsty.

I was adopted as a baby. For ten years I lived with a family and I had two adopted brothers. This was in Canada. The mother of that family didn't like me very much and I was put back into Care when I was 10. Eventually I ended up in England.

Well, 30 years passed, and plenty happened and then last October I got Broadband. One of the first things I did was look up my older adopted brother. We have been talking and it is so wonderful to have found him after all this time. You wouldn't think it, as he is not biologically related, but it is filling a gap that I'd forgotten was there.

He is in Toronto, as is my birth mother who I first contacted about 4 years ago but have never seen. I'm trying to save up to go over and visit them.
