When Janice Hoy became pregnant as a teenager in 1987, she had a difficult choice: raise the child herself or to place him for adoption. But she never anticipated the impact her decision would have 32 years later
"That was certainly a bit of a shock," Kevin recalled. "There was a very strong chance [that] somewhere, somehow, I had likely passed them on a street corner, or we had played hockey in the same arena.
"The first time I saw him," said Janice, "I knew I loved him, and I knew right away he was a part of me. We talked and we talked, and I couldn't take my eyes off of him. ""Their build, their faces. The hair. Even the way that they carried the same type of volume around in public that I do. That was a beautiful day."The following evening, Kevin was invited to visit the family at their home. The first encounter between Kevin and Blake had everyone on tenterhooks.
"It was shocking. I was looking at my long lost brother. He looked like my dad. He spoke like my dad. He acted like my dad. And I looked at Kevin and his horrible facial hair and how short he was, and I was like, this is my dad 2.0. It just gave me this warm, fuzzy feeling in my belly, like, he belongs. This is a last parting gift from my dad to me."For Janice and her sons, finding Kevin has been life-giving, a salve for the loss they suffered when Earl died.

Ask Lisi: I want to help my sister so I met with her boyfriend. Now I'm falling in loveDear Lisi: My sister is a pothead and she thinks I don’t know. It’s totally ridiculous. She’s stoned all the time, and if she’s not stoned, she’s about to get stoned. She also thinks her boyfriend doesn’t know but he and I both know everything. I’ve known for years and assumed he knew because they live together. He thought I was unaware, so didn’t share anything with me. Then one day we were all meeting at a restaurant for dinner. My sister was late so her boyfriend and I sat and had a drink. When she arrived, it was clear that she was high and instinctually, he and I looked at each other. That’s when we both realized that we both knew. We got together later that week to discuss my sister and her habit. It’s now been six months and we have corroborated on all the things we both know when we know them. We’re ready to intervene. The problem is, though I really want to help my sister, I’m starting to fall in love with her boyfriend. I feel as though I’m falling down a rabbit hole of problems that I won’t be able to crawl out of. I need your advice. Sisterly love
