How would you react if. . .

If I found out I had another sister I hadn't know about, I would be extremly happy! Generally when children are separated (for whatever reason) they are noit told the full circumstances. Do not hold anything against your sister. I would be very thankful to have her. I am 60 years old and my sisiter is 73 (I also have abrother who is 69). I realize how precious life and family are. I hope you enjoy having found your new sisiter and have a wonderful relationship!

Wow 50 some years later? oh man oh man, my parents sure would have some explaining to do thats for sure. I would want to meet my long lost sister IF she wanted to meet me. I would want to meet her alone with no one else around, just the two of us and go from there. Oh I hope it works out for you and your sister, good luck caila!

I'm 33. When I was 15, my mom told me I have a brother. I freaked a bit. Over the next 17 years, I wanted to contact him, but he is a family secret that my grandpa doesn't know about. My mom never told him. Only my mom, my grandma and some family my mom stayed with knew about the baby. Last year, he contacted my mom. He lives on the east coast, and we are on the west coast. He was coming out with his family to visit relatives. So, my mom, sister, nephews, grandma, a couple uncles, an aunt, and I drove up to see them. We met at a restaurant and had lunch. He brought his wife and 3 kids. It's funny- my mom had 3 kids, and each of her kids grew up to have 3 kids. My grandpa still doesn't know. He's going to be 90 this summer. I think he will find out when he gets to Heaven. I also think it's crappy of my mom to not tell him. We welcomed my brother, sister-in-law, nieces & nephew with very wide open arms. Sometimes these things take time, and sometimes they are simple. I'm sure it's hard for you, being on the outside. They will either love and accept you or they won't. Just remember- you did nothing wrong, don't feel guilty or anything. If they are good people, they will love you no matter what! On the other hand, bad things have happened. Family sometimes thinks things like- the newcomer is only here to see what's in the will, or similar. Be careful also. You don't know what kind of a family you're coming into!! 50 years is a long time, too. Make the most out of your life. If these are good people- I wish you the best. If they're not- I wish you more than the best!!!

me, if i found out for example about you, i think im too old to just accept it. I honestly know that you are a victim, well we can't choose parents anyway, so we do not know it. I will not contact you, i have no courage, although i can accept you, i still have no courage to initiate that calling think, unless someone will do something to let us meet. If someone arrange as a meeting, yes, i will go for it. If im the older,i will initiate the talk , a little about the past but more on the future, because i don't want to remember much more of the past, but i still ask question and be friends or be the olders sister you never knew. But if im the younger one, i think i will be shy enough to do anything to meet you. I think i will just wait for the day that we meet up in the street and wait for your reaction before i react. A lot of shyness on my part, i think.

I would be very interested to meet my long lost sister. I would never hold it against her~ she was an innocent baby. I think that a family reunion would be wonderful with a new sister included. I would hope that my parents would be honest enough to tell us the circumstances after so long. Good luck to you.

Hi Caila611! I do not know aboutt others but i am not the sort of person to keep a grudge on anyone. Especially i do not think i will keep a grudge against an innocent victim. Life is short why spend it in hatred? Let's spread the language of love.

I think if it was me i'd be more curious, interested because i just never knew, i would want to get to know them, and see what kind of people they were, what we had in common and what we didn't. I know it's probably scary, nerve wracking, and much much more, i wish you luck with this, i couldn't imagine what your going through.

I wouldn't hold it against my sister and I would contact her. After all she probably didn't know I existed just like I didn't know she existed.

I think that since you now all know and have the chance now to get to know each other and be apart of each others lives that is all that should matter. This wouldnt be the time to play the blame game. If i found that i had a long lost sister/brother i would definitly embrace him/her as family. Good Luck!!!

I would understand and want to get to know her. Are they not wanting to see you?

u can change the situation,weahter u do not speak with her or you dont accept her as ur sister.the fact still remains that she is ur sister.so why not act maturely and embrace her and let her feel the family love she has missed for 50years.and i will let the remaining year u will spend torether be memoriable .remeber it is not how far but how well.me personally,i will love her like never before...because she is my missing jewel i've been looking for the past 50yrs.

I would call and at least introduce myself and see if they would like to meet me. My father in law last christmas found out that he had a sister that he never met and they got in touch with her for christmas day and they were all happy to no they had a sister. But yes call your family and explain who you are and ask if you can meet the family that you never had. Hugs and good luck.

I would be happy to know that i have a nother sister.

i would to know her if ever i am in that situation, ... give them time, they are just surprise as you are! good luck!

Wow! Tough position to be in I'd say. I hope they learn to accept the situation and enjoy their new sister even if she's not being presented as a newborn babe, lol. Obviously you had no control over the situation and it shouldn't be held against you. When my daughter found out she had a brother, she was estatic and couldn't wait to meet him. I'm really glad we had a chance to meet him and get to know him, even if it was for only a short time. He's an adult now & in the military so contact is infrequent at best, but there is still contact. :D ps. if your sister knew your birth mother, this may not be as big of a surprise as you think. ;)
