My Sister

I knew I was adopted when I turned 16. I had the best childhood ever, and I will never forget what my parents did for me. They were the best. Shortly after my dad had passed, I had a message on one of the sites that do DNA tests. This guy seemed to think I was related to his mum who sadly passed away, aged 41. I turned out his mum had been my sister who was also adopted as a baby. I was so sad I had never gotten to meet her.

After some contact with a lady Matty put me in touch with, I finally tracked down another sister...62 years old, and I finally found a sister. I was so happy. Unfortunately, my mother had passed at 52. I also had a brother who passed two years before I found my family. I have lots of cousins, and most of all, my sister.

Oh, how I relate to this. After 37 years of searching for my biological sister, I finally found her on my birthday in January 2022! To those who are searching, never give up! I honestly thought I would never find her because I only knew her first and middle name and hadn't seen my biological mother in 37 years as well! The last time I seen my little sister, she was 4 and I was 9. We were adopted by different families. We also were not raised together before the adoption. We had only met twice as young children. Actually, she didn't even remember me at first, until we started talking. I had messaged so many wrong people looking for her, only to come to another dead end! I used to watch all these shows of people finding their biological families. It made me so happy for them but sad for me! I honestly thought it would be in impossible and maybe just not meant for us to reunite. I never gave up, and I would have searched until my dying day! We have only been reunited for a short time! Don't give up.

My adoptive parents and my adoptive brother all died, left me behind at age 58. A year later my sister found me and told me I am her long-lost older sister. I gained 2 sisters and 1 brother! A lot of tears, and I meet one of my sisters, Hope! Sadly, my real mother had died a year before they found me. But sisters and brother! Double wow! I still did not find why I was born deaf and everyone else is hearing...interesting.

Our dad was seeing two women at the same time. Daddy married my mom. It being the 50s, my sister was given up for adoption. Just last year (2019) we found each other. I found out about her when I was around 16. I tried finding her but failed. When she was young, she found out she was adopted. She searched for years herself. The end of 2018 she found me. It took almost 63 years, but we found each other. I love her so much. It's taking time to know her, but I love it.

I can relate to this poem if you read it from bottom to top because when I was little my older sister and I used to play with each other all the time. Then suddenly she started being mean to me, pushing me, calling me names, criticizing what I wear and the type of music I listen to. Every day she bullies me. I'm 11 now and she is 16. She'll be 17 in June, and she hasn't changed a lot. From time to time she would act nice, but that doesn't last all day.

Last year my sister passed away. She was my everything. I was 12 when she passed away. She left her baby boy. She meant the world to me, and I miss her. She was always there for me when I needed her.

This poem is very closely related to my sister and me. It feels like we are lived in this poetry. Each and every stanza is related to our feelings. We love this poem and want to read each time whenever we are too far....

I thought this poem was amazing. My sister passed away at 14 in August 2014 . She meant the world to me . I didn't meet her until I was 5 she was a bit older than me. When she passed I couldn't believe it . Still can't . I miss her a lot. I can't wait to meet her again .

I have one sister she is 9 years old and I am 18, there is a 9 year difference between us. We have same mums and different papas. Being an older sister is the best thing in the world. Although we have had a difficult life growing up, constant hearing parents fight and verbal abuse etc. We all stuck together. we grew very strong together. Recently child protected services came in my house and took my baby sister away from me. I'm a wreck with out her. No alerts though she will be coming back in a week though. All in all my sister and the love and relationship we share is priceless.

I have 5 sisters and 3 brothers 9 siblings all together biological. We was all put in foster care from young but my sister was put up for adoption at about 18 months because she was the youngest and never really knew what was going on. The whole time growing up there's not a day that goes by where I don't think of her and wish her the very best in life where ever she is. I love her so much. I miss her everyday now she is 16 years of age. I've been searching for her on the internet I just want to know she is well and I want her to know that I'm here for her if she needs me or wants to know any information about her mum or her other biological siblings.

Disconnected because of an absent father. Two different mothers, but living in the same city approximately 20-30 minutes from one another. And yet, we lost contact. While we were both in contact, over the years with our dad, neither of us could locate the other....until, our father died. Thanks to social media, I was able to find my younger sister. And 5 months after the death of our father, we meet again after not seeing one another for 30+ years. For her, its awkward and strange because she's had a difficult life. For me, I'm overjoyed to have found the sister I've always wanted to know. Hopefully, the time and distance won't keep up from getting to know one another...and our kids too. I'm hopeful, but cautious. I just know that I'm excited and I know that God can heal all pains, wounds, and can bridge the gap between us in a way that nobody else can do for us.

When I was little I was given away just like my two other brothers. I was only one and my brother Owain was two and my sister was seven but sadly we got parted from the second eldest my brother. My sister would sit there and feed me. But as I grew up to be two, two loving people wanted to adopt me from when I was in my mothers stomach but they said that they were to old but then after another year they allowed it but my sister was taken back by my birth mum because she didn't want those loving people Alan and Michelle to adopt her so those people adopted me and my two other brothers being united with my second eldest sibling was in heaven but then after nine years I started seeing my sister Kyrah and now I'm eleven and only just started to see my sister. It has been the happiest time of my life.
But she is still in a foster home with a wonderful foster mum and the best thing is that we can see her and I would like to say thank you to my parent now because my mum now has cancer and she still took us in.

My mother left me with my father when I was one. A year later my father got married again to Les. I grew up thinking Les was my real mother. When I turned 16 I bumped into a woman at the grocery store, and we started talking. She had her daughter with her, and we went to the same school! She was younger by two months, her name is Jane. Jane and I were best friends. A week later my father told me about my life, and everything. When I started talking to Jane again, we came to the conclusion that we were sisters! We've been lost sisters for more than ten years! My sister was my very best friend in the world. Its funny how life works.
Now my sister and I live together. Also, now my mom and my dad are married, after my dad divorced Les. We are now a family again.

August 31, 2012, will always be a day that I will remember for the rest of my life. I am 60 years old and I just found I have six sisters and one brother (biological side) that I have been looking for the last 12 years. I almost gave up looking for them when I decided to give it one more try, and bingo, hit the jackpot through a son of one of my sisters. It seems that we went to the same schools, we know the same people and we lived around the same area, even one of my sister's husbands graduated with me the same school and same year. My sister's mom told them that they had an older sister somewhere. My mom did the same thing, that I had lots of siblings but did not know where. I will meet my sisters in the near future because we live miles apart. GOD always knows when is the right time and place.

I'm adopted and my birth mother had a daughter 6 years before me that I recently found out about last year. I'm 15 and my parents don't want me to have any thing to do with her but I do text her. I think if they kept me from her for this long I should get to meet her in person...

I first met my sister in the fall of 1988, my mom had to give her up for adoption when she was 5 months. I didn't know about her till I was about 13. I always wanted a big sister and now I can not imagine my life without her. She is always there when I need her, even at times that I don't really know I do. She is my best friend!! :))

I was adopted at birth. It was a closed adoption. I had no information regarding my birth family. I am now 35 years old and have just found my birth family by applying for my original birth certificate. I have 8 older siblings....4 sisters and 4 brothers. They have been so accepting of me and I cherish the relationship that I am beginning to have with them. I never understood the importance of having a relationship with your biological siblings until I have been through this experience. I love them dearly and thank you for sharing this poem.

I just met my sister after 47 years last year. We have been best friends since. I love you patsy. We call each other "sister", I have two sisters from my mother, however she grew up without any. I am so proud to have her in my life.

I'm an only child....but when a cousin of mine got married in August 2010 and I met his wife two weeks after they got married (my mom and I were sick on their wedding day so we got to spend time with them two weeks later) and his wife (who is 16 years older than me) and I hit it off instantly. A few months later we became sisters. She's the big sister I ALWAYS wanted and needed. We've had our share of arguments but she'd never give up on me or stop being there for me. We call each other "hermana" which is Spanish for sister. I'm forever thankful that a mutual friend of theirs introduced them to each other and that my cousin proposed to her and that she accepted the proposal. I only get to see her once or twice a year because they live on the west coast...but we email every day and if I really need her then I can send her a text message. The poem definitely matches my relationship with my "hermana".

When I was 16 I found out that my mom abandoned my sister. She was found and adopted by her now wonderful family. I am now 31 and have searched for my sister all these years. I found her this last summer and will get to finally meet her this spring. We have had lots of good conversations and I am excited to finally meet her. I am looking for something to put in a birthday card to her as this will be the first birthday since I found out who she was that I will get to send to my sister. :)

This poem is actually the carbon copy of words from my heart to my sister. When I read this poem, I immediately sent this poem to her. I don't have a real sister but one year ago I started conversation with my cousin sister. Then I realized what a sister's love is all about. I am thankful to god that I have a sister like her. A sisters love is incomparable, it's the jewel of life, never ever loose it.

I love my sister more than anyone in my life......love you sister..:)

I love this poem because it reminds me of me and my sister and how we fight but we can't stay mad at each other for long...sometimes we never argue or we never yell at each other because I love my sister ladonna and I would do anything in the world for her and I would tell her anything, like I would tell her all of my secrets and what I went through and what I go through every day...

as I said before I love my sister to death and I would do anything in the world for her

I love you sister :)

I'm 18 years old and in college. My sister is 4 and in preschool. I grew up as an only child, and never thought anything of it, but once my small fry was born I realized that there was something missing in me. There may be 14 years between us but we're best friends. Some of our cousins try picking on her, let's just say they stop right away whenever she says 'sissy'
My little sister is my life, and I'm so glad to have her. This poem fits us perfectly, we may have waited a long time to find each other, but when we finally ended in the same world together it was the best thing to ever happened to me.

I don't have a sister just like in the poem, I am the only child of my family not until I met a friend who I didn't expect would be my sister.. I call her "kapatid koh" that's the Filipino version of "my Sister" and I am so very blessed in her because she made me feel how to be loved by a sister and how to love one.

I found out that I had a sister when I was 12 yrs old . I never bothered to look for her, I was just a kid didn't know much. On March 2, 2010, at 5:00 pm, I got a call from my younger sister. I found out my sister and I were going to the same school for 3 yrs and had three classes together. We've been through a lot and we are still trying too make our relationship better. I LOVE my sister so much <3 . Reading this poem reminds me how G-d brought us together after all these years.

At the age of 43 I found out I had eight brothers and sisters that I never knew existed. Out of these siblings are three girls they are 35, 30, and 28. I grew up with no sisters. This poem says exactly how I feel about them. It has been 7 months since I found out about them and I've only met two of the siblings so far, but I know God will find a way to bring the rest of us together. Our father has passed and my mother is passed, but now we have each other.

I am 39 yrs old and just recently discovered that I had a sister that I knew nothing about. We are developing a relationship and I am growing to love her more each time we speak. This poem strikes home as I believe that God works in mysterious ways and things happen for a reason. He brought us together in our later years so that we can ease the pain that we each felt while we were growing up with very vindictive and mean mothers.
