Finally,I Get To Meet My Siblings...

This was truly a moment that I have been waiting for ever since we found my dad. In my world, I suddenly went from being the youngest of five children, to the oldest of seven. Do you have any idea how surreal that is??? I can answer that for you, no you don’t! You see, when you have a story like mine, reality is perception only.

I grew up in an all white family. I knew that I was different. I always dreamed and prayed for someone to look like me.That prayer was answered when I had my own children. They look like me. I wanted to look like someone else. There is a difference. When I met my dad and discovered my Thai family my true prayer was answered. Now, I have a whole clan of family that looks exactly like me. That might not mean a lot to most, but when you do not know who you are, it means everything. Meeting my siblings definitely helped me feel more complete. I loved every minute of it! I think, maybe they were a little shocked at how much I looked like them. We all are! Which makes my story that much more astonishing!

I will always remember this day! I know this has not been easy for them. I also want them to know that I have been very lonely in my life at times. My journey is Amazing, but not always easy. None of our lives are perfect. It is not our circumstances that define us, it is how we respond to them that makes ALL the difference. I am in love with my new found family!!! It is just going to get sweeter from this point forward!!
