Eight years ago I met my birth dad and his family for the first time. I also found out that I have two full sisters and a brother.
My birthparents ended up getting married a year after putting me up for adoption. They were married for eight years and then divorced.
My problem is with my birth sisters and brother. They have not welcomed me into the family at all. My sister who is a couple of years younger than me held off meeting me for five years because she didn't want to give up her position as the oldest. I have received nothing but the cold shoulder from them.
My birth dad, while originally supportative and eager to get to know me and my family, has stopped dropping by and calling as well. I've sent him cards with his gandchildrens' pictures in them and asked him to call. No response. I feel that he has decided to go along with his childrens' wishes and not rock the boat.
Any advice on how I can save what is left of my relationship with my birth dad, or is it too late?


Thanks, Ann
