Completing the adoption story

After 62 years I have finally discovered the final piece of the jigsaw, my bio father’s identity. This was due to DNA matching and has been a long and protracted journey, he died in 2017.
My dilemma is I have discovered 2 half sisters, the eldest is 5 months older than me and the younger 18 months younger, their mother is still alive and had only been married to ‘our’ father for about a year when I was conceived. My birth mother died in 1959 so there is no one that will really know the true circumstances. Do I attempt to make contact with my half -siblings due to this delicate situation?

sodapop it's the not knowing where you came from and how you came to be that's part of it. I'm very aware that it could be upsetting but I also have a nagging feeling that I want to know!

I can understand that Margrithea but it won't change who you are now and has the potential to cause problems for others. I was adopted too, I contacted my birth mother which did not end well. I have never tried to contact my paternal relatives.
