What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been

Allen July 10th, 2005

On Friday morning, I was an adopted only child.  Today, as of last count, I have 2 full-blood siblings and 3 (possibly more) half-blood siblings.

I had always known that I was adopted, but had never pursued a relationship with my "other" family.  Not sure if I wasn’t going to raise old wounds or cause grief to someone who would rather have closed that chapter of their life.

My wife received a call from the Deaconess Home on Friday morning.  Apparently my aunt and siblings were searching for me and they had some letters that they could deliver if I was so interested.  Needless to say, I was interested and received the letters on Saturday morning.

Several phone calls later and I now have brothers and sisters.  We’re all still getting to know one another and I look forward to getting to know them.
