I also found an older brother on Ancestry DNA (my biological father was married 3 times over the course of many years). I met my oldest sister for the very first time last August and met my uncle later that month. I've also been in contact with another sister and my oldest brother (he lives a few hours away, but is currently in AK). My younger brother, unfortunately, passed away last month of terminal cancer. We never met and I'm not sure if he even knew I existed.
This is my sister and I when I went to visit her in February:

That's amazing, Sheri!!!
I wouldn't be afraid of what I'd find, but I'm not sure I care enough. My bio dad (I call him "the donor") might have kids out there, but I don't feel any connection to him, so I don't know that I'd feel any connection to them.
