Yesterday I got an email from a lady on ancestry site that we were a 100% match. I rarely ever get in their and look at new relatives. Sure enough it shows 100% and says it is either
grandchild/grandparent - impossible we are 5 years apart
aunt/uncle niece/ nephew - again impossible because she has no biological siblings and my brother would have been 9 when she was born
the other option is 1/2 sibling
She was put up for adoption in Texas at Edna Gladney home in Ft. Worth, 2 hours from where we lived. She didn’t show up as a match for my mom or any of her family. Which leads me to believe one of two theories. My dad was 29 and had a fling with a 17 year old. Or my dads sister gave a baby up and she is actually my first cousin. I don’t know how any of this works, but if we are sisters I want to know and obviously she does since she doesn’t have any blood family to her knowledge. Her adopted parents are both deceased and she has very little information. Anyone that can give me insight as to my theories and what our next move should be (DNA sibling testing) would be much appreciated. If I posted in the wrong forum I apologize.
ETA: our match is 1930
