I am still in SHOCK!!!(UPDATED WITH PICTURES!!)
LONG story SHORT.....
My mom has 5 kids......
She gave up 4 of them. I am the youngest. I was raised as an only child. I discovered when I was 13 that I had 3 older brothers and an older sister. Im the baby. hehehe lol since then I have been looking for them. I will be 26 next month. 13 VERY LONG years.
In 2000 I found one of my brothers, thanks to a girl that was in love with him at a school dance. I somehow knew his adopted last name, same first name. I asked her for the number I explained my situation and well she told me the number and I looked it up in the phone book when I got home....called...called again. called again everytime i called he was at work. Finally I got through. He didnt believe me at first until I said a few names and then he knew. we met, he wasnt goin to come but his girlfriend at the time MADE him...lol
About a year later I found another brother.......we knew we still had a brother and sister to find. years and years of searching, nothing but DEAD ENDS!!
We kind of started to believe we would NEVER find them.
until this morning. my dad called me. my uncle had went for an interview in another city. The lady that interviewed him recognized his last name, same as mine and my moms. Asked him at the end of the interview about his last name. He said yes he the person she was talking about, my mom. She adopted my brother and sister. She took his phone number was going to talk to them and then call me.....noon came NOTHING so I looked up the number and called her! I bawled....of happyness of course!! She took my number and still no call by 5. ok. Starting to feel as though this is ALOT of information to swallow. We all need sometime for it to sink in. 9:00pm my phone rings. I dont recognize the number so immediately I answer it. Its my sister!! so here it is 2:30am. I got off the phone with her at 2:00!! LOL (shes currently on the phone with OUR mom!! LOL wow. my sister!!
We havent talked to our brother yet. I havent even called my 2 brothers that I do know to tell them becuase its 230 AM! HA! I will call them on my way to work at 7am!!
UPDATE!! We went and seen our brother and sister today...ALL DAY!! Our oldest brother couldnt make it today....

Do you all have the same mom and dad? how old were they when your mom put them up for adoption?
You are not mad at her? Do they all know each other?
I would be very upset if I found out my mom put my siblings up for adoption but kept me.Its bad enough I have a half sister I met for the first time in 93 and a half brother I have never met by my dad, If I found out my mother had more children that I didnt know about Id really be upset.
Imet my dad at 18, and about 12 other siblings and more come out every few years. Yea its been interesting. I dont talk to many of them lots of issues but at least now I know who some of them are so they dont date my kids. lol
Are you kidding me? She JUST found her siblings that she's NEVER met. I sure as shit wouldn't be wasting my time being pissed at my mom for making that kind of decision. I'd be using my time for getting to know my brothers and sisters.

My mother walked out on me and my dad when I was 6 mth old, I was almost 15 when I met her and im 40 now and STILL have alot or resentment towards her.
The man she married had a affair with another woman which resalted in a child that MY mom is raising and this boy is her world and when I see her do things for this boy she NEVER did for me(like go to his school plays and his concerts) it hurts me very much because SHE chose to not be with me and raise me HER child but faught like hell to raise a son that was not even hers.
So NO im not kidding.
Sorry if my questions bother you but I was just wondering.
