Just Found Out I May Have A Half Brother

Eventually when you get that dna back, you will have to have a conversation with her. She may have believed that there was shame in what she did and that others may see her as broken if she admits to what she did. Just come to her and let her know that you love her and that you are not angry or upset with her. Let her know that your brother has had a wonderful life and has no ill will towards her. Let her know that she did a wonderful thing and that you are proud of her and look forward to getting to know your brother and would like her to be apart of that. Let her know that you understand that it may take time. Women who placed their children back in those days were subject to terrible emotional abuse and trauma. It’s possible that she could have some PTSD in remembering a part of her life that she was told to forget. It doesn’t mean that she can’t one day love him. It’s just a shock and will take some processing. Good luck to the both of you.
