What's this?

I had an unknown half-cousin enter our lives the same way


My aunt got pregnant at 16 back in an era when respectable young ladies didn't do that. So the family sent her off to live with distant relatives for a few months until the baby was born, then put up for adoption.

Fast forward sixty-ish years and that baby is at an age where doctor's like to ask about your family medical history. So she did one of the DNA tests and got a hit on her biological father, who was able to point her to my side of the family.

It's a bit of a long and winding tale, but at this point almost everyone in the family has met and adores her.
