This past week, DH and I spent Thanksgiving with my sister/mom (back East). My mom had to be put in an assisted home cause of Alzheimer's and this may be the last Thanksgiving together.
Anyway we went out there to also help my sister clean my mom's house too. While there, I found a lot of things that were packed away long ago (including my Teddy Bear I had as a baby which is being shipped back to me
)
Both my sister and I were adopted as babies (we are not blood siblings). Our mom never told us much about who the birth parents were - just some general things. We found the court papers of legal name change (which mom never told us about). So I found out I was a Susan Marie when born; and my sister was Karen Lee.
The weird thing was the "schedule" that the foster parents had typed up to give to our mom after - it was sooo funny
DH is happy for me as my sister and I got to get back together. My ex isolated me from my family and I missed out on a heck of a lot of things. But we can start a new chapter now.
Just thought I'd share happy news. BTW I have NO desire to look into my biological parents like some adoptees - it was just interesting to know a little more.
