I never knew my bio. Father (his choice) after divorce he disappeared, when I was 6 months old. My Mon remarried 2 years later.
I was curious I guess probably felt abandoned finally went looking in my late 30s.
Short story, after I found him I wish I hadn’t. I never really appreciated my step dad and his family until then. I made sure they knew I did after that.
Good for you.I hope my children feel the same way about me when that time comes.
