Back To Canada

After a few days, Rita headed back home. This time with sweet memories and a promise that her daughter would come to Canada to pay her a visit. She was feeling complete and content for the first time in her life. She felt free after years of guilt and sadness.   

Lovely Person

So what does Norah have to say about the mother she had been looking for so long. Well, she is very happy that she kept her search on despite all the distractions coming her way. Because had she not continued she would have missed out on meeting a lovely person her mother is. Norah describes “She’s just amazing, she’s a lovely wee person.”

Flying To Canada

Just after a few months of Rita’s visit, Norah flew to Canada to see her. It happened in October of the same year. It was Thanksgiving and she was going to spend this auspicious day with her new Canadian family. That day made more sense than anything. 

Seeing Her Again

Norah too was thankful for getting the opportunity to see her birth mother again. She was thankful to her adoptive parents who took care of her like their own child. The day was perfect to celebrate all this. 

Positive Result

An effort coupled with a desire to meet her birth mother finally yielded the result. Norah explained, “I’d been looking for more than 50 years and got nowhere. I never wanted to give up looking for her. “I looked in records in Clydebank Town Hall and in Edinburgh, but all I had was her name and address, I didn’t know she was using the name Rita.”

Courageous And Optimistic

No need to say it was Norah’s desire to meet her birth mother that helped her tackle all the problems coming her way. Rita would have never expected her daughter to be so courageous and optimistic. She did not know that she had given birth to a real fighter.
