A Race Against Time: Help Reunite a Family

I just learned about this and would like to invite as many people as possible to help -- especially those who are skilled at finding living folks in Canada. In a nutshell, a terminally ill man -- Andy Brouwer -- would like to meet two of his sisters before it's too late. He and seven of his siblings were put up for adoption by child care services back in 1962. Six of them have found each other, but with Andy's pancreatic cancer, they're racing against time to find their last two siblings so they can have a reunion with all present. Please help if you can --either by researching or spreading the word. Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for posting this for our family. It means a lot to all of us, and to our brother. He wishes to meet or at least talk to ALL of his siblings while he has a chance.

Thank you again for helping us!

UPDATE: Good news! One of the two missing sisters, Valerie, has been found! Now they're just looking for the last sister -- Rose Marie.

Joanne Brouwer:

I came here to update you, but I see you already know that Valerie is found. I have talked to her! It's fantastic finding her. Now we just need to find Rose Marie!

Thanks again for posting our information on your website, I really appreciate this.

Joanne Brouwer
