Can someone listen to this? It's kind of long, but I promise it's interesting!?

I am of mixed race. My mother was white, and my father is black. My mother was disowned from her family because my siblings and I are mixed. They were taken from my mother when they were young. No one really knew of me and I lived with my mother until I was about 7. She died of a brain aneurysm and I was put in foster care. At this time, I did not know my father or any of his family. I knew of my one of my mother's sisters. She and her husband were going to adopt me, but upon receiving the news that I was half black, they stopped all communication with me. The area in which I lived in was more than predominately white, and I extremely stood out. I was going to be diagnosed with cerebral palsy (which was false) and put with a white family and literally waste away until my father's brother found me and adopted me and my siblings. He and his family were wronged by white people in their time. Adjusting to their life was a lot different than what I was already used to. I now am 16; I was adopted when I was 10. I find nothing wrong with race. One person is the same as the next to me. My real question is, what should I do, now that I have gotten contact with my mother's sister (another sister)? I have e-mailed her about certain things, like asking her about my family and who is related to who. Whenever I ask these questions, however, she either negates or leaves these questions out completely. I REALLY want to meet my family. When I was a child, I was depressed because I knew no one. It is also harder having somewhat radicals on both sides of the family. Could you give me your opinion on ANY of this? It could include mixed race children too :P. Thank you. I just need help.
