my mom was 14 (almost 15) when she had my sister, 21 when she had me, and 22 (almost 23) when she had my brother...when i was 12 i found out that 11 months after my mom had my sister she had another baby which she gave up for adoption...from that moment on i thought about him often...wondered who he was, how he was...recently my sister found a guy in Tennessee name Kevin who was given up for adoption in Akron, Ohio with the matching info my mom had about her baby...
my sister then wrote a letter to his mother, who gave it to his sister...my sister talked to his sister on Friday and sent some pics back and forth...i've seen the pics and they look just like each other...so after his sister talked to him and told him about the letter, he called and talked to my sister...my sister has a 10 yr old son and Kevin has a 10 yr old daughter...they are two months apart
then Kevin called my mom...my poor mom kept crying...that was Friday...well Sunday he called her again and asked if he could come up and see her...she said if he wanted this weekend she'd meet him halfway but he said she was all he could think about all weekend and needed to see her...so this evening my mom and sister get to meet him...he only wants to meet then for now because he gets real nervous and embarrassed...i can completely understand...this is a lot in a short time
for years i thought about contacting Montell or something so my mom would meet him before she died...i know my mom pretty well whether she knows it or not...she's been waiting 30 yrs for this...she cries every year on his birthday...but he's not bitter or hateful...he didnt know how to find her or he would have a long time ago...i have not talked to him yet, but from what i've heard from my mom and sister, him and my sister are so similar...
and i know what my sister is going through...last year i talked to my 16 yr old younger sister from my dad for the first time ever...and it was like talking to me when i was 16...i was flabbergasted...its crazy how you grow up seperately from a sibling but the similarities are uncanny...
i cant wait to meet him...and i am still waiting to meet my sister...but she is in a foster home...she got taken away from her POS mother...when she's 18 i know i'll see her...hopefully sooner though
AND TONIGHT IS MY 30 SECONDS TO MARS CONCERT WOOOHOOO
