so recently I found out about my biological family.
I found out that my biological mom had 5 kids including me. she passed away in april of 2015. I have come across some information lately about a relative of my moms but I am not 100 percent sure on what I would like to do. I would like to meet this relative so I can ask them some question about my biological mom but also because I would like to know about any family health issues. I am worried if I meet this relative I will find out information I may not want to know but at the same time im worried if I don't meet them I will regret it down the road Anyone have advice or experience in this topic I would greatly appreciate your feedback on what you would do in this situation. |

This is a hard one in honesty I think you need to listen to your gut as corny as that may sound.
Personally I'd like to find out as much as possible. Also If you don't you may regret it later on. Sorry for what you're going through hope you figure it out. |

| In my honest opinion, I think you'd should contact. It couldn't hurt and you might regret never getting to know this person. It might be a great experience. |

I wouldn't want to know. If I'm happy with the life I have with my current "mom and dad" well then that's good enough for me.
That's my opinion. |

CAMOFLAZH wrote I wouldn't want to know. If I'm happy with the life I have with my current "mom and dad" well then that's good enough for me. That's actually a really good way of looking at it bud this is why everyone's opinions should be listened too. Whatever you decide Olivia I wish you all the best. |

| I would go and get to know thia person man.. In the long run I think you'll regret it.. It will be nice to know some things you never did.. But at the same time some things might hurt but best of just getting on with life and moving forward from it.. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! |

Olivia- wrote so recently I found out about my biological family. I was taken from my family at a young age by DHHS , ages 10-17 I was in group homes , crisis units , foster homes etc. I wasn't allowed any form of contact with my family until I was 14 , my counselor allowed me to write letters to my mom. For about 2 years we did this and she started taking whatever steps she needed to in the governments eye to get custody of me back. about a week from moving back in with my family , she died. I knew my mom when I was younger , but I felt as though getting to know my own mother was stolen from me. I remembered some of her friends from when I was a kid and over the years ive sourced them all down , found my childhood friends etc. In a way its helped me get to know about her in ways I couldn't have as a child. My advice to you ... do what you want. Its your destiny , if you want to know .... at least you have a breadcrumb to chase , some don't have that <3 |
