She hadn't posted it at 1632 today, so I doubt she's posted it two hours later when she's been ill!!

No, not posted it yet, both of us been ill with coughs and colds and heeby jeebies this week, but will do it soon.

Please everyone back off and stop pressuring SDW. It's a very big thing she is contemplating and she must do it when she is ready.

Thanks for that craftyscholar, but I don't mind people asking, I'm glad so many are inrterested, and it keeps me motivated.

I just haven't been able to get my head together enough to do it. My husband and I both suffer with anxiety and what with other things in our lives at the moment, this has been one thing we couldn't get round to doing .

We ARE going to try to do it today. Will have to see how it goes.

Will keep everybody posted.

Best of luck with your decision.

I could never make a decision about whether to try and trace my birth mother and by the time I finally decided to do so I discovered that all records of her existence stopped a few years ago so I can only assume that she moved abroad and so any window of opportunity I had is now well and truly closed as I have no idea where she's gone.

I think if anyone is even thinking about doing it then they should follow their gut because there's something very hollow about making the effort and discovering you're a few years too late.

Didn't manage to do it today, although we both feel a bit better. it is a big thing to handle and my head has to be right.

Only been able to manage buying plants for the garden and organising our dog-sitting.

Thanks to everyone for your support, it is most appreciated. I know this is something I must do soon. My husband goes to Spain for a week on Thursday, hopefully we can do it before then.

The help and support I have had from this discussion is very much appreciated. xx
