Adopted Sister

Tweet

I recently found out that my sister was put up for adoption when she was born and I have never met her before. The other day I was looking through some photo albums at home and came across an album that had people in it that I had never seen before. There were baby pictures, school pictures, letters from some Brianna and I didn't even know a girl by the name of Brianna. I kept flipping through the pages and just got this very confused look on my face. At that time my mom walked through the door to the bedroom and saw the look on my face and looked down at the photo album. She came and sat by me on the bed and just let out a long sigh. She looked at me and said, "I don't know how to say this, or why I didn't tell you this earlier, but you have a little sister." Instantly my eyes grew big and I wanted to know more. My mom had me when I was really young and I still to this day don't know who my biological father is. After my mom had me, she started drinking heavily and even got into drugs. 3 years later she found out that she was pregnant again and she knew there was no way that she was going to be able to raise this baby on her own again, so she made the choice to put her little baby girl up for adoption. We were living in California at the time of her arrival and moved to Minnesota when I was in 3rd grade. I am now 23 years old and just learning about my little sister. I searched her name on Facebook and found her right away. I knew it was her and sent her a message saying who I was and just saying that I wanted to get to know her more. She accepted my friend request and exchanged phone numbers. I have talked to her everyday since then and its just amazing how similar we actually are and we didn't even know about one another. She is actually attending college in the Twin Cities and so I have talked her into meeting up within the next couple months to finally meet eachother. I am thrilled to finally meet someone who is my "sister" that I knew nothing about, until recently.
