My birth mother after 60 years

I was found by one of my sisters in Fairbanks, Alaska. I discovered I was the product of a one-night stand in February 1947 and that my mother was coerced by her parents to give me up for adoption. After having been raised as an only child, I learned I had 5 siblings! It's been strange yet enlightening to know their personalities. I have met all of my sisters and one brother in Alaska; I have yet to meet my baby brother who lives in Kauai. It was really almost surreal...I had given up and come to peace about never finding about my roots when it happened. I've been to Alaska twice since I found out in 2008 and now my mother is dying of cancer. A bittersweet story at best.
