I just found out I have an adopted sister. She doesn’t know about me. Should I reach out to her?

I found out a couple days ago that my mom gave a daughter up for adoption when I was between the ages of seven and 10. The girl was adopted out locally and grew up near has no idea that she was adopted. I am worried that if I reach out to her, it could her life. Do you think it’s better to keep it a secret or try to reconnect with family?

Homeless shelter funding cuts

Currently Columbus has 800 homeless shelter beds. Last night we had 598 people on the wait list for a bed. Next year they are thinking about cutting 43% of the shelter capacity. Something to keep in mind when you vote this fall.
