I met my bio half sister a few years ago. It was, and remains, utterly surreal. I was so nervous beforehand that I left half my clothes in a drawer in our AirBnB. I felt like vomiting the whole time. We’re slowly developing a friendship and see each other when we can. It’s made me feel like I’m connected to something. I try to explain to others how odd it is for me and I don’t think anyone who’s not adopted can really understand.
Last month I was contacted on 23&me by a sister I never knew I had. I was adopted at a young age and she remained in foster care.This Christmas will be the first time we ever meet and the first time I’ll have contact with anyone from my biological family. As nervous as I am there is nothing that will stop me from being all in with this.
@@amarnathcr7335 thanks for asking. The first few days were very awkward and hard to really connect on any level. It started to feel like a mistake as neither of us seemed to be finding what we were looking for. As the days went on things slowly fell into place and we were finally able to have some meaningful conversations. It was initially rough because it wasn’t just my sister that came, she had brought her 2 older boys (19,21), her 14 year old daughter and 2 younger kids who were both on the spectrum and really needed constant attention. Was just a lot to take in at first and made it hard to find a suitable time to have some meaningful conversations. Her kids were always “so bored” and not happy being here (nor would I be at that age, specially after a 8 hour car ride). But like I said after 3 days I realized I needed to quit trying to find ways to entertain her and her kids and just go with the flow and be around her and the kids, find my time in there. Christmas we spent in Galveston, TX on Pleasure Pier, it had some carnival games, roller coasters and other fun rides for the kids and none of them had ever seen a beach before so it was great to see them get to experience that. We left Galveston at like 11pm Christmas night and the whole hour ride back to the hotel I just sat in the back of the van listening to everyone exchanging conversation with tears rolling down my cheeks. They were happy tears because I had been searching for biological family for so long and there I was finally connected with what’s left of my immediate biological family. I felt like they understood me and that I was in a good space.
@@plnkfloydian7814 I'm really happy for you. You not only got to see your long long sister but also your Nephews and Niece. I quite didn't understand much what you talked about Galveston, TX, Pleasure pier as this is all new for me. I'm guessing Galveston is a place 😅. I'm Indian and this was all new for me. Anyways happy to know that you've had a wonderful Christmas ☺️.
Wow, so cool. I needed to see this to help me as I do the same thing but our is 60 years, his wife found me in 2019 and now my brother from North Carolina, his two sons and their children, my bio mom (who I met in 2020), my other brother from Germany that I met in 2022, my brother who found me and his wife who I have not yet met physically, my children from Michigan and Georgia will all meet on November 21, 2023. I will meet my two bothers from Germany a few days early before the family gathering, but oh boy this is so awesome. I can't thank you enough for sharing! Please say a prayer that all goes well. I'm sure it will. Blessings to you and your newfound families!
Seriously put your phone down for 2 minutes. Life will actually feel much better. It is like you are doing this for attention not because you love your brother. There were 2 other cameras on you
I wish I had this relationship or bond with my siblings ,, the only time we get close almost like hugging is wrestling each other beating one another ..
why? either there is no god and the world is the way it is, very random. innocent children are stricken with terminal disease. bad people get rich and live "blessed" lives. or God is sadistic and/or sociopath and allow such hardship to happen. I'm glad you have your faith and it makes you happy but stop proselytising to non-religious good people.

The brother could’ve at least worn something decent to his sister for the 1st time at the airport.
pretty sure she wanted to meet her real brother and not some disguised clown

Believe in Jesus Christ and come back to Bible!! Still Beautiful story !! God is good amen ❤️
