Catmommy 1 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 11-05-05, 02:44 PM (EST) "Season 1: Susan's Search" I just got off the phone with my best friend of 40+ years, and she says she feels like she's in "The Twilight Zone", because her sister just told her that the man she grew up knowing as her father, was in fact, NOT her biological father!!! She has 3 sisters, all older, who decided not to tell her, because they "didn't think she could handle it"!!! She is waiting for a call-back from her oldest sister, the only one she trusts will fill in some blanks... MOST importantly a NAME!?!?!?! She realizes that now that she is almost 50 yrs. old, herself, he is most likely deceased, but still wants to know who he is/was, and if she has any siblings... Even if they don't want a relationship with her, which she understands, of course is a possibility, she has the right to know!!! As do they!!! These are not children, to be "protected" from anything, but they certainly do have the right to know if they have any siblings... When she told me that all she knew was that he was Mexican, I was reminded of Susan's search for her Latino Father... Can anyone remember how Susan began her search? An agency, or somewhere to start? I know there are alot of them out there... Does anyone know of anyone who went through a similar search, with good results? Some reputable agencies to start with? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks! Catmommy ^..^   Top

EnfanTerrible 1239 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 11-05-05, 04:52 PM (EST) 1. "RE: Season 1: Susan's Search" LAST EDITED ON 11-05-05 AT 04:54 PM (EST) My bratty younger sister figured out that our oldest brother is not my father's son, and she tried to blackmail my mother with the info. (She was 16 then, and she's 43 now.)For my parents it was no big deal, it's just what you did in the 1950's when you wanted to get married and one person already had a kid. You folded him into the new family and he would be theirs forever, with never another word said. My brother has other issues and this one is just not foremost for him. We were all shocked at first, then curious, but we feel like my parents deserve their privacy. The one thing we do know... he was Mexican! So your friend's family may be feeling surprised that she is so rocked by it, because they made peace with it so long ago. I hope they can support her and not brush her off. It's got to be a huge deal for her! I hope she will take advantage of one of the support groups for people making this journey. They can steer her clear of the roadblocks and dead ends that they have already discovered.   Top
