It Often Happens

Shawn and Melissa

Many Tuesdays, I am short on time and that is true today. Also, something that often happens is that a parent admits that in their younger days, a child was given up for adoption. So today, I offer you a LINK>the day I met my long-lost brother to a happy reunion story that I read in The Guardian.

Melissa begins by sharing – she was 18 when her father revealed he had given up a son for adoption. He and his ex-partner had a baby in Canada and the child had been adopted.

It is always easy to smile at the thought that we don’t have to wait until we are in heaven to meet a sibling we lost and never got the chance to know when we were children. Second chances for genetic family relationships happen all the time.
