"The Talk"
Good Luck! I know its terrifying - be prepared for some mixed reactions ... 11 years after finding out about my sister what sticks with me now about that initial conversation was the fear that maybe I didnt know my mother as well as I thought I did ... and what other shocks were going to come out ... Be honest ... mostly I would guess they will question why you didnt tell them sooner. I wouldnt change it for anything though ... especially seeing how much it has helped my mother! Do you have some pictures to bring along? That might help with the reality of the situation. Is your children's father involved with the situation. We also had some concerns about how this new sib would be received by our dad (not the same as hers) - having that support if needed might be nice as well. Let me know how it goes okay!
