I was adopted by my aunt when I was about 2-3 b/c my biological mom was a drug addict. I've never known my biological father.....my 'uncle' has always been a father to me, since before he ever even married my mom (aunt). I have always considered them to be my parents and have always considered their kids to be my brothers and sisters. My gram owns a little restaurant in a pretty close-knit neighborhood in Chicago, which is also where i live. I've always known that my 'dad' lives over here, but I've never really investigated anything before (i.e. who he is and where he lives, although I know his name). Well, apparently my 'dad' has been coming into the restaurant expressing interest in seeing me. I also just found out now that I have a cousin who is my age who lives a few blocks away that was at the bar with my gram and he said "Hey you're (name) from (restaurant)! My uncle had a kid with your daughter" and they started talking.(my gram is very young at heart and in age, she is only 62 and still parties a little!!).
Anyway, I was just given his phone number and found out he also lives a few blocks from me and wants me to meet my 'sisters' who are 16 and 17. Why, after 25 years, does he care now? I'm not hurt or anything, b/c things turned out really good for me, but I'm confused. I want to call, b/c I am curious to meet these people. We've probably all passed each other on the street and in stores a million times.
Anyone have any advice about what to do or say??![]()
