Wow, Ken,
That was quick!! It took a while to get in and register but now I'm finally through the gates I'm sure it'll be agreat place to be. Thanks for such a warm welcome!!
Actually, like Ken just pointed out, I found his forum through a forum exchange programme that he and some friends have going and I really am very pleasantly surprised to have found such a different forum topic here.
It's honestly somewhere where I think I'd like to particpate quite a lot cause over the years I've had lots of ups and downs with my family (like everybody I guess) and have also seen the concept of 'family' across several cultures having travelled widely & lived round Europe and studied languages and things.
I'm very glad to be here, I look forward to participating, reading and getting some debates going!!
