I sent her a FB message that went like this:
I'm trying to put together some genealogical information about Sheila Dianne Harmon & the name Shari Logan came up in my search. You happen to be from the same area in Alabama that she is located but I cannot find her.
Do you happen to know a Sheila Dianne Harmon (Logan) and if so, is there any way that you could help me get in touch with her? I would really appreciate it.
Thank you so much!
I got this in response:
That's my mother and she passed away in July 7th 2001 .who are you .your not the child my mom gave up 4 adoption are you
Then seconds later:
R u my sister
And so began the strange journey into the story of my birth mother's life. She told her family about me, but she made up a few details along the way about the story of why she gave me away. According to my sister my mother told her that she had been 17 when she gave me away & it was because she had been in prison at Tutwiler Prison for Women (state prison in Alabama) during the late 60s for robbery and she had been pregnant so that's why she gave me up. BUT, she was 23 & had never been in prison (I contacted the Alabama Dept of Corrections, I needed answers Dammit)...
So, where does that leave us? Right now, it leaves me in a permanent state of confusion because I look more like my step-sister than I do my half sister, so I'm thinking that the man that is my half sister's father is my father too... My step-sister that was born only 6 months before me is probably my half sister & my half sister is actually my whole sister...
Anyone else need a diagram?
Hey, but at least they're receptive, right? HA!!
