Duckwater 0 #1 February 5, 2005 My birth mother, spurred by my curiosity, found my birth father. They havent talked in 35 years. He was receptive to her and told her to have me call. I just called him and he seems cool as hell. He told his son about me too, which had to be an interesting conversation. I told him "I think we owe each other a beer"...So...after I go to Seattle to visit Mom and Sis, I go to Hollywood to visit Father and half brother. He says he loves to entertain and sounds like we have a lot in common and will definetly get along. I can't believe how many people are affected by adoption. There is a co-worker that just adopted a boy. I told him this story and he started crying. So have most girls that hear the story.. I am flipped out beyond words.... I told my friend Mandy, "Im not a bastard anymore!!!" She said "I don't care how many Dads you have, you will always be a bastard" I don't know why God is blessing me so much either.....I don't feel like I deserve it.

RoadRash 0 #3 February 5, 2005 Congratulations...My mother was adopted in 1952 from a teenager in Mississippi and I was hoping to find her when I went down there a month ago, with no luck......But I have faith that I will find my grandparents and that if they should want to find us, they will do so... Once again...That is wonderful news and I am so very happy for you!!!~R+R...~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Shotgun 1 #4 February 5, 2005 I agree that you will always be a bastard... So.... since you will be in Hollywood, are you gonna drop by and make out with me while you are out here? Just kidding... That's really cool that you are getting to meet your birth parents... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites chaoskitty 0 #5 February 5, 2005 Thats awesome! I hope everything goes well and you end up being good friends! I cant imagine how my life would be different without my dad. God blessed our family for sure. And is sounds like you are blessed as well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Michele 1 #6 February 5, 2005 Mike, as an adopted child, I know exactly what you're going through. And I've got to say, well done for having the courage to search and find. I searched and found, but it wasn't a "happy ending" per se...but that's all right, too...questions were answered, and that was a huge relief. My big brother searched and found after I had, and his had a "happy ending," as have many other people I know who've done the search. If you have any questions that I might be able to answer, don't hesitate to shoot them my way. And congratulations for having the temerity to search...it's never an easy decision, and it's always a rough adventure....but it does fill that weirdly empty place.

I didn't search...my birth mother found me.. I don't think I ever would have searched because: 1. I have great parents that adopted me 2. i wouldn't want to disrupt peoples lives if they didn't know about me (like possible spouses and children of birth parents) This situation is all good. We are all single (coincidence?) and at a point in our lives where this is neat. -- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites soulshine 0 #8 February 5, 2005 Wow, that is such an amazing story! Makes me believe again in "happily ever after". Thank you for sharing your story of hope and happiness. You truly are one lucky man!
