      My ex said he wasn't interested in finding his birth mother either. But, when I told him his adoptive parents had asked me if I thought he would want the information they had (that he didn't know about) about his birth mother or they were going to burn it.. I said he wasn't interested. All of a sudden he was interested in it so they kept it and gave it to him. He never followed up with it. I think he was just afraid he be "abandoned" again. His abandonment issues affected him his whole life.

    I'm so happy for her. I can relate. I never knew anything about my dad's family. He wasn't in my life. I took a DNA Ancestry test and found a boat load of relatives. They didn't know my dad had any children.

    • @anndeecosita3586
      @anndeecosita3586 Před rokem +3

      I have a similar story with my dad’s dad except no DNA test. My dad and his mom were always evasive when I asked about my grandfather growing up. They weren’t married and he was quite a bit older, had been in the military. She was in high school and my grandmother said he took advantage of her naïveté. I knew my grandfather and his parents names. I found an address online for my great grandparents from property records. Since they were all deceased I didn’t know if anyone from the family still lived there. I drove to town and knocked on the door. The family still owns the home and they welcomed me in. The rest is history. I found out my grandfather didn’t die until I was in college but never reached out to his only granddaughter. One of my dad’s first cousins said her dad who was my grandfather’s brother also neglected his kids.
