I found my birthmother in the 1980’s. She was in complete denial. It was very sad. But 7 years ago I found my sister, and we’ve become incredibly close. Our poor birth mother had a very complicated life with a lot of sadness and deceit. Because of the times in which she lived it was very scandalous to have a child, never mind two, out of wedlock. We both have the same father, and we found that we had four half-sisters and a half-brother. My sister and I have forged a great relationship with each other, and it was worth the effort to find her. Do this!!!
