I don't know my family. I  do not  have  any siblings.  I am very close to my adopted family. I don't currently work.
I have a wife and  six children.  I own a prius. I want to buy a van. Our family is close. We try to include our children in everything. I work for an adoption law firm. It is a local firm.
I made contact with my real family. Wow, how did that go?  And how did you find them? I have done a lot of research in the past few weeks and finally found one of their contacts which connected me with them. I wish I had close family but maybe after some time I will Did they seem receptive to you?  And which family members did you track down--mother, father?  And no matter what, your adoptive family IS your family. I guess that is true but I would also like to get close with my biological parents. I met my mother and she seems really cool, we talked for hours That's a great start...give it time.  Are you looking for work or just taking some time off?  We might have an opening at my firm for people with various skills. I am taking some time off, last year has been a nightmare for me. However, I would be interested in that position at your firm. Thank you very much I'm sorry last year has been a nightmare.  I hope things are much better this year.  You can email me your resume and I'll forward it to our HR Dept.  Meant to ask--how did your mom and dad feel about your contacting your biological parents? I will, just need to update it and I am sending it. Hmm to be fair, I still haven't told them, I am afraid how they might react. I don't want to lose them so I am a mess now. How old are your kids? You won't lose them.  They may be upset/ disappointed at first but I'm sure they will ultimately understand.  My kids are 15, 12, 10, 8, 7 and 5.  No wonder we need a van! I hope so, and thank you for kind words. Woah that is a lot of kids, I admire you for balancing law job and taking care of 6 kids I couldn't do it without my wife who is a wonderful mother.  My oldest is also a great help but we don't take advantage of her.  I don't believe in making kids take responsibility for their younger siblings in terms of parenting.  They need to be kids, too.
