Okay so here is the deal, i am originally from Cuba, I arrived in the USA when i was 6 i am 23 now. My mother and my father separated when i was 6months young. Since then my father never cared for either me or my sister who was one at the time of the separation.

I grew up believing that my father had passed away according to my mom's idealism of giving me the best childhood possible and not mentioning anything about my father. When i was 16 years old i went to visit the family i had left behind in cuba, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews etc...Little did i know that i would have the biggest surprise of my life..We went to get some food at a local place in Havana and there was a lady who must of known me since i was a little tiny little thing, when she saw me she asked me "Did you see your father yet" AMAZED as i could be i turned to my aunt and said "Is he alive"?...Well YES he was alive..he lived 3 houses down from my families home. I was there all day and saw him walk by (i was too scared to look at him) we did not exchange words and had no eye contact but i knew that he knew who i was and i was very well aware.

There was talks then and speculations that he was leaving CUBA and coming to Florida. But i didn't follow up because it wasn't my interest at the time and it to be honest was not important to me UNTIL this morning.

Here i am waking up at 7:00 a.m and little did i know i would get an unexpected surprise from my sisters facebook update...It was something along the lines of ""I am shock...I just found out my father came to Florida".. SHOCKED IS RIGHT!!!! well it seems he came a while ago we just were not aware and as far as i know he has made no effort in looking for neither my sister or myself.

APART from all that i have decided i want to know where he is, if he is here and i want to be able to find him. I have grown up with an empty space all these years because he did not want to take the responsibility of racing me or my sister. However, i would really like to have his information for the day i work up the courage to contact him which to me seriously seems pretty soon. I am ready to know his side of the story as hurtful as it may be.

So i come to my YT friends for support and advice, i want to know what i should do. I tried contacting my mom to get details on him but she is resistant and does not want me to search for him. I am 23 now i want to know about my father as much as the next girl/boy would like to know about there half creator!(you know what i mean). All i have to go by is his name...no other detail as my mom does not want to share and i don't know any one else on his side, I don't even know my grandmother on his side.


Any little bit of advice or help would really be appreciated.
