What an amazing post from you, Dave. I have to admit, I have a lump in my throat just reading it - and the subsequent ones from fellow Pelicans offering support and advice.

If ever there was a reason for a forum like this - this is it.

For someone like me who was raised by his birth parents in a very secure environment I feel very humbled and am a bit ashamed even for probably taking something like that for granted more than I should.

I thank you for sharing your story and wish you the very best in your endeavours to learn and embrace your heritage.

You're a damn good guy and a big part of that is a reflection of the family who raised you so cheers to them as well.

Please keep us posted Dave, and thanks again for sharing with us. All the best to you, sir.
