Last night, my father called and said "Mom and and are coming over... we have something good to talk to you about." uhh... ok.
It seemed like an eternity until they got to my house (even though they live like 2 miles away... lol) My mind was racing trying to think about what they could possibily want to talk to me about. Well.......... Nothing could have prepard me for the bomb shell they dropped on me. I will never forget those 5 words for as long as I live. "You have a half brother on your dad's side"  I swear I almost went  ... but then all I could do was  and say "I have a brother... I have a brother!" It was the most incredible feeling in the world. Ever since I was little, since I was an only child due to my mom's inability to have another child, I dreamed of having a sibling. And now... almost 25 years later, I find out that I always had one! I don't think it has fully sunk in yet. I'm still at the "no way! this can't be true" stage (even though I have seen pictures of my brother and nieces... I AM AN AUNT!!!  )... I don't think it will really sink in until we get to meet him. I have no idea when and if that will happen. My parents said that they haven't even talked to my brother on the phone yet. They have just emailed a lot and had a few phone conversations with his wife. (omg! I have a sister-in-law! Sorry, I just relazed that) He is really over-whelmed by it all (which is understandable)... I am just hoping and praying that everything works out and I can meet my brother and his family and hopefully become a part of their lives. Wow... I am rambling 90 miles a hour. Sorry... I'll stop now. This is how I feel.    ... but at the same time, I am nervous as hell because what if this doesn't have an happy outcome? What if we meet him and then never hear from him again because it's too overwhelming to him... or what if... ugh... too many negative thoughts running through my mind... So, yeah... am I over-joyed? Yes. Am I scared to death that I will end up emotionally hurt? Definately.

Oh that is so cool! especially since you were an only child
I remember the first time I found out I had a sister I didn't know I had-- I think I felt all the emotions at once and then went numb from the "overload"..... it can be a confusing time. I hope this develops into much love and family gatherings for you best to you- "sis"  fins

 There is still word about when or if we will meet him. I think my logical brain is kicking in now saying "don't get your hopes up... it may never happen" And I kinda feel like if we do meet and hit it off... ... but if not, it's whatev... I've lived without him for almost 25 years, what's the rest of my life? I know it's bad to say... but that's just how I feel.

Well, I think you are being cautious and that's OK right now.
I hope you are doing OK and if you ever need to "talk" you are always welcomed to PM me. fins

Remember, take it as it comes. You can be happy about being a sister without having to imagine that everything is going to be wonderfull blah blah blah.... Just live with the happiness about what you know. Tommorrow will take care of itself, dear. Imagining the worst will not make you feel better today or if it really happens. Don't hype your self up or mourn in advance. HUGGGGSSSSSSS

Well... my dad and brother finally talked (through email). My dad basically just sent my bro an email telling him how much he regretted having to put give him up, and telling him about himself, etc
It took all weekend for my bro to email my dad back, but he finally did. He told him about himself and that he wanted to meet and stuff, but that things were just really overwhelming for him right now. But he ended by saying "but the future looks very bright." Which leads me and my parents to believe that he wants a relationship with us!!!!

Congratulations Miracle!!!! I am so excited for you!!! It may take your brother...woot woot...a little bit to let it all sink in, but hopefully he will come around. It sounds like your sister in law...another woot woot...is open to the idea and she will hopefully be there to talk him though the overwhelmingness of it. I am sure she wants her kids to meet their auntie miracle!!! Best of luck and keep us posted
