the strangest thing happened tonight

that is strange, I wonder if they even know you exist... I'd probably try and contact them, but not put too much hope in a warm reception

You have to make up your mind & no one can do that for you. But my advice is if you contact him be prepared for anything & don't be disappointed. But I wish you well what ever you do. I don't know the reason you never met your dad, but my daughter met her dad only twice & he choose to not be in her life. We was married & he walked out on us while I was pregnant & choose not to be there for her & always hided from paying her child support. Every time I found out where he worked he would quit his job. All I have to say for my ex is he missed out on everything & a wonderful daughter. It was his lost & not hers.

It is best to contact them to clear things out. . . By the way, make sure that they are you father's son, not your father's namesake. . .. I mean, there are people who have the same names including middle initials, better check on this first.

If it were me i would want to know them. I would contact them.

You might as well try to contact them. Family reunion is great, and we awaiting your following stories. I found my schoolmates at a classmate website. The internet is making the world smaller, and people closer.

Contact him and tell him. it will help, trust me

That must have been difficult for you... finding out that your father had a whole different family... i wouldn't know what to do myself... but i think i won't contact him immediately... i would have to think things through... and prepare myself if in case he response back or not... but definitely... i willnot let it go...

oh my god,it's too strange.i think u must contact him.and you try to know what is the reason behind it.you have right to know about this and do your mother knows bout this.go to your dad.and be strong and best of good wishes to you.

I never knew my father either, and I have done searches on his name. Unfortunatly his name is so common it would be impossible to find him out of all the thousands of other men with his name. Even if I could find him, or one of his other children which I'm sure he has, I don't know what I would do. So far as I know, my father doesn't even know I exist... and would he even remember my mother? Probably not. I know his children wouldn't. So I'd have a hard time proving I'm related to them without blood tests. Then there's the question of do I want to know them? I know nothing about them. They might be good people... or they could be horrible people. I don't know. Do I want to go through the hassle of proving I'm related to them just to find out they're horrible people that I never wanted to know in the first place? I can't say forsure. I'd probably have to spend a lot of time thinking about it, and get some opinions from other people whom I trust. Does this man know he's related to you? Does he know his father had another child? If he does know of you, then I suppose it can't hurt to add him. The worst that can happen is he'll reject you and not want to speak with you. Can you handle that?

that is very weird my dad had pasted away about 7 years ago after about 1 year after he passed away i got a phone call saying that this women was his sister and that she would like to meet me so we set up a meeting we meet and they said that they were searching for over 41 years for him.we never spoke after that it would of been nice if they would of gave me a phone #so i could have keep ted in touch with them
