I have bought a card, saying "Thinking of You" and plan to write her a letter, giving her a definate clue that it is from her daughter, but if anyone else were to read it, would sound like just an old friend catching up, in case she hasn't told her present husband her past.

If she doesn't respond, I plan to go ahead and connect with my half siblings... altho I don't want to hurt her (I am sure they don't know about me), I feel I have a right to know them, and they me.

My concern is... how do I fit into this newly found possible family...? I was legally given away... who are these half siblings... do I actually have a right to a connection with them... is blood thicker than water, and all that??

I need to find a support group in the Cornwall, Ontario area... to talk with others, who might have gone thru this...
