I'm glad it turned out so well! I have more questions though...is your bio-father still alive? Does he know? Unfortunately his(our) dad passed away over 15 years ago. It’s quite possible he had no way of knowing I existed, or he knew and agreed to the adoption and never discussed it. Im still trying to locate relatives on my birth mothers side, but so far not very many have tested, and the ones that have, the family names don’t match up.

What a wonderful picture and story. I am very happy for you both.☺️Somewhere out in the world, I have a half-sibling. My mom gave up a child before being pregnant with me and married my dad. I wouldn’t even know where to start.

I wouldn’t even know where to start. DNA testing is the most reliable, especially if they are unwilling/unable to offer any other assistance. Ancestry and 23andme have the largest data bases. That’s how we found each other

Just wanted to share that I met my 1/2 brother today!! We’ve been messaging often and had a really long video chat. But today was the big day, we each drove about an hour and met 1/2 way. We have very similar features, but he got the blonde hair and green eyes. Here’s my baby brother Mike! Oh my goodness! That is wonderful!

TFS!! I love happy stories! You two resemble each other so much! YAY!
I was secretly hoping to find some new relatives with ancestry but it hasn't happened. My extended family is so strange that nothing would surprise me.
