My kind of adoption--birthmother was a girl who went away, high school sweethearts, the valedictorian and the 4 sport All State all star, both over 18, but "society" intervened and I disappeared in secrecy--kind of faded out by the time sperm doners emerged on the scene.

Always good to have more people to love, and more people to love you.

My maternal half brother lived across the street from the high school I worked at as a TA in college and student taught at, two blocks from my best friend's aunt/cousins. His buddy from grad school was in my buddy from high school's wedding.

I'd say coincidence, but there are too many of these stories for mere coincidence.
