I’ve Found Her!

I used Truthfinder.com to perform a search with what little information I had about my sister.  I knew her first name and was pretty certain that I knew her middle name.  I suspected she was born in 1980, due to a single message I found posted in search of our biological father in 2003.  Her username was Samsara1980.  Finally, during that unfortunate call with Donal, he gave me her middle name.  Given the fact that he has called me Jenny and repeatedly comments about the time in Georgia, thinking that’s where I live, I just used the middle initial and year of birth.

It spit out the name of a woman who is the right age, was born in a place that I know Donal lived, and her middle name was the same as the name Donal had told me.  Among the contact details was an email address for a legal clinic.  I checked their website for staff, and found that this person was still listed as an attorney at their organization.  There were pictures of all of them, except my sister.

In any case, I sent an email to that address.  I never heard anything back.  I thought it was possible that my message got caught in a spam filter, so after a week, I sent a second email to a couple of different addresses.  I sent them around 9:00 last night.  At 3:00 AM, I got up to use the bathroom.  When I got back, I checked my mail.  I had a reply!!!

I wrote back and told her that I do understand and that I’m here when she’s ready.

I thought I’d be more excited, but I feel a little sad.  She’s needed me, and I haven’t been able to be there for her.  I hope she doesn’t make me wait long.  Being a good big sister is the first goal I ever had, and it’s never fallen off my list.  💖
