Running away with the circus - I met lots of people who wanted to, and some did just that - I used to threaten to run away FROM the circus!

But she was reunited with her brother William, born a couple of years after her own birth, when her parents were finally able to marry. She bore no ill will - both women loved her, and they could not help the times they lived in. Only when the adoption laws changed, was she able to track down her birth family. She and William (now known to us as Uncle Bill) were reunited about two years ago. Alas, when my mother Marie finally traced her real family, both adopted and birth mothers and fathers were dead.
