*NPE - Not Parent Expected
Morning! Just a little message to say that I haven't forgotten about you, Diane! I'm sure H. and P. [half-sisters] second that. We are meeting up in 2 weeks and it's all thanks to you! We will FaceTime you after the meet up. Speak soon.
Helen NPE / unknown father
So much has happened this week! She [half-sister] got back in touch and wanted me to get in touch. We are now FaceTiming tomorrow. She has sent pictures of her — my dad — and a brother who lives in Canada. No one knew about me, but years ago he had told her she had a sister. You have been amazing and thank you for everything.
Gina NPE / unknown father
T. [Half-sister] contacted me this morning to let me know. I'm away until Monday and we will be in touch then to arrange a meeting. I'm so excited and a touch overwhelmed to be honest. I just can't thank you enough. I couldn't have done it without you. I will be forever grateful.
Lynda NPE / unknown father
Your help to us these past couple of weeks has been invaluable! My mum honestly thought she would never be able to answer the question of who Sarah [Grandmother] was. With your help we've started to unravel the whole mystery — she was so emotional when I phoned her to tell her what you found.
Ruth Adoption search
Your research has been a long and tough one, but you nailed it! I shared the news with mum about her father. This opened the door for me to share the revelation of my own DNA results. Richard is my father. Honestly, this is an incredible feeling.
Kevin NPE / unknown father and grandfathers
Thank you so much — it's such an honour to have someone help us the way you have. We are truly grateful.
Selene NPE / unknown father

Sue NPE / unknown father
I don't feel so disconnected now.
