Jibralta Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I have a sister who is my adoptive parents' biological daughter. My parents eventually divorced. My father was never faithful. My sister has an Ancestry DNA test, but she hasn't taken it yet. I was thinking about this, and it occurs to me that it's within the realm of possibility that my sister could have a biological sibling out there, who we never knew about. I have to ask myself, what would I do in that situation--what would we do? I think my first inclination would be to circle the wagons, make sure everyone is ok with it. And if there'a a weak link--someone who just can't handle it (most likely my mom and/or my sister)--then the wagons have to stay circled. And even I would freeze that sibling out, even though if I had my own way my siblings wouldn't do that to me! But maybe it's a temporary thing. The first reaction is often defensiveness. Over time, as the idea sinks in, things can change. So there is hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverbirch Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 So sorry too Mama. A long time ago, my mother had a half-brother find her. Mum and her sister were very glad and used to see him and his wife. Mums older brother who had lots of problems - he rejected his own son - was angry about the half brother. Mums half-brother stopped contacting them because they felt bad. Shame because he was a nice man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
