Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, November 29,1994 --13 4 Four siblings reunited, at long last There were smiles and hugs all around Saturday morning at the Scugog Township home of Michelle Myatt as four siblings 'were re-united for the first time in 35 years. Michelle, her sisters Joanne McAvoy and MaryAnne Nadeau finally got to meet their brother Claude Godin, who drove from a small town in northern New Brunswick for this very special occasion. The four siblings, now in their mid to late '30's, had been adopted when they were very young. This reunion actually had its beginnings about seven years ago when Joanne, who now lives in Belleville began making enquiries about her past through the Childrens Aid Society and learned she has two sisters and a brother. "It was something I just felt I wanted to know about," she "told the Citizen Saturday morning at Michelle's home east of Port Perry. Michelle as well had been making enquiries into her background for medical reasons, and eventually after many phone calls to agencies and the provincial government, four. But she said the path to this reunion has not been an easy one. Files have turned up missing, certain information on some files has been X'd out and Michelle was totally shocked to find there are no birth records at the hospital in eastern Ontario where they were born. As for advice to other siblings who may be trying to locate each other, or need information for medical reasons on about their birth parents, she said ' "be persistent, don't let anybody put you off." And if necessary hire a lawyer for advice on the legal rights of those who have been adopted. The four told the Citizen they have absolutely no regrets about going through with the reunion. They had a lot of news to catch up on and also greatly enjoyed comparing common traits they all share. For example, the sisters have found they hate wearing socks, they are nail biters and tend to be high strung. Even their taste in clothing is similar as they are comfortable in jeans, sweat shirts and leather jackets. The sisters and their brother all share a likeness for fast cars and driving fast. In fact, over the years, they have owned Camaros and Firebirds. Do they have any regrets about the long and at times painful search for each other? None at all, they answered firmly. They would do it again in a minute, and yes there are future reunions in the plans. Joanne, Claude, MaryAnie, = and Michelle were reunited for the first time since the four siblings were adopted well over 30 years ago. They got together for this special reunion at the Scugog home of Michelle Myatt. See story above. FORDER - PARKS INSURANCE BROKERS INC. was able to find out where her siblings were living.
