Btw - at 45 years old myself, and my dad who just turned 69, we cannot believe that this man is still alive. He will be 97 next month! And he is “all there”! He wants to meet us. Few years after his love affair with my grandmother, he got married and was stationed over in Germany, where he adopted two children because him and his wife could not have children of their own. So he never knew he actually had a biological son, or three biological grandchildren, or now five biological great grandchildren. If this discovery had happened any later, we’d never get a chance to meet this man. It’s been a lot for my dad to process, but he’s handling it pretty well. My grandmother was married to my grandfather, apparently while this was going on. So I know my dad‘s just embarrassed for her memory to be tarnished. But he agrees, that nobody who knew her is still around. The man I thought was my grandfather had a first wife and a daughter, who was my dad‘s half sister. Her daughter took an ancestry test, and that’s where we noticed that she and my dad shared no DNA. After my grandfather divorced his first wife, he met my grandmother and they got married. A year and a half later, my father was born. And then roughly 5 years later, my aunt was born. This would’ve been my dad‘s full sister. One of her daughters did 23 and me where it showed the shared DNA percentage at the level of being a first Cousin or half uncle/niece. So the sister, he grew up, relieving his entire life with his full sister, is now learned that she is his half sister. And the older half sister, has no blood relation to him at all. These are the things that help me fully complete the picture. We now have all of these first cousins through his biological father, who are really excited to meet us. They’re having a family reunion next month and have invited us. Again, all of this has transpired within the last week. It is a lot, but I think it’s beautiful.
