Member Since: May 2008 Posts: 6 Send Message	I have recently discovered a half brother and would like to contact him. Can anyone give me some TIPS on approaching this as I am unsure if he is aware that he has a half sister.

	A professional intermediary could approach the other side of the family for you. They follow careful guidelines. A social worker should be able to put you in touch with the agency which acts as go-between. Rose

	Hi Maureen, You could try writing a letter. I have been in your situation,and I was one of the lucky ones,my baby brother as I call him,is so lovely,so funny, and the amazing thing is he looks more like me,than my other 2 full brothers. My tip is expect nothing,you wont be disappointed then. I wish you luck. :-D <3 Just to say,my new brother,didnt have a clue that he had a sister,and 2 other brothers. He was totally unaware of us.
