re: Doubt this has happened to a TDer before.

Wow. As an adoptee myself, all I can say that I think the decision to seek the biological family should come from child that was given up for adoption.

Your wife’s situation is heartbreaking to say the least, and I absolutely feel sorry for her. That being said, I think your inclination to let sleeping dogs lie is correct, despite how painful it may be.

Hubba bubba..if you would really like to talk about this I'll give you my email. I'm adopted. I can feel your heartache here. I'm 34 now. I've never met my real dad. But he's never reached out to me and it's all I've ever wanted. So if you would like to talk I'd be more than happy.

I too am adopted and I did find out very early as my adoptive parents felt I should know....I was adopted in 1954.......I do wish that I knew my genetic information and what I was susceptible to ve some medical problems I may have avoided.My adoptive parents never steered me one way or another and they are/were my parents. If my birth parents had reached out they and I would have been overjoyed. Now that both my adoptive parents have passed I may indeed look for my birth parents or family. If they don't want to meet or establish a relationship that's fine. I too am available if you or your wife would like to talk. fishingfloridaradio@gmail.com Be Blessed and Happy New Year
