Found Biological Family Through Ancestry
Hi All,
First time poster here. I am an Adoptee, have been since I was a baby. I have always known that I was thanks to my adoptive parents. I should mention, I'm 42 years young, haha.
About 2 months ago, I did an Ancestry DNA test because I wanted to find out what my heritage was. I only knew that I had German as it was disclosed on my adoption papers.
Well, since the test, I have found out who my Biological Dad is, and more about his side of the Family, which I never thought/imagined was a possibility because my biological mother never disclosed any information about him. Both are now deceased 😞 I should also mention, i do not believe my Dad's side knew about me. I have been in contact with a biological Uncle since, who has been receptive with communicating, which I'm so grateful for as it could have been the complete opposite.
I have all sorts of mixed feelings about everything I have learned which I have never experienced before. I guess I am looking for some words of encouragement/advice on how to continue.
Sorry for the long post.
