I am very interested as I am one of the children of the U.S.Marines that came to N.Z. I was adopted at 2yrs. I later found my Birth Mother and many years later found my Birth Father. Whom I have met in the U.S.A. and another meeting in Hawai some years on. We wrote to each other sent photos etc. A great experience.Josie
