Birth name John Leonard William Brattain

Great news. I have found my birthfamily.

That Is Great News. How Long Did It Take??

I registered on the Canadian Adoptee Registry and they called me the next day asking if I was John William Leonard B. I applied for my adoption order and six weeks later it finally arrived and I found out that I was indeed that person. I called them the day I received it. The woman at the Adoptee Registry that was handling it was away and didn't return until three days later. She confirmed a match and gave me the information that was on her records. Unfortunately it was outdated. My wife and I started cold calling everyone in the area that I was born in and on the second day we found my sister. Although she was younger she was well aware of me and I found out I also had a full brother. From the time I received the adoption order it took less than a week.
