I wanna thank everybody for the love and positivity!
I feel like I should update y'all on what's going on. A lot of y'all suggested that I contact her and I agreed with y'all. I sent her a Facebook message after I made this post, which was around 2am.
The Facebook message read as follows:
" Hello, are you “Father’s” daughter? The reason I asked is because we may share the same father. I am 22 and my full name is “My name”. I think my mom accidentally misspelled my last name because he wasn’t around at the time that I was born.
About 3 years ago out of the blue, my aunt called me and said that “Father” wanted to give me his phone number. I wrote down his number but I didn’t have any desire to contact him. About a few weeks ago, I had a burning curiosity to learn about my family on “Father” ’s side, so I use the phone number to find his facebook page. When I found his facebook page, I found what looks to be a graduation picture with you and him in it. I thought that you may have been my sister so I did some extra research to find your facebook page.
I found your Facebook page but I was not sure if “Father” told you anything about me which is why I was so hesitant to contact you because I didn’t want to ambush you. My mom use to tell me that I may have a half-sister on my father’s side. I always assumed that she would be a few years older than me but it appears that you’re a few years younger. I know this may be too much to process but I would like for this to stay between us.
I haven’t contacted him and have no desire to. I just want to gather all the information and see where I want to go from there. I would like to get to know any aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins from “Father”s side of the family. I’m sorry about all this, I just really want to know about the other half my family, I hope you understand! If this is too much for you, I sincerely apologize, please disregard this message. I don’t want to cause any problems."
She hasn't responded yet. She doesn't appear to be active on Facebook
Y'all think I approached it the right way?
