How lovely! That must have been a tough but very worthwhile job. And how kind of you to get the knitting needles out in honour of the baby. I hope you have a lovely reunion and that you can keep in touch.?

How lovely.
It'll be interesting to see if the baby looks like him, too.

I am so thrilled. My eldest daughter still lives in the area where my family all grew up, and she still has the same surname (which is an unusual one)

Some months back she was contacted by a man who told her that his (adoptive) parents had recently died, and going through their papers he had discovered that we were the family that had fostered him as a newborn for ten weeks before he went to those parents. This was in 1980.

He managed to track her down via facebook (so that really does have some good uses). As our family are all meeting at her house in a few weeks time for a birthday celebration, he has arranged to come over to meet up with us all. I am so excited. Evidently his partner is expecting a baby later in the summer, so I am now knitting some baby things for them.
