Hi @Heavenhome; I think in the circumstances of the thread, the theme of fellowship in John's First Epistle would make good reading, right?That is a difficult situation that you are in because your wife is right and the ladies you spoke to, did indeed do the honourable thing.
Is there a pastor, mentor that you can discuss this with?
Being Christian, you would only discuss this with another Christian or you would be in the danger of being led astray.
But first of all of course, it is to God you must go and lay it all before Him.Everything, all thoughts.
Pray that your wife be sufficient for you and that you would focus on the many blessings you have been given, rather than what you feel you have missed out on.
The other possibility for your longing for a sister is, maybe you do have one. Have you discussed this with your parents?
I hope and will pray you would find the peace you obviously long for.
God bless you.

I wish there was a pastor or mentor I could discuss this with. My pastor is my father in law and is not an option. There are not other mentors I would trust with this type of information.
I am adopted, so if I have a sister - it is from my biological past which unfortunately, without a DNA test, has no further information to rely on.
Thank you for the thoughts.
Hello there, well that answers a lot of things.
There is a show in the UK called Long Lost Families and many on it have expressed the same longings you have.
Since you are adopted, I am guessing your parents are not forthcoming with any information?( you would have to reassure them of why you want to find things out), the only thing I can suggest is maybe searching births/adoptions where you were born.
Starting with your birth certificate.
In my former post I said to only talk to a Christian, but if it is a case of searching for adoption information this would not be necessary and quite often you may feel more comfortable discussing this with someone you don't know.
If you do some research on line you will probably find some information as to how to go about it.
Perhaps you don't want to do this as there can be many outcomes in this sort of situation, some good, some bad.
In any case you must come to the position that you can fully accept that your loving Heavenly Father and His children are all your true family and heaven your true home.
God bless you and praying for you.
Feeling lonely as of late. But God is good. He is our one comfort !
Perhaps the lonely feelings make us grow more fonder to be with Jesus.
Been feeling lonely the past few days , yet at the same time wanting to be alone
Perhaps the lonely feelings make us grow more fonder to be with Jesus.
I personally think I'm better off alone til I find a Godly Christian guy/girl, or a person of substance to be my friend.
I was introverted growing up, then switched schools and started to become more extroverted.
Now that I don't have friends anymore I see it more as a blessing than a curse.
I'm better off without those friendships. Their worldliness and small-talk influenced me into becoming a person I never wanted to be.
The birds of the same feather flock together.
God Bless you
