Yes EVE it is VERY appropriate and also a very common happening for birth siblings to seek each other out, even if they are not interested in meeting birth parents. It was one of my half sisters who pushed my mother into finding me, I have an adopted sister who wanted to meet all her half...

Thank you

P.S.....I must add here that I personally could not give a child of mine away, couldnt even give a cat away...lol............I am just thankful I have never been in that situation.

Just a little personal story re kids and their funny ways. Coming from an extended deaf birth family I have several nieces and nephews who are hearing. One four year old niece (hearing)was particularly protective of her deaf grandmother, (my mum) and when out in public could be very stern with...

well now.. this thread has certainly kept me amused for the last half hour, chuckling at the trading of insults and horse/pony remarks, of course I have my own thoughts on the subject but will keep them to myself. One thing I want to ask tho is, there have been several mentions of the...
