Babies Come from Glasgow

<p></p><p>Growing up as an only child in Stornoway could have been seen as idyllic - to a child the island was a 'safe haven' with no serious crime and many unspoiled white sandy beaches.</p><p>However I discovered at the age of eight that I had been adopted from Glasgow. Although I knew that my parents loved me very much only one thing was missing from my life - a sister or brother to share my childhood fun.</p><p>In 2008 with my own family and a successful career behind me I revived a latent need to find out about my birth mother. During my search I was dismayed to learn that she had emigrated to Australia in 1973 with her new family.</p><p>Along the way I discovered more about my extended family - including my long desired siblings their own lives and stories and the circumstances of my adoption.</p><p>Writing this book the first part in my series took me on such an emotional journey as memories of love and loss were rekindled.</p><p></p>
