Welcome PaulCo!

Hello, Paul, and welcome.
My sympathies for the loss of your mother. I feel for your struggles before her death, and the heartache both then and now.
Did you know that you were adopted before you discovered the papers after your mother's passing?
Have you attempted contact with your biological relatives yet?
I sincerely hope that now that you know the truth, this new family unit will accept you and that you may have a family again. This will probably be a very stressful, sensitive encounter for you with contact of your newfound family. I pray that it will work out in your favor. Acceptance is the key. If, God forbid, you should not be accepted by the biological family, suggest you let it go. In time, one or more of the members may make contact again with you. Your siblings may not know you existed. It may be a shock for them, too. I am sure you will find, even if accepted, there will be issues within the new family unit. No family is perfect that I have ever known of. At best, they are functionally dysfunctional, such as mine. Love overrides many flaws and shortcomings. Pray that you find much peace and happiness.
Good Luck and Best Wishes!
