MY FATHER AND HIS MISTRISS HAD A BABY BOY BETWEEN 1950 AND 1952. I AM PRETTY SURE I KNOW WHO HE IS AND HE IS HERE IN OUR HOME TOWN. HE KNOWS HE WAS ADOPTED BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF HE IS LOOKING FOR HIS BIRTH PARENTS. HE HAS TWO SIBLINGS BECAUSE MY FATHER MARRIED HIS MISTRESS AFTER DIVORCING MY MOTHER. I AM THE OLDEST AND I REMEMBER SOME THINGS THAT HAPPENED BEFORE MY PARENTS WERE DIVORCED. I AM CLOSE TO MY HALF SIBLINGS FROM THAT MARRIAGE, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW ABOUT "CHUCK". I HAVE SEEN HIM AND HE REALLY FAVORS MY DADDY'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY. I PICKED HIM OUT OF A CROWD OF ABOUT 100 PEOPLE. I EVEN ASKED DADDY IF THAT WAS MY HALF BROTHER AND HE JUST LOOKED AT ME AND DID NOT ANSWER. I KNOW IT IS UNUSAL FOR ADOPTED CHILDREN TO BE IN THE SAME TOWN. BUT THIS WAS IN THE 1950'S AND HE WAS BORN OUT OF TOWN AND ADOPTED BY A PROMINENT PHYSICIAN HERE. MY DADDY AND THE DOCTOR HAD A LOT OF MUTUAL RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER. THE DOCTOR KNEW MY DADDY CAME FROM A VERY INTELLIGENT FAMILY.DO YOU THINK I SHOULD PERSUE THIS OR AT LEAST TELL MY SIBLINGS ABOUT THEIR BROTHER?

Brenda,
I would suggest posting your message in the Adoptee/Bfamily Search forum. There will be more people reviewing that forum that might have info for you in your search.
You can find the forum here...[url]http://www.adopting.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6[/url]

I checked out the link and I just wanted to let you know that not all of them work. Someone needs to go through them all and edit out the ones that don't work. Just a head's up...
