I hope you guys r able to grow a strong relationship b/c it sounds like u both want to know each other. I know it'll work out if you just keep trying to talk to her. I think she's just hurt right now and needs time to think about everything.

I have a similar situation b/c I was given up for adoption and I just found my bio mom. I also found out I have 3 half siblings. I have a younger brother that was adopted by our uncle and my other 2 siblings are with my bio mom. My brother and I were given up b/c she had us young and it was accidental. Anyways, my point is my brother was raised in the bio family and he also grew up with a stable wealthy family. I on the other hand grew up in a unstable very confusing family with another brother that was adopted as well.

At times I feel sorry for myself and compare my life to my other siblings and wish things could've went a bit differently. Although I love my brother I grew up with I also think it's weird that I didn't grow up with my bio siblings and I feel like I was deprived from knowing them. I'm rambling a bit but what I'm trying to say is one minute I want to know them so much and then the other I'm hurt b/c they have and had so much more opportunity than me. It makes u feel like an outcast sometimes and no body wants that. So, if thats similar to how your sis is feeling she just needs a loving person to have patience and understand her. I know she'll get over it and hopefully u guys can have the strong bond that u both really want.
