A Blessing and a Challenge

So the last time I wrote I talked about how my birth family found me. It is still hard to believe and overwhelming at times. I 2 brothers which was awesome to find out because I always wanted a brother or sister growing up.

Lets back track though, my mom explained to me at a young age that I was adopted she never wanted to hide it from me. Naturally when I was younger I was curious and had so many questions. As I got older though the word “adoption” never crossed my mind.

The only time I felt out of place was when I would go to the dr's and they would ask for my medical background, well of course I could never answer. So once I had kids that really did bother me, because it was the not knowing of what medical issues might be in hiding in our bodies that we weren't aware of.

Now we are back to the current. I have 2 older brothers, one of whom I talk to every day; it's almost like I've always known him. He has a fiance I talk to every day too. I am not big on having a lot of women friends but I also feel like I have been friends with her for years.

The hard part for me is talking to my birth mom. We have not talked on the phone yet, we both have each others numbers but have not reached out. We talk on messenger from time to time. I get a panic attack at the thought of talking over the phone with her because I really don't know what to say to her?

I do feel truly blessed to have found siblings that I never knew I had though, I guess the rest of it will work itself out in time, or at least I am hopeful
