My mother had a son before marrying my father - he knew about the child who was adopted at a few months old. Neither I nor my brother were aware of this brother until recently. I asked my 86 year old mother about it and she flew into a rage totally denying it, however before I asked her I traced the birth certificate to confirm the news we had come across while searching for something else for her in old correspondence. My father died many years ago.
I have tried to put this brother - who would be 64 now - out of my mind but I wonder about contacting him as a sibling (which I can do legally through an agency) My mother no longer speaks to me (she was always a difficult woman and not a kind mother). Would an adopted person want to meet a sibling and understand that it wouldn’t be possible to meet his mother? Or is it best left alone?
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
