As an adoptee myself, I've been through the awkwardness of contacting birth parents and half siblings. My mother had two boys much later in life, and my father two boys and a girl. So that's five half-siblings in addition to my five adoptive siblings.
But *sixteen* half-siblings? Your birth parents have been *busy*.
Wow that is a lot of siblings. I suggest some tea or other warm beverage that you like and cuddling Porkchop to help you process/cope.
Oh my! I think this might call for tacos and snuggles with Ollie.
Wow!
