So they took us to my aunts place who is also deceased now. I grew up in Lentegeur with my aunt and her family. I don’t know any of my moms family only my dads side and they never met her family as far as I know.
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
