Thank you thank you! Yesterday (3/3/2000) I received mail from an internet cafe in Athens saying
that they knew my birthmom. They left several contact numbers, which I plucked up the courage to
phone today, thinking I would be speaking to someone at the cafe. Well, imagine my shock when I
found I was speaking to an Aunt I never knew I had. Picture the emotion! She immediately contacted
my birthmom, who came to her house and phoned me. I was shaking, crying, laughing...goosebumps! If
that was how I felt, you can imagine how it was for her. It turns out that I, an only child, suddenly
have 8 Uncles and Aunts, 22 cousins, 15 nephews and nieces, and a brother and a sister. I feel like
I've stumbled into a whole village, and they're all related to me. She now as of today has an extra
child, which she thought she'd lost forever, and 2 extra grandchildren. This is so unreal. I feel like
I'm watching some kind of a soap opera in my dreams, and will wake up any moment. All I can say is
Who? Me? are magnificent, my details were online for 3 years, and it worked! I never really thought
it would. Brilliant, guys, you are fantastic, true angels. Keep up the good work, and I mean good in
every sense. With immense gratitude .... Irene Allen (South Africa)
