I agree to ask for a proper DNA test to confirm his findings. Hope it worked out well

I can see this is a while ago now and I hope it went well. It would be hard for him too, not knowing his father so you can probably fill him in on so much.

Others have basically given you the same advice that I could give you.
I wouldn’t want a stranger coming to my house, so I’d organise to meet at a cafe or restaurant or something, but do your own research first to see if this person is legit.
Good luck with it all.

I have been in a similar situation to yours and as I’m quite a shy person we exchanged letters for a while first, then we worked up towards meeting in a public place for a coffee. (This was pre Facebook and we mostly used email.) It is likely you both have questions but dont know where to start. Good luck!

I would just chat through Facebook & via phone first. I wouldn’t add them on your facebook friends list or tell them where you live etc yet. Be careful. They may be a relative but it doesn’t always mean they have the best intentions. Hope it all turns out for the best

Take it slowly, thru facebook I’d a good place to start. Maybe a few phone convos when you feel a bit more confident. You could always have a few ppl round when you first meet him to help settle your nerved

I personally wouldn’t put them on my facebook friends list, not just yet. Maybe exchange through messenger or emails to start with. When, and if, you feel comfortable progress from there. One step at a time.

Think the mums here have given you some very sound advice that I couldn’t add to. Do hope all works out well for you.

I think you should take it slowly & if you are anxious take someone you are close to with you for reassurance. You should meet somewhere on neutral ground & hopefully you’ll be comfortable deciding if you should keep in contact. Good Luck.

I would be asking for a proper DNA test to confirm that he is indeed your half brother and take it slowly. Good luck!

Always good to talk on the phone first getting as much information of who is who and where they fit. You could meet somewhere neutral a Cafe or Pub/Club somewhere where if you want to excuse yourself at any time you can. I personally would not invite them to my house first as getting to know someone can be a better experience out in public as awkward moments can be distracted when in a public area. You are all adults and if this doesn’t feel right to you you have the right to decline a face to face meeting. Take your time.

Maybe you could try and retrace the roots to see if what he is saying is legit?
I would be wary as well as there are so many scammers out there, you just never know.

I can imagine you’re a bit anxious about this. Starting off slowly and see what comes from it sounds wise to me. I would meet somewhere neutral to begin with, maybe go for a coffee/tea/drink somewhere and see if you feel any connection than decide if this is a contact you want to establish

Cant help you with advice but I hope you will find a good solution …sending lots of love
