Except I've just been told that they're not half-siblings, but a full brother and a full sister.  Where does all this family live? In the Pittsburgh area. Um... go Pirates? |

I've literally no idea who you are, but this is still genuinely fascinating, exciting stuff to be reading as a complete stranger. I hope you are able to get whatever you want with of this, but I hope you also tread carefully. Things seem to have moved at quite a pace in short time, don't be surprised if you hit some kind of disappointment or setback. But keep us posted.

That's pretty amazing. Do let us know how it goes.
Have you ever watched Mike Leigh's Secrets & Lies? The basic plot about an adopted person looking into their biological family tree is the same.

It’s a remarkable thing Mike, I’m really pleased for you. You must be so intrigued, and overwhelmed too, I don’t doubt. I hope it goes well for you, and do let us know what happens.
I was adopted soon after birth (there was a period of about six weeks where nobody seems to know quite where I was, and with whom) and I know nothing about my birth parents.
It’s never bothered me in the slightest, but as I’ve got older I have become more curious. I’ve never yet made any attempt to find any extant family I may have, because I know it would upset my mum too much, but I’ve had in the back of my mind for a long time that when she’s no longer with us, I will do some digging.

it will be interesting to know where you got your lugubrious nature from One thing I do know - I was born in Yorkshire. So no mystery there. |

Update: I got back last night from meeting my new family. They're... actually all really wonderful people, who were thrilled to have me fall into their lives, and it feels (for me, and as far as they tell me, for them) as if I've always been there in their lives. We're already planning more visits, and it looks like I've become the rare cat with three fantastic families (adopted, in-law, and biological).
