Since James' adoption we have been trying to get contact information for his two older brothers (who were adopted...each by a separate family...who we knew had contact with each other). It wasn't until Sam's adoption worker got the ball rolling that anything became of it though. I am so grateful to her for that!
Just within the past couple days we have began an email communication with the two families. Seeing the pictures of James' and Daniel's siblings is amazing! There is such a resemblance between them. Each of the families is spread out a little but definitely close enough to set up visits when we feel ready for that. They already meet together and consider one another extended family. All of their boys call each other brother. They did say it was up to us how soon we wanted to meet in person and what we wanted our boys referred to by.
Anyway...this is all so very new, but I feel like it is a wonderful connection that will allow James and Daniel to know their older brothers and develop a relationship with them. We will have to see how it all works out.
