Wow - where do I start? I posted here a long time ago looking for my 'potential' birth brother (around 2002), however, I was looking even before that.
Kept hitting brick walls and I 'gave up'. On October 20, 2012, I received a phone call from a person with information ...we compared stories and she put me in touch with a man who, on the surface, appeared to be my brother.
I received an email that night with a photo of this man - holy moly! He was(is) a spitting image of my father!
Fast forward to November 25 and the long awaited DNA results .... 98.24% likelihood that we are full-blooded siblings! (Duh, I could have told them that without all that scientific mumbo-jumbo).
Since October 20, Doug and I have spoken on the phone at a minimum of once a day and we are constantly texting! He lives about 4 hours from me and we got to spend the day with his family on November 25!
This whole thing has been crazy-amazing and I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING. He has been in contact with my dad (who claims he knew nothing of him - whatever), and they facetimed yesteray (12/4) for the first time -- both were mesmerized by the similarities.
Doug and his family will be coming to my house just after Christmas so we can spend more time together -- we have 45 years to make up for!
Doug is only 17 months younger than me and I can say that I am so blessed to finally have my brother!!
Thanks to sites like this, he found me! :cheer: :cheer:

I just stumbled upon this site and your post prompted me to become a member. I had a sibling find me last year and it has been life-changing.
Was your brother's adoption open or did you hire investigators?
Thankfully, my sister's adoption was open and she found me on facebook! I must say, I truly appreciate social media now.
I just wanted to let you know I understand your joy and am excited for you!
