Help Wendy Janse Van Rensburg Reunite with her Biological Mom after 47 years.

My wife Wendy received unexpected news last year that she was adopted , this was a tightly kept family secret , where solemn promises were made and kept.

My wife sadly lost her Mom 20 years ago , and her Dad 4 years ago , as you can imagine there were a lot of questions left unanswered. Fortunately a surviving member was able to disclose a few details. Wendy then spent months trying to obtain answers she desperately needed , with very little to go on , Wendy decided to do her DNA , which would at least give her closure if true or not , as the DNA would reveal the concrete evidence she needed.

Finally her DNA was done and within 4 months the clues obtained meant we were getting closer , when finally on the 18th April 2017 , a phone call was made by Wendy and answered by her Biological Mother , putting an end to the catapulting news received.

Since then my Wife and her Mother share phone calls and emails , as Dawn lives abroad in South Africa.

My wife was deeply affected by the loss of her Mom 20 years ago , she never knew she was adopted , not an inkling . The news was bittersweet as it gave her Hope , Hope in finding Dawn.

There are many similarities between them , they chat and laugh for hours , that in itself has filled a massive void in her life since her adoptive Mom passed away 20 years ago.

My wife embraced the news the best she could , and accepted what she could not change.

It would be incredible to see the family unite with Dawn who has had to carry a lot of pain for her part of the journey.

Wendy has also discovered that she has a 1/2 brother called Jayson , there is much comfort in knowing that one has a sibling , something that was also taken away from her too soon , as he brother passed away , due to an act of violent crime.

Relationships have always been everything to Wendy
