Many of you know my story, so I will not go into details.
I have decided that I have waited enough and plan to
contact my half brother sometime before Christmas. I have "gut instinct" that he will be happy to hear from me. I believe that I will call, rather then write, because this way I will get an immediate reaction before he has a chance to talk to our mother. I have already decided to
do this and guess I just need some support.

I think you have done the honourable thing and waited for quite a while...so I hope things go well for you when you call your brother. Just be aware though if he doesn't know already, (and you don't know for sure that your birthmum hasn't told him), his immediate reaction will be one of shock, so you need to think carefully about what you will say to him and how you will say it. I really wish you luck and I hope it turns out great for you, to make your Christmas a special one.

Hi Nicky

I wish the best of luck to you!! Follow your instincts and you will do fine. Remember to keep an open mind and to expect the unexpected.

Cheering you on...

I don't know your story, but, I can imagine. IMHO you have every right to contact any family member you wish. I am assuming maybe birth mom refused contact?

Here's wishing you a very warm reception from your brother!

Best wishes Nicki! I hope you get the holiday present of your dreams!!

Hi,
I do wish you the best with your phone call to your brother. A couple of years ago I called my birthsister, and we had a very nice conversation...but, I knew that once my birthmother found out about it that I wouldn't hear from her anymore....I still have 2 other 1/2 siblings that know nothing about me....and am hoping one day to get up enough guts to call them!! I do wish you the best, and let us know how everyhting went!! Brenda

Nicky,

I hope all goes well when you contact your half brother ... just prepare yourself that he may not want contact.

Good luck though.

Good luck man. I wish I had someone trying to get ahold of me.

Nicky.... I am not familiar with your story either... but I admire your courage and your firm grip on reality.

Hope for the best... and brace yourself!

Remember though that a confused mind tends to say "no"... so his first reaction might not be his true feelings. I hope you are able to leave him with your contact information so that after you finish the conversation he can reach back toward you when he is ready.

Keep us posted and good luck!
