I have been waiting for at least 10 years to meet a half sister that I knew nothing about other than her first name and that she was born in 1985 as well. After finding out that my biological father married this girls mother, I did a little research at the court house and found their marriage application. All I needed was my sisters mothers name and finding her could be so much easier. So, that was a week ago. In the last week I met my sisters family and found her on facebook. I wrote to her using Mels account and have been waiting for days to hear a reply back. Seeing a picture of her was surreal. Her family told me that I look just like her but I had no idea how right that they were. Waiting for her to write me back is gut wrenching. I have checked that facebook account at least 75 times since friday. If she doesnt want to get into contact with me I will be nothing less than heartbroken.
What kills me is that all of this time, we have been living only miles from one another. We have missed out on 23 years of knowing one another. Everything happens for a reason I guess. Pray for me that she writes back.
