He tried a few times without success but mostly stopped trying. He never talked about it to me or my siblings before he passed but now my sister did that genetic test on ancestry.com and is looking for his birth family. Me and my brother feel like it's something he should have done and we shouldn't go looking for them.

I don't know who my biological father is and the only reason I would bother try looking them up is for health reasons. Otherwise the man who raised me is, in my eyes, my dad. --- I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was, and now what I'm with isn't it.

dfiggins_runner 06/12/20 12:36:47 PM #9:	I wouldn't, but I am a firm believer in who raises you is your family regardless if you are biologically related. I was adopted but was old enough to know my biological family. Because of the conditions that lead to my adoption were due to neglect I never really wanted to reach back out to them. I don't know the conditions that lead to your Dad's adoption, but it could be one were his biological family isn't looking/ready for that bombshell to be dropped on them. --- Hello traveler!!! <cite>dfiggins_runner posted [p:940562545] in What would...

TheFalseDeity 06/13/20 6:30:23 PM #15:	It isnt something to even consider to me. The idea of trying to find my biological dad...why? He would be no different than any other random stranger to me. I can understand wanting your own kids vs adopting or your partner having kids from an ex but outside of that blood means nothing at all to me.
