My brother

Growing up I always knew he was out there, I would often imagine what he was doing or what he looked like. I once even made a profile on a site to look for him (mom wasn't too happy about that one). My mom was 17 when she gave my brother up for adoption. She always said she didn't want to be the only one looking, or be the one to tell him he was adopted. Turns out, he knew all along, and had been looking for her for 9 years! Then the day before mothers day his wife found the one and only adoption profile page my mom had put up. He got ahold of her on mothers day, talk about blowing my sisters and I's mothers days presents out of the water. Eric has a family :) a super awesome wife! A sassy little 2 year old girl, a rambunctious 6 year old boy and a sweet 9 year old girl. Our family grew by 5!
It has been a dream, my mom said earlier and it describes it the best, we all were happy before with life, but now the level of happiness has grown so much. It's so surreal, we have a brother with a name, a face that goes with the name. What's even better is that he fits in perfect with our family with such ease that is so comfortable to talk, laugh and make memories that we missed out on growing up. It's been so fun telling him the stories of our childhod and hearing his. It has only been two weeks since mothers day but it feels like we have known for a lifetime, it feels so natural. I know I'm walking on cloud 9, mom said she has passed cloud 9 and is on cloud 15. 

 Our family is now complete there's not the lingering questions. Which is amazing.
