If there is I cant find it ,

even I cried tonight.......the 1st story with the sister, just goes to show, how stories can get misplace bit like chinese whisper none the less terrible accident to happen and the dad was so young only 29 the poor Mum must of gone through hell. :-(

I didn't cry mind you I didnt watch it ;-)

I think everyone might be looking at the posts on FLR Hayley , so many people looking for birth family etc.

I watched most of tonight's programme, it always strikes me how alike so many of the mums/childre or sibling are ( why it should surprise me I don't know lol).

I enjoyed tonight's programme and also thought how family members looked so alike :-).........felt very weepy for the mother asking son's forgiveness and especially when he called her mum....

the bro and sister did look alike didnt they and they looked like their mum..... I have noticed and have heard Nicky say it of his birth mother when he first met her, that the birth mothers almost 1st words are I am sorry, which is really sad. Itsmytelly is in to this more than he will admit you know, he really believes that Nicky and Davina do the searching.. :-D

Nicky and Davina don't do the research silly billy :-D :-D

ANCESTRY do it :-D :-D :-D :-D

George :-)

I just wonder how they select the people. Just emailed somebody who said he was rejected last year and is waiting to hear the result for the 2014 program

*** Nudge*** :-D

But of course feel free to add your own thread, theres no law against it ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

:-D :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D <3

Have deleted my Long Lost Family Thread. Wasn't trying to be rude last night. I was just having a moan (as Suzanne elegantly pointed out). I posted on thread begun 29 July by SueinLeeds (who in her OP said she could not find original thread). Then we have 2 more new threads, one discussing the very points I wanted to discuss.

If I could tell you how much grief I had last year when I started a thread about a subject already under discussion, you would not believe it. I was just suggesting it would be easier not to have 4 threads about same TV programme. Not all that much interest in programme anyway, it seems. One of my favourites though. :-)

The subject matter of this post is quite correct, even if the poster is an insufferable lout and a bounder ;-)

To my knowledge at least one of them was NOT about the same topic.

It was actually somebody trying to trace their birth mother.

It is always important to read a thread properly to actually understand what it is about.

John did you really need to add to Louise's adoption thread?

Absolutely stunned!

I am not going to add to Lou's thread because it's spoiled already and I fear I would just pour petrol on the fire.

I am delighted she has found her birth Mother and is in touch. The poor girl has only been a member since July and her undoubted joy must be tempered by a couple of posts on there.

Bleedin' miffed in the Valleys!

Miffed here too :-| :-|

We were not discussing Long Lost Families on Louise's thread. Probably SueinLeeds was right to start the second thread on 29 July because several were watching and enjoying but not commenting on Louise's thread, which I agree was about her personal search and not about the series.

Several made comments on Sue's thread, so I could not understand why this thread was started. After all, Hayley had contributed to Sue's thread previous week.

I just feel that we should have one thread to discuss a TV programme about reuniting adopted families. Am I so wrong? :-S

wrong? definitely

insensitive? definitely

So why, John, have you felt the need to comment on Louise's thread?
You even admit that "We were not discussing Long Lost Families on Louise's thread" so why you should even mention it I do not know.
When you say "we" I am a little confused - have you deleted your original contributions to that thread?

Here comes the gang again. Risible. Absolutely stunned!! "Am I so wrong?" was a rhetorical question. Of course I am right.

The very people who criticised me for duplicated posts when I was a newby last year :-) :-) :-)

It is NOT a good idea to have 3 threads last night on what is basically the same TV programme. Black is black, white is white. No idea why AnnC comes to a different conclusion. Perhaps we will get an explanation - probably we won't :-( :-(

Imagine a large room with lots of people sitting around talking to each other or listening to various conversations without wishing to join in.

One group will be discussing a topic, then another group might have their own chat about the same or a similar topic................would anyone be circling the room and making everyone talking about a particular topic either sit together or be stopped from their conversation?

I don't think it would work too well do you?

This board is like that, all of us are free to either join in, ignore, watch and not comment or go off on another tangent ......it works :-D

Back to the OP, I loved it and as usual my husband sobbed.

There seems to be an invisible bond created at birth that somehow draws these families together............most of the children adopted at birth and having really happy childhoods still have that drive to find what is missing from their lives. :-)
