ooh no! - are you excited? scared? curious? did you know you had a half brother?

why were you on genes reunited? or doesn't it work like that

are you interested in meeting him?

why don't you just correspond by letter for a while until you feel comfortable with talking to him then if you want to you can meet him

don't feel pressured into it

what's the story anyway

hi clarissa

I made contact with my dad through GR earlier this year

Started off by emailing and then chatting on msn. I haven't met him yet.

I would say take it slowly and see how you feel. You don't have to be in contact with him if you don't want to.

GR is a good site for finding out about family. I was doing my family tree and he came forward wanting to get in touch so i sent him a reply but no answer for a few days
