I am adopted, with one adopted sister, 2 years younger. She and I have always been best friends, even though we live a day's drive away from each other.

I've located my biological family, and have two sisters there. Well one, really.

See, I was the result of an affair my bio mother had while her husband was at sea. At the time, she already had a daughter and a son. She was afraid that I would be treated badly, due to my origins, so she put me up for adoption. A couple of years later, there was an accident and their son was killed. She and her husband believed it was God's punishment for giving me up, so, in an effort to make things right, they adopted another daughter. I've spoken to both on the phone, but the adopted one has no interest in a relationship. The biological sister and I are "friends" on Facebook, although we don't communicate. We simply observe from afar. Bio mother and her husband are both deceased now.
