Adopted women: What are some tips you would provide someone meeting their half sibling fo the first time?

  1. I have a half sibling that I met for the first time recently. This sounds really silly, but I took my dog with me and I’m so glad I did! She was the perfect icebreaker. Also, if any awkward silences came on I would just play with her and it was no longer awkward.

  2. Be friendly, put your best foot forward and hope for the best, but keep your expectations low. When my bio father got in touch, his whole family embraced me, even his wife’s mother. Seriously, I was invited to her 85th birthday last month!

    Despite that one of my bio father’s children acts like I kick puppies for fun and profit. I’d hoped that she’d grow out of it, but she’s nearly 30 and no change yet. Her older sister couldn’t wait to meet me and we became good friends.
