Well, it’s been a busy few months, so I haven’t had the chance to post in a while. On to the big news…a month or so ago, I received a Facebook message from the bio-sister I had messaged several months ago. Long story short, she did some research on me when I initially reached out to her and she thought I seemed normal with no incentive to lie. So she took an ancestry.com test herself. She had just received the results confirming our relationship. After that message, we agreed to talk on the phone. Our call lasted over an hour, and I definitely felt at ease. She was in the difficult position of knowing about me, but her mom still did not know. After talking with her about that, she expressed the position that it was a struggle, but that she wanted to know me. From then on, we have long texting marathons a couple of times a week – from learning I have the family trait of tiny hands and flat, straight hair to sharing information about our children and families.
I don’t know where this will go, but it has been such a pleasure getting to know my sister.
