I have a similar story. A little over a year ago, my mom was contacted on Facebook by somebody claiming to be her sister. After seeing a copy of the birth certificate and some pictures, we knew it was true. It turns out that my grandma apparently had a daughter a year before having my mother that nobody in the family knew anything about and gave her up for adoption at birth. Although they have yet to meet in person since this new sister lives halfway across the country, they talk to each other several times a week now and pretty much everybody in my family knows about her now except my grandma. Apparently this other daughter has attempted to contact my grandma on multiple occasions through various means and was told to go away in not so polite of words. So we just keep our mouths shut around her so she still thinks she is taking the secret to the grave. She is the ultra conservative Christian fundie type so we believe that is probably why she doesn't want the secret coming out because it would hurt her reputation (she REALLY cares about what others think of her). Either way, it is kind of cool to know that I have an aunt that nobody ever knew about, even if we have to tip-toe around my grandma because of it.

Yeah, it sucks that my grandma is like that but I think my aunt is better off not having her in her life anyway. My grandma is not a very nice person and if it is true that the good die young, she will live forever.
