Ms Rachel Rowley-Smith:

I would echo what Ms Baldwin said. I am biologically linked to my half-siblings through my birth mother. I find it quite funny in a way is that I grew up as an only child so if I mention "my brother" to someone, to me it sounds like I am lying. It is something that I have never usually said. If I do refer to them I am happy to talk about and share the experiences. If anything the fact that I am not biologically related to my mum has made me closer to my mum. I do not think there is that need for a biological connection. It is what Ms Baldwin said basically.
