Okay, let me start off by jumping back a ways. My parents created me while my father was separated from his wife, I am a ****. My father denied me at birth. I met him when I was ten, and learned that I had 3 half sisters. Fast forward two a few weeks ago. I decided to see if I could find my dad and/or sisters on facebook.( Ted Jezowski - Au Gres sims HS in MI if you want to add me). I ended up sending a message to a couple of women I thought might me a sister from the names I could recall. Well, I found one of my sisters and will be meeting her this weekend as well as her 9 kids. I may also get to meet another sister at the same time. She had told me that she was trying to figure out how to find me. I may also get to see my dad, which I have not seen since I was 16, that was almost 18 years ago. The butterflies are starting to set in, but it's not a bad thing. I have always wondered about them (and worried I might hook up with one unknowingly). My sister had also told me growing up all 3 of them wanted a brother. This one and the youngest really would like to meet me, and the oldest is a little more reserved, and is unsure of a meeting. I think my dad has been misleading me from what I have now learned. He had told my wife that I probably would not get to meet the middle sister because of her husbands religious views, but from what my sister says it sounds like my dad is the one who wants to hide the truth as he comes from a strict catholic family, and did not want her kids to let the cat out of the bag. Any ways, wish luck, even thought I don't need it. I just wish sunday would get here already.

later,
dude

    Good luck Buddy. My wife found her brother after 33 yrs using Facebook (with the help of a friend) She spent hours on the phone and she was freaked when she flew out to meet him and his wife. I encouraged her to do it even if it meant to add closure. For her (and I) it worked out for the best, they came down last summer and they are great people. Do It! and again best of luck!

    My mother-in-law found out she had a half-brother a couple years ago, at age 59. The anticipation leading up to meeting him was considerable, but he "felt like family" once he was here.

    I hope that your meeting gives you the sensation of a larger family.

    Oh I know it will be fine. As for the keeping the knowledge of my origins hush hush in "their" family it doesn't matter to me. I'm pretty sure after I meet my sisters some thing will be said and it will probably let the cat out of the bag. Either way it does not matter, I get to meet my half sisters. I'm just nervous with anticipation. For their sake though I hope it doesn't as it could shake things up for them.
