20 & 21 - something I wonder about/proud of - Comments

That's really amazing! I don't have contact with my biological parents. It will be interesting to see if, in the future, your cousins remember being told, or if it's like they always did.

My cousins are adopted. My aunt and uncle got set up with this woman who gave them my cousin, Isabella, when she was born. A few years later, the same woman called them again because she was pregnant (by a different man) and my aunt and uncle then got Nick! So the two are biologically half-siblings. They have contact with their biological mother and half-sister. Isabella is 11 now, she understands. Nick is four, maybe five, so not quite yet but my aunt tells him he was born of her heart, not of her tummy.
