I don't know your situation but I agree with Dinah that you should probably remain a bit on the guarded side. I have a half-brother and half-sister that were given up for adoption before I was born. They came out and found my/our mom. At first I was sooo thrilled. I always wanted siblings. (I was/am an only child.) I couldn't have been happier to have family, and my brother even has kids, so I was an aunt too. I never thought I'd be called that. Anyhow, that was 10-12 years ago, and we are far from "close". I guess I watched too many reunion shows and saw all that love. It's hard to make something be there when it's not there. No water fights. No hiding in closets and giggling in the night together. Hard to make a sister or brother be a sister or brother, when you don't have all those brothery sisterly memories. Just MY experience. Hope that doesn't bring you down. I still suggest you try and reach out to him, ya never know unless you try, just don't expect it to be roses without a few thorns. Be well - SD
