Thank you for all thinking of me. You Rc'ers really are a great lot.
I won't go in to huge detail about our meeting but now I've calmed down a bit I will just say that anyone who is thinking of doing something like this - DO IT!!
But, only do it if you are doing it for the right reasons. I should think it would be very painful for all concerned if you do it for the wrong ones.
Also, take things slowly and make sure everyone concerned is ready for each stage and give everyone (including spouses) the chance to walk away from it if it doesn't feel right. Follow your instincts and be honest with each other at all times.
I am so happy I have found my brother and know we will be together for a long time now. And, yes - I said 'brother' even though it is officially 'half-brother' but that's how we both feel.
Thank you all again so very much. I couldn't have done it without your support
