New Family Found!!!

jene4413 · April 2011

Hey ladies!! Sorry I've been MIA - it's been crazy around here lately! Some pretty exciting news to share!!! Nope - not pregnant! My DH was adopted when he was 4 1/2. He found out at 18 that he has a full biological brother. He's tried at various points since to find him - no luck. A couple of weeks ago the subject came up again so MIL and I went to several adoption forums and posted some information that we knew in hopes someone would contribute. I also kept hunting and found out an amazing heritige from his birth mother. I kept printing all the info we could find because I figured at some point we would have to shell out the $ for a Private Investigator. Someone posted bio bro's adopted name and adopted parents names on one of those forums!! I plugged in all the info I had on a family tree site I downloaded. Apparently that site also becomes searchable - and a bio uncle contacted me - who then talked to his sis and sis in law and as we emailed back and forth - dropped a bombshell that DH has 2 older half sisters - and one lives in the same city DH works!!! Bio dad died and bio mom is not someone DH wants to meet - at least right now bc he wasn't given up - he was removed from their custody. The rest of family we have talked to has been searching for John and John's bio bro for a long time and are just so excited to have found him. John is sooooo excited and kind of overwhelmed with all of this. Hopefully through all of these new connections we can still find the brother too...You never know where life's roads will take you!!
