[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My much-younger brother is navigating this. It’s been tough. A lot of the facts are pretty hurtful for him (bio dad in jail, grandmother who actually opposed the adoption died before he got a chance to meet her). It’s been pretty disruptive. [/quote] Unfortunately this situation is true for many young people who make contact with their birth families. The Cinderella stories are few and far between. OP is very correct in wanting to stand by her brother and help him traverse this potentially rocky road. OP's brother would be well-served to have a trusted adult or professional (family therapist, attorney, LCSW) help him [i]in addition to [/i]the love and support of OP and his mother. I am sorry that your brother is struggling, PP, and I hope it gets better for him. You sound like a wonderful and caring sibling, and he is blessed to have you.[/quote]
