Regardless of your half sister & half brothers only BG>sharing half of their genes with you, they are truly YOUR SISTER and YOUR BG>BROTHERS and they are a part of YOUR family. And they love YOU. Well, I only found out they were half three years ago so our relationship hasn't changed at all. We have just spent too much time as whole sisters and brothers to let this change things. I have used the terms half, birth and step to clarify who I'm talking about in here. Otherwise, they are my sister and brothers and dad. BG>If your birth father doesn't come around it will be his loss. It really BG>will. It's difficult to think of our fathers not accepting us or BG>acknowledging that we exist. But, truly, was he your father? Did he love BG>you like the father that raised you? If you saw my message about the phone call, you will see that Boris passed away about a year ago. He did not refuse the letter, another family member did. He had no chance to be a father to me or love me like a father, because he was never told of me, like I was never told of him. Neither of us had a choice in this matter to be together. BG>I mean no ill intentions towards your search, Sharon. I am just angry for BG>you. I don't understand how, in this day and age --- it's just 3 years from BG>the year 2000! --- how can people be so closed-minded and cold hearted? I understand what you are saying. Like I said, he is no longer alive. His niece who called me has agreed to look into this further to determine if Boris was really my birthfather and will talk later about me meeting her and the rest of the family if he is. She was very nice and understanding of the whole situation. I thank her for that much. The picture that I have is on the way to her as we speak. I will keep everyone updated. :-) BG>Anyway, registered mail would be the way to go vs. certified.

You might want to get advice from people who do BG>this sort of thing --- like from reunion services, etc. These are no longer needed. :-) BG>By the way, how old is your birthfather? And is he married? Have you BG>actually been to his town to see him? My aunt thought he was college age, but his niece said he would have be 83 this month. Yes, he was married and his wife is also dead. I did take a trip to the town and saw his house, but I had no intentions of meeting him just then. I just wanted to see how he lived and find out some other information, which I did. I didn't send the first letter until after I visited. I think everything will clear up now, especially whether he is or is not my birthfather. -*- OLX 2.1 TD Your E-Mail has been returned due to insufficient voltae. -*- Opus-CBCS 1.7x via O_QWKer 1.7 * Origin: (Scouter's Haven) (1:129/186.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 162 ADOPTEES Ref: E1D00004 Date: 01/08/97 From: SHARON COYNE Time: 07:21am \/To: LINDA ALLARD (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: Holiday LA>SC> I thought of that from the beginning and sometimes wish I ould LA>SC> have done it.
