[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think i would do it just out of curiosity, with no expectations.  I might start with one person and posit it as a possible cousin and see how it goes.  There's such a wide range of possible responses it's hard to even know what might happen.  But if you're not young, then presumably there's a level of maturity there.  I think that may move this into the realm of curiosity (for your siblings) rather than shocking and upsetting.

I agree with your musings.  I'd guess I'd just say that affairs and the like and resulting children have been happening since the beginning of humanity, so there's nothing unusual.  In terms of growing up near unknown relatives  - well, that's been going on too, and I bet even some dating and marriages amongst relatives.  And I bet, some older members of the family being jerks about relationships but never sharing why they didn't like the new boyfriend/girlfriend - because they knew it was actually a cousin or other relative but couldn't tell!

Sure, it has been going on forever, but now the game is up. DNA changed it all..no one can hide anymore. Secret affairs, closed and sealed adoptions..those days are over.[/quote]
