If you feel you’re not supposed to, that is ok! I strongly believe your (half) brother and (adoptive) dad would understand. But if it’s not time, it’s not time. If you want help with how to reach out one day, one of my best friends who found out she is donor conceived has some great templates for how to initiate contact with bio fam that may not know about you.

Girl! You need to drop that guilt. If they love you they want whatever makes you happy! You being happy knowing more of your bio family doesn’t take away from them.

I reached out to them when i was 18 and they were 23. its been 18 years. i still feel guilty for feeling that i ruined his relationships with his family. our dad and grandma lied until he said we were doing tests. they finally admitted it. he says i shouldnt feel the guilt but i do. this is your choice. dont feel pressured. we are like long distance friends. we see each other but dont do extra. this is soo personal. youre making the choice for you

I found out when I was 21 that my dad who raised me isn't my dad AND I know my biological dad (my adopted dad couldn't have kids so a friend donated so they could have me) AND I have 2 half sisters and a half brother on my biological dad's side. Insane.

If it’s something you want I say try. My sister found us when i was in middle school (we’re 18 years apart) our mom never told us she had another child, but she’s been in our lives ever since and her adoptive parents became like grandparents to us. Not every situation is the same but sometimes there are good results.

My love, adding more people to your life in no way diminishes the amazing relationship you have with your dad and your brother. It makes your heart bigger, you make room for the new people, but it doesn’t make your existing love for your brother and dad smaller. You have connections, memories and experiences with them that nobody and nothing could replace.

As someone who’s adopted and did meet her bio siblings - it was the best thing for me. I have best friends who’ve been through something similar and we can all laugh about the bs we all came from together. In saying that, it’s not for everyone. I got lucky in meeting them. I know people who are either parents/siblings/kids from the system who have met and it’s turned out awful. It’s a big decision to make and even though I always wanted it, when I got the option to make the decision, I still took time to mull it over. Do I want this change? Am I ready for it? Can I handle it? Are they going to accept me? Have they been so traumatized they don’t want me? Do they know about me? Etc. so much to consider and accept. I hope no one ends up making the decision for you, and I hope whatever decision you make, it’s the one that brings you the most peace. I am here as someone with experience and information that I can provide. If you are a reader, check out the book “The Girls Who Went Away” by Ann Fessler. It’s a great insight to adopted people meeting family from pre roe v wade. Some family knew, some didn’t, some experiences were positive and some weren’t. Great read!

My adoption story mirrors yours a lot and i didn’t reach out to my half sister until she sent my mom and i a facebook request and mom recognized her name and reached out. I met her once and was thoroughly unimpressed we haven’t spoken in over 10 years at this point. So i completely understand your thoughts because I’ve had them before

Hey! Sorry this is completely off topic but has there been any update you can share about the whole apartment saga you were going through last year?

My daughter met her bio brother and her step sister and brother. She is closer to them than her bio dad. My husband and I are close to them now as well! When they come to town they stop to see us too! I really hope this works out for you because it can be amazing!!

I think if they love you as much as you love them then they will support you in this journey.

I do wonder if I have any… but I don’t want to have to reach out to my bio dad to find out…

Totally talk to them about it. If you do want to find out we only have this one life.

And it's okay to feel the way that she feels. But it's also okay to talk to your family members about it.And see what they actually think

In 2020, my husband found out he has a half sister. She’s 9 months older than him. It literally turned our world upside down. No one had a clue. Lots of icky things came to light and I don’t think I’ve looked at my FIL the same. 😕

I’ve thought about this because I’ve never met my bio dad and have his name but that’s it. I’ve battled with trying to find him and seeing if I have siblings or other family but I’m scared my dad is gonna be hurt. I wouldn’t trade my dad for anything in this world.

Educating with love ❌ :
As an adoptive parent, I’ll just say that adopted people tend to put everyone else first. That could be to your detriment. Love isn’t limited. You can love many people, and the more, the better. Same with having them love you. Anyone who is threatened by that doesn’t understand how infinite it is or is controlling.
