Thank you for your input. I'm preparing myself for any kind of reaction from him, so if he wants nothing to do with me I am ready to accept and respect whatever he wants. My mom's way of dealing with it is to pretend it never happened. I think it's too painful for her to face, so I don't really talk to her about it, and if I meet him and she doesn't want to, that's between him and her. But as for my sisters and I, we can't imagine going our whole lives and never meeting our brother, or at least doing everything we can to make the effort. Ultimately he would have to want to meet us too. So we hope he wants too. Of course I think it would be incredible if him and I hit it off and he became a role model to me and I became like a little brother to him - but realistically I don't expect anything like that to happen. Realistically I would be so happy to have what you described; to just meet him and even if it ends up with us meeting one day and never seeing each other again, at least we can close that chapter of our lives and not wonder who our brother is forever.
