Hello.
Are you so-and-so?
Yes.
Was your mother so-and-so?
Yes.
Hi. I'm your sister!

Very interesting to hear from someone my mother had to give up for adoption, and to meet her. Although she would not be everyone's cup of tea, I like her a lot. She is like my mother in so many ways. Very similar interests that are very not mainstream. Very different in other significant ways.
A big issue is my concern for her feelings about having been given up and my overcompensating to try to make her feel comfortable or better about it somehow.
Has anyone here had a similar experience? I'd read about it and said wow, that could be strange. Now I know how it feels. It is world altering, in a way. A good way, in my case (and hers, I think).
