        To see the difference between time from her mother and her view on a child out of “wedlock” is so stark. Her finding her brothers and sisters and everyone’s so welcoming is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing. 💜💜💜

        Still hoping I get featured on #Quarantinestories @humansofny my birthday passed during this time and I’ve always wanted to bump into you in a park, but social distancing is a thing lol. 🤞🏾💜💜 I’ve emailed enough times to feel embarrassed but I’m not. 😁

        Intriguing! All the 3 women on red have striking facial resemblance. Family is everything! I'm so happy for them. ❤️💕

        What a beautiful story to read in times like these. Lovely picture as well. An elder friend of mine, who traced her ancestry for several years, will be happy to read this story. Sharing with her. Thank you!

        Beautiful story. I have to wonder what influenced those siblings to be so open-hearted toward their half-sister? Many of us are treated with suspicion and destain when we've wanted to connect. I'm truly happy for her.
