Update on Biological Sister.

I am finally going to meet my paternal half sister in a couple of weeks! She is 8 months younger than me and has a lot of ill feelings towards our biological father. She has a rollercoaster ride of issues and has recently decided that these were all the result of him.

My paternal half brother (her brother) recently surprised me. He and his family are coming to visit the Boston area during the December vacation week and he wants to have a big get together with all of us. A family (?) reunion of sorts. He has rented a lodge in New Hampshire and we are all staying up there. I am thrilled they are coming since I had such a great time meeting them in Texas.

This past weekend I met my b-mom and her husband for lunch. My b-aunt and her husband came along and we had a great time. They brought me a 17 pound fresh turkey for Thanksgiving. Fortunately, it wasn’t still alive! You never know with these folks. I can’t help feeling sad for B. and her husband since this will be the first holiday since their son D. passed away.  During the lunch, I kept sneaking sideways glances at her husband and there is just such sadness . It just envelopes him. He lost his baby boy. His pride and joy.

Life is so short. I hope this year is “the year” for all the waiting moms, dads, adoptees and siblings out there. If we all concentrate real hard and ask kimkim’s universe…..maybe it will happen for all!

I have two weeks till I can legally obtain my un-amended birth certificate although it seems somewhat anti-climatic at this point. I will get it though just because I can!
