My mom was adopted at birth and she has never known her biological parents or anything but a name on a birth certificate. Until three days ago. A man doing his geneology came across a baby that he knew nothing about from his mother and her first husband. So he did some research and found my uncle's phone number. So my uncle gave my mom a call and told her the news. She called the man and these are the pictures he sent. So here are my biological grandparents and it's amazing to see some similarities. My mom also found out she has an older sister, who is pictured with her mother in the little photo(which looks a lot like my mom did as a baby. You can also see where my girls get their baby pudge). And then she has 6 half brothers and sisters. Crazy. My mom said it is all sureal. All of the parents have passed away, but how neat to have siblings and to finally have some health history. I'm so glad that my mom was adopted though because I wouldn't trade my grandparents, aunts and uncles, or cousins for anyone. And now we can get to know some more.

That is SO neat! I can see similarities! I bet it's been an emotional ride for you dear mom!
Neat story!!
WOW! What a phone call!! I'm glad she was able to get connected with her biological family-although I'm sure it was completely surreal!!
oh my gosh!!! Your mom has talked to me a bit about being adopted and I think it's absolutely amazing that after all these years she can have a clearer picture of her biological history! GENEALOGY! More family, what could be better!!!!
That is absolutely awesome. How fantastic!
