- NEW!
The woman's a few years older, travels in some of the same social circles, and is often mistaken for my mom (even by my sister once). She's known to be adopted as an infant by an older, childless couple. The adoptive father was in the same fraternity as my mom's father way back when. Both my mom and this woman attended the same boarding school a few years apart. None of this was known until recently, but through old letters we've recently learned that Grandpa considered himself to be a bit of a ladies' man before he married my grandmother. My mom's so curious and intrigued because this other woman resembles my grandfather even more than she does. Mom and this woman cross paths a couple of times a year, at most, and they're not getting any younger. She'd love to have a sibling (and niece & nephew), but is reluctant and confused about what she should do, if anything. Anyone who might know anything about the past would be deceased now, and we don't even know how the adoption was handled or what the woman was told about her birth parents.

You're reading My mom's 77, an only child, and suspects for many good reasons an acquaintance may be her half-sister. How should she approach the matter?
