  1. I'm pumped. After years of searching I finally located my brother's birthfather. He was a Danish sailor and my brother was born in Canada, so all I had were two very weak second-cousin genetic matches on two different testing services to go by. But tonight I finally found him! So that's all three of us adopted siblings with our birthparents identified!

  2. The family reunion [for my adoptive family] is this weekend. The last time I attended a reunion was probably in 2007. I got married in 2008. I never had a spouse or boyfriend or friend to attend with me. Cousins within my age bracket rarely ever attended & if they did, they either hid away reading a book or were very much better than I at small talk, connecting with distant relatives they probably won't see again till next year. My grandmother was alive & I attended most of the reunions with her. I wanted to. Reunions were typically held at a state park where I could go on brief walks, hikes, play with a camera without making others [or me] feel weird. Late last year, I learned I have biological half-siblings... I'm not going to the a-family reunion this year, though it's been years... it somehow seems so wrong that I would be attending yet another family reunion without my siblings.

  3. This is going to sound so weird…Fellow #adoptees I’ve heard tell that #searchangels sometimes are found trying to help people in the NYPL is that in fact true?

  4. Question for adoptees: At what point do you consider your Ancestry matches to be safe to add to your tree?

    I know it really mucks things up if one adds to their tree all willy-nilly, but what info do you need to confirm that X is who Ancestry is saying they are & how do you go about proving that for yourself? Thanks in advance.
