hi dianne. the best start would be to contact the agency you were adopted thru. i was adopted in wa and made contact with the docs office in perth. they then sent a letter to my natural mother who then sent them a letter and so the contact process started. can i just give you a little advice... in the beginning keep things very general, maybe utilize the adoption agency as a contact point. dont give to much identifying information like your address etc at the beginning. find out what you are jumping into and that way if it gets a bit full on (like mine did) then it is easy enough to cease the contact. emotions run very high on both sides and i was greatful that i hadnt given out too much identifying info.

Thanks for sharing this with us Belinda. It's so good to know that these sisters have the chance to stay together and also now have a loving a stable home. Night feeds and nappies aren't compulsory to being a parent - but it still must have been great to have the chance to foster the youngest baby at just 3 months.
Well done to you all, i hope you can continue to share parenthood with us all.
Thanks girls - it certainly hasn't been easy and there were a few nights (in the beginning) when I would question why we agreed to take 3. But I wouldn't go back and change a thing. Life has changed in so many different ways for us, and I'm sure I will have many things to share and enquire about in the parenting sections. There is a possibility that we might be having another addition to the family as their birth mother is pregnant again and they will ask us first if we would like to take the next sibling.
