The idea of being blood related to someone has always been a very vague and hypothetical idea to me. Apparently there were DNA matches found. I don't know how to deal with this information right now. I haven't clicked into that part of the report. I knew this was a possibility but I also did not prepare myself for this. We probably should have spent several sessions on this, but we didn't. The current plan is to not look at this information until we can meet again in person and do it in session. I emailed him that I got the results and the feelings I was having about it. It was his idea to read it in session and I think it's a sound one.
I haven't been adopted but what you've written does make sense. I hope you do get the support you need when you decide to have a look.
