Hello everyone, hope you are well. I just celebrated my 10 year anniversary of finding my birth parents and it occurred to me that outside my circle of friends I haven't really shared my story. It may help some people and it may entertain some people. By clicking the link you'll be taken to my online photo gallery where you will find these newspaper scans, if you click them they should enlarge making it easier to read.
if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask me.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Hey prairieman, what an awesome story, thanks for sharing. Sort of reminded me of Joni Mitchell finding her birthdaugher. What's with these Canadian musicians, eh?[/FONT][FONT=Comic Sans MS][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS]Do you still keep in touch with your extended families? Things still going strong 10 years later?[/FONT]

Hello evildishrag, I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
Things are going strong as ever 10 years later I am happy to report. My bio-mom and her husband just moved a little closer to me and we get together once a month for food and drinks, and speak once a week on the phone. My half brother (through her) and I see each other maybe 2 times a year but it is always like seeing an old friend, you pick up where you left off.
I have only met face to face with my bio-dad once, he lives in Canada now so hopefully we'll get some more face to face time, but we have stayed in contact through email and messenger over the years.
I have 3 half-sisters through him (he was pretty verile), one of which who is mentioned in the story, I see her quite a bit and it is always good.
The second half sister that is a product of his current marriage I've yet to mett, but I have spoken with her on the phone and emailed her quite a few times.
The third sister we have been looking for since this all happened, and we finally made contact with her just a few months ago, she is in Manitoba. she flew out to Alberta in August and we hooked up, she's great and we email everyday.
Probably more of an answer than you were looking for eh! I am familiar with the Joni story, it hits pretty close to home.:rockband:
Hi Prairieman! WOW, What a cool story. Isn't life strange? It gives hope to all of us that are rather new at this reunion thing, that relationships with birthfamilies can work out well and thrive. I'm especially glad to hear that your relationships with your birthsiblings are working out so well. I've just finished writing an introduction letter to a 1/2 sister on my birthfather's side (who I'm pretty sure has no idea I exist) and am going to mail it off this week. I'm very nervous about it and hope she and I have a similar result to your reunion outcome.:moped: oddly enough...I just purchased a Guess Who Greatest Hits CD a few weeks ago. :rockband: I wish you continued success in your reunion journey! :banana:
