Several months ago I was on facebook and came across my cousin on my birth father’s side. I have not seen my birth father in over 40 years. I have been considering connecting with him for a few years now but have been too chicken. I was adopted by the wonderful man my mother married when I was 5, so I consider him my true father, but yea, I have always been curious about where I came from.
I “friended” my cousin, and she accepted telling me it was great to hear from me. Last week, I noticed my birth father’s name on her page. I asked my mom what she thought about me connecting with him. She said she thought it would be fine and that he would probably be glad to hear from me. She has always said he isn’t a bad guy. They were just young, stupid kids in high school when I came along.
He has accepted my request. We’ll see what happens…
