Father went to Merced High School. Knew my Mother. When found out she was pregnant did not want any ing to do with her and pregnancy.
My adopted father was a long time family friend who liked my mother and said he would marry her. I did not find out I was adapted until I was in elementary school and stumbled upon the appears and started reading one day. My dad did not adopt me until later which means the papers where not filed til later giving my birth father some time to respond. I would like to know medical history especially as I get older and my daughters get older as well. As well, as knowing if I have any half siblings out there or not.
