Thanks to the most awesome Search Angel who literally performed a miracle since we had such limited information, we THINK we found the 1/2 brother we've been looking for!! How do we proceed?? We have a phone number. He doesn't have a facebook, twitter ect that we've found to gently break the news. He most likely has NO clue he even has a birth sister. Its so exciting to have come this far, we don't want to scare him off and have the door closed forever. Can someone who has made this call give me some advice. We want to be totally prepared before even trying. ANY advice would be great! Thanks!

The sad news is, there really isn't a good time or a better way to do things. Either he is up for the reunion or he isn't. The truth is, you need to prepare yourself for both outcomes. Nothing you do will bring on a more positive outcome if he doesn't want the reunion. Make the call.

Hey there,
The above advice is really good.
All I can say, is prepare yourself emotionally and mentally if the answer is "no".
I cold called my biological father, and was just up front. I think it went something like this; "Hello, my name is xxx, there is no easy way for me to say this, but I have strong reason to believe that I am you biological son"
I then went to ask if he knew my mother back in the dates when I was conceived.
Anyway.. I wish you all the best. I know what is like. How the mind (well.. at least my mind) romanticises about having long dinners at their house, and watching movies together and sleeping over and catching up, etc..
I want this too, but you have to prepare yourself before hand in case it all goes sour.
Wish you luck!!

Update, I made the call and sadly it was the wrong person! :( It was very disappointing at first but we are back on the search! On the brighter side, we may have located a half Brother on the birth Fathers side. The birth Father passed away 30 yrs ago. More awkward phone calls ahead! :)
