Hello,
I've gotten lots of good advise and suggestion from previous posts. So I thought I'd give this one a shot. This is a really crazy situation. As you all know who have read previous post, I've had problems with my parents over the years. When I walked away from being a part of there lives they told many family members that I didn't want anything to do with them either. And told me that my other family members didn't want me calling them. Over the years I've been slowly re-uniting with family members that really did want to talk to me, as well as wanting to talk to them myself. I recently received a call from a dear cousin who informed me that my dad isn't really my dad. I had heard this before and blew it off. I've heard all kinds of wild stories, that I was adopted by my mom and dad... And so on... Stories that my Dad isn't my dad... or my mom not my mom... Well about 6 months ago I wrote a letter to the public records to see who was on my original birth certificate. They stated that my mother and father that raised me where the ones listed. But in any case, my cousin told me that my mom had an affair. That the whole family has tried to hide it from myself and many other family memebers. To the point that when I was born, my dad had my mom put him on the birth certificate and never breath another word about her affair. And my cousin said this is where all the stories started from. Cause no one knew what to tell me, and no one knew what story my "parents" were telling me. In any case, I really want to know IF I do have a bio dad that doesn't know about me. Or maybe knows, but went along with the secret?? Is there any way to find out?? My cousin said he'd help me as much as possible. He said he had wondered if it was my dad's brother, or another close friend of the family? I don't talk to either of these potential people... So I'm not sure how or IF I could get to the bottom of this. Any suggestions??
