Comment:	I and my siblings were adopted into separate families in the early 60's. I just recently got into contact with my younger sister. Her name is Julie; my name is Julie. She has a daughter named Jessica whose birthday is 1/30/86; I have a daughter named Jessica whose birthdday is 1/30/93. I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and she lives in Aurora, Missouri, USA; we both live on Pearl Street. I have a younger brother named Robert whose birthday is 10/18; I have been married twice; my first marriage yielded a son named Robert whose birthday is 10/18 - unfortunately, he died of SIDS. I found out that our biological father's birthday was 10/10; my sister's husband Nicholas' birthday is 10/10. I also have twin boys; one of them is named Nicholas. I have a son named Stephen; my sister's first husband's name was Stephen. My sister's birthday is 9/17; my son Stephen was due on 9/17 but was not born until 9/28. We had another brother, Darin, who is now deceased; he died on 9/28. The reason I was able to find her is that an old high school friend of mine and I also just reconnected in the past year; her mother and my brother Robert's adoptive mother were best friends. They figured out from what I had told my friend and what Robert's mother knew that we were brother and sister; they had already found my sister Julie. It was another coincidence that my friend and I had, in the same week, both decided to enter an account with Classmates.com and therefore reconnected with each other. Lastly, our adoptive mothers share the same birthday as well - 10/13. Are these merely coincidences?

Comment:	I have been reading your pages and would like to tell you about a few freakish happenings that have happened to me. About 6 months ago, after a night out I met this guy called Matt at a Lewisham train station, we started chatting on train then shared a cab to both homes,as he lived close by to me and we started dating. It was quite intense for about two months but he decided to end it (i won't bore you with the details) but since then I have had two freaky chance meetings with him, and not near to where we live either. The first time I had been out in town for some birthday drinks after work with a friend, we were at London Bridge train station getting a hamburger, I had just started stuffing it into my mouth when i kinda turned around and he is standing in front of me?? My face must have been a picture!!!? He is a printer & works late shifts til 11pm. He doesn't usually go home via London Bridge, but as he gets out early on this said night, he decided to get last orders at the pub at London Bridge station. Random & Freaky!?! That was about 3 months ago. Then today (Saturday) I was on the way home from my cousins house and at Charing Cross station, who comes out from the ticket barriers...Yes, you guessed it, Matt walking straight towards me. I know it could be put down to coincidences and yeah usually i would say as we both work up town, and use trains alot. But today is Saturday, I am not normally in London at weekend, and I know he isn't keen on going up there either apart from work? Is there such a thing as ESP? Foresight? Or is it just a case of right place, right time ?? It has freaked me a bit i must say.

Comment:	(cont.) I have also had a few other happenings before now. At the time i worked for a well known building society. I was doing some filing one day, putting mortgage files back into the reams & reams of cabinets, when a thick file almost fell on my head as I reached up to put another file back in the cabinet. For some reason i looked at name on the file it had KALDEZAR typed on it. I thought the name rings a bell for some reason. So I checked my diary, as I had an interview for another job in two days time, and it seems similar to the interviewers name. Sure enough the name Karen Kaldezar was written there. And there in front of me was her mortgage file for the house she lived in. Had to be nosey and take a peek. I had the interview a couple of days later and worked for her for nearly 3 years!!! That really did freak me out. When i decided to leave that job, something strange also happened. I had an interview at an accountants and the address was KPMG, 1 Puddle Dock, Blackfriars. A couple of days before that interview, i came out of work and there was a nightclub flyer on the ground blown in the wind outside the door. I picked it up, it was for a dance club called Glass House which is situated opposite to where I am currently working now (and have been for past 4 years??). Are these good omens, weird coincidences? I have also read the clock thing and that happened to me, only for one day though, i kept looking at the clock when it was .13 past the hour, i did feel strange when the number was 13!!! So hope I haven't bored you, but just had to question coincidence? Is it something more deeper or is it that's just what we want to believe? thanks for listening Jo Casey
