McCann's poignant 2019 Christmas message to supporters.

That bedroom must be full of stuff by now, unless they have disposed of the early  purchases as years go by.

[Holly Goodhead]

Why would you think Kate and Gerry have failed to notice the passing of the years since their daughter disappeared in 2007?

I doubt they have failed to notice chronologically speaking but I still think if they are ever reunited they will find some difficulty reconciling the fact that MM is no longer the little girl they last saw in PDL.

Then there are those that couldn't care less either way.

The evidence suggests that you do not number amongst them nor does anyone else bothering to hit the post or send button on a McCann board.

[Holly Goodhead]

I doubt that Holly,  the McCann's have been buying age appropriate presents for Madeleine,  Birthday and Christmas,  they would notice how the time was passing more than anyone else IMO

I think it might be easier said than done.

But it's not your problem is it.

Did I say it was?

I doubt anyone with a modicum of intelligence would expect Madeleine to be the child she was in 2007 and have no idea why you raise the suggestion that her mum and dad might.  Just absolute nonsense in my opinion.

[Eleanor]

Did I say it was?

So how can you think you know?

[Wonderfulspam]

This will come as a shock to you but I think you should be told that in my opinion there are people out there who wish no-one ever either finds a live Madeleine McCann or what happened to her since her disappearance in 2007.

I hope Madeleine is found, so she can have a proper burial.

To be fair, the twins can use whatever gets bought - just a year later.

[Holly Goodhead]

So how can you think you know?

I said I think it might be easier said than done on the basis I went through a similar experience when I met my birth parents which is backed up by all the research. 

If MM is ever reunited with the McCanns although they are her biological parents they are now strangers too!

[Holly Goodhead]

KM said they have been allowed to use things on the basis they put them back.

[The General]

KM said they have been allowed to use things on the basis they put them back.

But surely an iPad is an iPad is an iPad? Why buy three when you can just buy two - one a year after the first?

[G-Unit]

That wouldn't apply to anyone who posts or reads this forum.

Whatever happened on 3rd May 2007 a little girl's life was ruined. That's the important fact to remember. How it was ruined and by whom is secondary imo; it may never be known.

That has nothing to do with the McCann's still thinking of Madeleine as a four year old.

Yes they will be strangers,  but the McCann's will know she is alive and where she is,  the not knowing must be terrible for them.

I watch 'Long Lost Families'  and even though some are babies when handed over for adoption,  some of the mothers by Birthday cards every year for their child,  and wonder if they had a good life, for them they are eaten up with guilt for giving their child up for adoption and the not knowing what happened to their child is a burden they carry for years.    When they are reunited they cry and say its as though they have always known each other, and  they will have a relationship with the mother,  child who they have been reunited with.

Hopefully,   if Madeleine has been taken by a couple who have brought her up,  Madeleine will still want a relationship with her biological parents.

Also,  it needs to be investigated how Madeleine was taken and by whom.
