    Call your birth mother and talk to her. Tell her exactly what you have said in your question. Your birth mother may be happy to reunite you and siblings. I had a similar situation with my son who I adopted and I called his birth mother and explained that I had her biological son. She had remarried and had another son who did not know about the one she gave up. I told her to take time and if she decided to tell the son about his brother and wanted to meet him, that could be arranged. We actually became very good friends. The relation between my son and his birth mother is on a friendly basic because he see me as Mom.

    I wish you very much luck with this and a wonderful outcome.

    You left out how old you are. If your sister is a minor, then your mother could probably interfere. But why would she? We don't know why you were separated from your mother and sister, do you?

    Maybe it would be better to write her a letter, that way you will NOT see her reaction and she can think about it a bit BEFORE she answers. Otherwise, she might identify you with the reason for the separation. People should not be judged by their reaction to a sudden shock, but rather have a chance to let their emotions settle a bit first. I have no doubt that she has suffered guilt and pain from the separation. I would make absolutely sure I was right before approaching her.

    When I thought I'd found my dad, I sent a letter asking if he was the person that married my mother (name & dates, etc). I said if he was, he could contact me at my phone number & address. Little did I know, but he showed up in my driveway 5 days later.

    As for your siblings, if they are minors, it will be up to your mother on meeting them. When they are adults, you can contact them directly. I would recommend the letter first. That way, if they don't want contact, you will be less hurt by no response than a slamed door in your face.

    Good Luck

    I even have an exceedingly stable relationship with my adoptive mom. To be hassle-free, i began out my seek searching for my father. Adoptive fathers in my existence left alot I propose alot to be needed. If a parent can love greater desirable than one baby, then a baby can love greater desirable than one parent. Its this way now in step parent relationships. I even have been on that end too. mothers are available all shapes and kinds. i'm the daughter of two women human beings. the two have inspired me. right this is an occasion: when I had my first daughter, a chum got here traveling. in a roundabout way we've been given on the subject count number of adoption. I advised her that i became into an adoptee. She asked if I had ever searched. I advised her that i prefer to yet i did no longer have the money to achieve this. She advised me that she became right into a organic mom. I asked her the comparable question. She suggested that she felt that she did no longer have the main appropriate to seek. For a 2nd in time, i became into her baby and she or he became into my organic mom. I even have had this journey on distinctive activities. Its therapeutic for me and my adoptive mom when I run into those circumstances. An adoptive mom might desire to no longer are transforming into a mom without yet another mom. Ask lots of the adoptive mothers in this board, they are going to believe that fact. in case you adore your baby, you will honor your baby's mom and dad no count number who they're or how undesirable they're.

    What do you really have to lose? Maybe you were too small to understand everything. Your mom maybe waiting for the day you look her up? Your sister has the right to know you and the choice to love you...Give them a chance...it is really in your benifit...Good luck in your search...

    Maybe it would be best to wait until your sister is old enough to decide for herself. Sounds like your mother wasn't much of anything, I would keep your distance...you don't need that drama.

    In my opioion i think you should contact the women and ask to see the silbing you have the right to see the your sister. so if i were you i would call. if she does what you to them go ahead and do it because she your sister and you have the right to see her as her brother.

    Source(s): It's inmy own opioion.
