I found my biological father and my brother but unfortunately both don't want contact. A double whammy. I found a first cousin who was "suprised", she contact my father for information but replied to me that she was told "not to interfere". My therapy has been my family tree and a few weeks ago I received my DNA back which confirmed distantly that my biological father is the man I contacted. I love your post as your my feelings are the same and I feel justified in being sad and angry at not being told the truth. I always knew I was an accident but I will never ever be a secret.

I was still reeling from the news then. I would love to see you again and talk about how this whole thing has evolved. kevingladish@gmail.comKevin Gladishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447609279438853074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969075083091409365.post-61329397300594278302017-04-02T08:03:08.246-07:002017-04-02T08:03:08.246-07:00Kevin, great to see you sharing the journey you&#...Kevin, great to see you sharing the journey you're on!

My fiancé is also adopted and has no clue who her real parents are and her adopted mother and family refuse to tell her. She even went as far as to razor blade out the names of her birth parents. Her records are sealed in the state of Virginia. I hope one day she is able to find some peace with this knowledge. Happy New Year my friend!!!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554296932133017895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969075083091409365.post-88702296952898138212015-07-07T08:25:27.884-07:002015-07-07T08:25:27.884-07:00Thank you!

But there is healing in sharing this stuff. I really believe that. One thing we feel often is a sense of not belonging. So thank you for welcoming me.
