What steps do you take to begin looking for your real father who doesn't know you exist?

Answer 1

there is a girl, 18 years old who is looking for her dad who just found out he has an 18 yr old daughter. his name is Gregory potenziani and he lived in Albuquerque new Mexico at the time. i just found out she is looking for him but his family would not give any info. i will. so if you are the one looking for him. email me, my name is Jill potenziani email me at anjillita@AOL.com

AnswerThe first step is to ask your adoptive parents as they knew there was going to be a time when you would want to know who your biological father was. They may know or they may not. If your mother was pregnant with you from your biological father then she should be able to tell you his name, give it to you and let you seek him out. You have a right to know to put some sort of closure to your life or, perhaps strike up a relationship with your biological father. BE WARNED that your biological father will be shocked and he may not welcome you with open arms and may even be suspicious of the fact you are his son.

Secondly you could go to Vital Statistics, Births (that's what we call it in Canada) and find out the father's name on the birth certificate. Again be warned that a mother does not always have to put the father's name down or she could have used someone else's name, but it's a start.

Good luck hon!
