I have 3 adopted brothers. My family is Catholic and my dad had said God told him he would adopt 3 boys. Him and my mom specifically adopted troubled high risk foster children. I didn't really get along with them too much but not in a way were we hated each other. We just didn't mesh. 13 years ago my oldest adoptive brothers biological father who was a drug addict went to speak to our dad and murdered him with his bear hands. We were all extremely heart broken. My mom was hoping they gave his dad the death sentence. But my oldest foster brother said he told his dad that OUR dad had been inappropriate with him. He didn't know his father was gonna kill ours. That is also what his dad said in court and my other adoptive brothers claimed my dad had done something to him. His dad was found guilty but got life instead of the death penalty. My whole family and the Catholic community we were in believed he only said that to keep his dad from getting the death penalty and our dad was dead so he couldn't defend himself. My mom put them back into the foster system but in our state that gives her a child abandonment charge. So the whole situation is that pretty much these boys ruined our lives. My oldest adoptive brother was on Facebook and I just sent him a friend request even though we didn't talk for years. I asked how he was doing. We caught up and I decided I wanted to here his side. I understand my dad isn't here to defend himself but I wanted to here him out. He told me what my dad did and I listened. I recently met his wife and baby. My sister somehow found out and told my mom. They asked how could I do this is that they are my blood. I said I didn't want any drama. We were just catching up. My mom is saying he smeared my dad's name after his murdered ours in cold blood. They're wanting me to choose between them and him and I just didn't want this drama. I'm not saying I think my dad is guilty. Also not saying he's innocent. Jusr wanted to hear him out and reconnect.
