[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  Lots of cold people on here!  I connected with a half-sibling through Ancestry and it has been great for our lives,  we have vacationed together and our kids now have cousins.  [/quote]

It isn’t cold.  How is a half sibling you meet when you’re 40 that lived an entirely different life any different from the person in front of you at Starbucks?  Maybe you’d be best friends with them if the two f you decided to take your coffee together and sit and have a chat, then meet up again in a week.

What makes a sibling bond special is you grow up together in the same household.  You share the same childhood and many of the same memories.

I do have a half siblings.  They where born when I was away in college.  Between the age difference, another set of parents divorcing, and not spending much time together regularly, the relationship is no where near the same level as my relationship to my sibling I grew up with.  Sharing DNA is not enough to make a relationship.  [/quote]

It's sad you can't bond with people unless you lived with them as a child. [/quote]
