[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister and I were able to connect with and meet our half sister because she got a DNA test and also because she and my sister were both on Ancestry.com.  We knew about her but had long ago given up on finding her.  She, however, was very curious at this point in her life about her unmet siblings (she was born from a previous marriage of my dad's) because she knew about us but had not been given any information about us other than we existed.

It has all been very positive so far.  She had a lot of questions about our dad, her mother had refused to tell her anything about him.  She had vague memories of him from when she was a young child.  We were able to explain to her what he was like and why she was actually better off not having a relationship with him.  I think it eased her mind, she (like any child might) had always thought there was something wrong with her that he didn't want to be around her, which was not true at all.

I'm not getting any DNA test but I'm glad she did.[/quote]

Just had a very similar experience with my husband meeting his half brother for the first time. My FIL refuses to take responsibility even though DNA has confirmed the match. It’s actually leading to some pretty between DH and FIL now, though.

We just flew up to their midwestern state over Labor Day weekend- we had plans to only meet for a few hours (we didn’t want to pressure the half brother too much) but ended up spending nearly the whole weekend with them. Super different people from us- but sooo nice. I’m so glad we went and met them. I wish they were closer to us! We’ll definitely be getting together again soon. [/quote]
