Shocked OMG!!!! PLEASE READ!!!

Okay, where do I start? I HAVE FOUND MY BROTHER AND SISTER!!! I have not seen or talked to them in over ten years, and I have found them, believe it or not on the net!!!!!!!!!! They are really my half brother and sister, but that doesn't change the feeling. The whole past of why I have not seen or talked to them is just too long to discuss here, and I am not sure that I really want to be so public about it. (Hope you all understand! ) Anyway, the other day one of my cousins came over and told me that another one of my cousins was on line and somehow talked to my brother. She told me that he was in college so I should find the college site on the net. I was not very hopeful about it, but I tried anyway and low and behold I found him and it had an e-mail addy. Then, after e-mailing him I just took a chance on my sister being enrolled in the same school and she was there too!! I can not express all of the emotions that ran thru my entire body at that moment!! Well, then I went to Classmates.com amd found him on there (why I never looked there before I don't know, because it gave some very helpful info) and it said that he was an RA (resident advisor) at the college and so I looked up a site for that and it had a picture of him and a phone number!!! I have already tried calling I don't know how many times, but I am sure that he is home for the holidays right now. I will not stop until I make contact!!!!!!!!

This is where all of you come in: When all of this happened, I prayed! I told God that I did not want to be hurt again, so if it was in His will for this to happen, then let it be. If is was not the time right now, then help me to find the strength to realize that it is not necessarily because it won't happen at all, but that it is just simply not the right time for it now. If it is God's will, then it will one day happen. Please, say the same to God for me. This really means so much to me, you guys just have no idea how long I have waited for this moment!!

Thank you for letting me have an "Oprah" moment.

Unhappy

I am so sad that no one has given me any words of encouragement about this subject. Maybe all of you are away doing the holiday thing right now

jjhmom!

Wow! This is incredible.....you must be feeling all sorts of things - excited, nervous, happy - all at once!

I'm with you: if it is God's will, it will happen. And if it is not, He will guide you through.

I'll keep you in my prayers

Awesome story!

I can't even imagine all the emotions that you are going through right now!! I have two adopted cousins that I'm really close to, and I know when one of them found her birth mom, well......it was just so exciting. I'm sure this is no less exciting. I'm sure you wanted to just reach right through the computer when you found them!!

I'm saying a prayer for you RIGHT NOW. Even if things don't work out the way you hope, SOMETHING in this is meant to be, and whatever it is, you know God has a hand in it.

Let us know how it turns out!!

You are in my prayers. I am so happy for you and in all things God will be done. I will pray for his will for you. I understand the emotions. My brother just recently found his daughter and son. Along story there also.
