00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: to figure out if this woman is related in how related.

39
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: How about the fact that she could be a half

40
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: sibling to my dad in his siblings. My grandpa is

41
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: from Cuba, Grandpa Carballo, and he defected from Cuba or

42
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't know the proper term for it, but he

43
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: left right before Fidel Castro got into power. I guess

44
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: there was like a time right before where they knew

45
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: things were going to happen, and like families were trying

46
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: to get like family members out. So he was one

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: of the people that left. And he goes to Miami

48
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: and then he went to Boston College. He became a doctor,

49
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: and he goes to Chicago and and you know, he's

50
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: living this life and he really like left behind this

51
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: life that he had in Cuba. And he married you know,

52
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: my grandma who's Irish, and then they had you know,

53
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: six kids. And what my dad and his siblings found

54
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: out is that he used to be married when he

55
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: was in Cuba. And there is a potential my one uncle,

56
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot to this, but my uncle will he

57
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: lives in Port of Iarta, Mexico. He goes to Cuba often.

58
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: He got a friend like recommendation on Facebook from this

59
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: woman who looks exactly like my aunts. Wow, and her

Speaker 2: an auntie.

63
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: They're trying to figure it out right now. It's not cool.

64
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: It was cool because now we're close with her.

65
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: She lives in la so it's good. She's been there

66
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: all her alive.

67
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: Hey Courtney, Yeah, your mom had a baby when she

68
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: was fifteen.

69
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: Congratulations, sex.

70
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 4: I don't know. It was kind of a bad time

71
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: for her, and she actually got she was sent to

72
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 4: a She was in the seventies, so she got sent

73
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 4: to a a home for unwebbed mothers, which is the

74
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 4: worst thing in the world. And she had the baby

75
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 4: and gave it up for adoption. And when I was

76
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 4: pregnant with my first child, I found out that I

77
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: had a sister.

78
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: You ever meet her?

79
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: I did her name right. I'm not gonna say her

80
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: name because you know, I don't know who's listening. But uh,

81
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: she's actually good family. Now, she's close family and her

82
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: she has six kids and they're all my nieces and nephews,

83
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: and they live out of the state, so we don't

84
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 4: get to see each other often, but we see each

85
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 4: other probably at least once a year.

86
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: Wow, Jealousy's probably the wrong word.

87
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: But was there any sort of negative emotions towards her?

88
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 4: She existed, not towards any uh, not from us, the

89
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 4: you know, the kids that were not unwed, but from

90
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: my mom. She just felt so guilty, and I guess

91
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: she had held it in so long that she just

92
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: she was crying and it was it was like it

93
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 4: was the worst time of her life. But it was

94
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: so good that all three of us kids, because there's

95
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: three of us legitimate, I guess. And and she she

96
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 4: just was relieved that we were all, you know, good

97
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 4: with it. And my father, who actually knew about it

98
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: since day one when they were dating, knew that she

99
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: had already had a child.

100
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: So do you think parents know you know what I mean,

101
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: they hold so much close to that's awesome, you know.

102
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 4: No, I don't think it's my parents, So I think

103
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: it's fair their parents, you know, that generation, they held

104
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 4: everything in they did.

105
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: Courtney, it was awful.

106
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: You're not alone on this, by the way, check this out.

107
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: There's another person who found out that they had a sister.

108
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: And we love you, Courtney, thank you for sharing. Adriana,

109
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: you're the same way.

110
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 5: Yes, very strange.

111
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: How did you find out that you had a sister?

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 5: So, actually, my my sister that I was raised with,

113
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 5: got really deep into genealogy and like just started like

114
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 5: we had like submitted our DNA and all of that,

115
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 5: and she started messaging with this relative who knew this relative,

116
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 5: and then she found us a half sister who actually

117
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 5: has the same name as the sister I was raised with.

118
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: You sane come on, and what is your relationship like

119
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: with this person?

120
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: Is there any type of relationship or no?

121
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 5: No, but not like in a bad way. You know.

122
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 5: I just think we were raised very differently and like

123
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 5: her family. Her family's pretty freaked out about me and

124
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 5: my sister, which is funny because we're lovely people. So no,

125
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 5: but not in a bad way.

126
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Any part of you, guys wish when you find out

127
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: about a secret family, like I wished this potential new

128
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: aunt of mine was rich.

129
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: Right, that's exactly none of them. Again, it's crazy. I

130
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: have an uncle. His name is Elon Musk.

131
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: I had no idea, Mariah Hi, horrible situation to be

132
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: with your mother while she's on her deathbed.

133
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: She had some news to break to you.

134
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 6: She had alluded to the fact that my dad had

135
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 6: a kid that was older than my older brother when

136
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 6: I was probably forty, but she would never say anything

137
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 6: else about it. So I was talking to her as like, mom,

138
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 6: now's the time, just tell me who it is. And

139
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 6: she didn't know the name of the girl, but she

140
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 6: knew the name of the mom, and so I went

141
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 6: and started doing you know, my faith the blue thing,

142
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 6: and found who she is. She definitely has the same

143
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 6: nose and eyes as we do, and the same teeth.

144
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 6: And then I did at the ancestry DNA and found

145
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 6: out that I also have a nephew that I didn't

146
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 6: know about, and which makes sense because my brother was

147
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 6: a man horn find him yet. But when my mom died,

148
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 6: it opened a whole slew of like Pandora's box constantly

149
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 6: for me. Right now, every time ancestry beings, I'm like,

150
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 6: I'm not even looking anymore.

151
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie.

152
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 6: I told the girl, I'm the one that had to

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 6: tell the girl that her dad wasn't her dad. I

154
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 6: was like, so, uh, you're my sister and she is

155
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 6: like no. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're my sister.

156
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 6: My dad and your mom.

157
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: You know she asked her for that. Are you rich? Yeah?

158
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,600
