It was such an exciting, nerve wrecking, fascinating weekend.
In case you haven't heard already...
I met my biological grandparents for the first time in my life Friday!!!
Along with one of my biological aunts, Chris :)

After the initial shock wore off, it felt sooooo natural.
It was like I have known them my entire life. Crazy huh?

I would sit there in amazement just starring at my "new" family.
People who LOOK like my mom.
Sally
Oh Sally. Eccentric. Cool. Funny. Compassionate.
And absolutely full of love. For everyone. Her family. My mom.
Michael
He reminds me so so much of my Grandpa Kellerman.
Very quiet. But listen close when he does say something, it is always witty & clever.
It is obvious that he adores his family. Good man. Really really good man :)
Chris
HALIRIOUS!!!! Social Worker by day. Comdeian by night.
Everything that comes out of her mouth is right on. Love it!
She is a lot like Mom. I was a little envious of their instant sisterly bond.

This wasn't just a "Oh that's what I look like, It was nice meeting you" weekend,
this was a door to building a lifelong relationship with some absolutely wonderful people
that I am proud to call My Family :)

I can't wait to meet the rest of the family!!
Apparently...
My Uncle Mich & Uncle John are absolute riots!!
Jodie & Heather are as sweet as can be.
My Aunt Erin is expecting a baby boy/girl in the next couple weeks.
And Toby is the cutest thing ever!

I can't believe how much your mom & her sisters look alike! thats crazy!!
I'm curious, (maybe I missed a blog post somewhere) but how long has your mom known she was adopted.. and how did you find her biological family??
Thanks for sharing! :)
Probably when you fell off the blog block for awhile :P
She has known her whole life that she was adopted. They were looking for her for almost 40 years & just found her a couple months ago!! Look back..I think it was October/November??
