        Your story sounds like mine. I’m a product of an affair too and just recently on Ancestry, I found my 4 half sisters. As soon as it is safe to travel again, I hope to meet them. So grateful my experience has been a very positive one as well.

        Wow, have a very similar story though never met father and not in regular touch with half brother. Having said that, this story on a base level is probably not that unusual as these DNA databases are more commonly showing us.
