| I could SCREAM!! Trying to make a long story somewhat short. When I was a baby my paternal grandmother adopted me. Both my birth parents were druggies/drunks and it was the best thing. My granddad actually had to pay off my birthmom a couple thousand so she would sign the adoption papers. My birthdad was in my life a bit longer than my birthmom. I've known them both growing up, but they never really made an effort to be a part of my life. My grandma (who I consider to be my mom) never kept me from them. Anyway, my birthdad's brother (James) was over here the other day. He ask if we had heard from John *my birthdad*. Of course we hadn't. John and James had several fallings out when I was younger.. but James is gettng older (45) and recently had a son and I think it bothers him that John has nothing to do w/ the family. He ask if I had anyway to get ahold of him... which I sorta do but not really. My birthdad had two other kids- Tabi (who my birthdads sister adopted) and I see her all the time. She's 16 and I love her to pieces and I'm so glad she is around. Then there is Johnathan who is 13? or 14?. John apparently got his crap together when Johnathan was born and got custody of him. We met johnathan once when he was about 4. Well I managed to find him on myspace and sent him a msg and ask him to show it to his dad. It gave a way to contact me and Johns brother. I just wanted to let my birthdad know that I was graduating college and that he made the right decision to sign the papers.. there is no doubt in my mind that I would have never achieved this much had I not been given up.. and that his brother was trying to reach him. Johnathan messaged back and was like "my bday is May 8th" OMG.. that freaking fantastic, but seriously could he just show his dad the msg???? I've probably confused y'all. Heck, I confuse myself when I talk about my family.. we've had so many interfamily adoptions it gets really confusing!

| possibly! I just really think the kid is a little "slow". I sent him a msg before to relay to John and he never did. He wont' even send me his email or phone #!

| Ugh that is aggravating! Good luck! Sounds like you're doing pretty darn good with him out of your life so maybe his brother can figure it out himself.

| Yea, its all confusing. Honestly I think John did the best he knew how. it just wasn't much. When mom was sick with cancer my sophomore year of college, I managed to find him and he sent me enough money to pay my car payment and apartment payment for one month when things got tight. He's always done the best he knew how... but that usually wasn't much. I think everyone in the family would like to hear from john and just know he's okay. I know my little sister has been having alot of questions. I try to answer them for her the best I can and assure her she is MUCH better off than she would have been otherwise, but I stll think it would help her if she could talk/met him and see for herself.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Hopefully he will show his dad. Maybe he doesn't want his Dad to see his MySpace page. Congratulations on your graduation you should be extra proud of your accomplishments.
