Help on how to reconnect with sister after 2 and half years.?

[Lauren]

I can't even being to tell you how much I miss my big sister. Last I heard she moved to California with her boyfriend. I want to find her and get in contact with her. I've been trying for awhile now but it's hard to when you are just 16 and get no help. I have no money and neither does my mom. I just want some tips and ideas on how I can get my sister back.

I know this is pretty simple but try Facebook. Search for her on FB and go on from there. When you've established contact you'll find a way to reconnect if the both of you want to. I mean, your sisters, that bond is very strong, there are only a few things that can break it.

First do you know where she is. If not do a computer search. email or tex is easy so give that a try. May be later by phone. Do not make it heavy or hard easy.

Does your mother have an address or phone number for your sister? If not, you can try looking on the internet phone books for cities in California where she might be and see if she is listed in the phone book. Try "friending" her on Facebook and see if she's got an account. If she's been gone for 2 1/2 years now, she's probably not angry with you. Whatever caused her to run away from home with her boyfriend is probably all old news now and I bet she'd be glad to hear from you. My brother left home at a young age and got in trouble with the law. He cut contact with us and after about eight years I saw my mother getting so distressed over the situation that I started looking for him. And this was in the days before computers and internet. I wrote to the police in some cities where I thought he might be, and I said that he might have been in trouble with the police there and if they knew him would they please give him a message that his sister was trying to find him. A few days later my phone rang and it was my brother. He had been in trouble with police in one of the cities - they got my letter and went to him and said I was looking for him. He had been in jail for a while but was out now, he had a girlfriend and they had a one year old daughter that none of us knew about. All of the old issues that made him leave home were forgotten and forgiven by that time. He rejoined contact with our family and has been "back" for 29 years now. It is worth the work you might have to do to find your sister - you will be glad you did it. Look for phone numbers, Facebook or MySpace accounts, talk to her old friends and see if anybody has heard from her, or if they knew what city she went to, talk to her boyfriend's parents - maybe they still keep in touch with their son. Maybe your sister is still with this boyfriend and maybe his parents have a phone number or address for them. None of these things will cost you money.
