[h=5]I have been searching for my Bio-Dad for the last 10 years or so. I only found out at 18 that my Dad (Sam) was not my biological father but has been an awesome dad for my entire life. I have been searching online and even hired a private detective to help me find my Biological Dad or family without much fortune...until this week...
I was searching for my bio-dads name on facebook when I came across a young lady's facebook page and she had a picture of her "Uncle Vern"...I dunno how many people out there are named Vernon McEwen but I thought that there was a good chance that this young lady would be a relative. So, I e-mailed her and sent a facebook message and prayed about it.
The next morning (Tuesday of this week) I get an e-mail from the young lady telling me that she is indeed my cousin and that she will forward my information to my bio-dad (Vern). No less that 3 hours later Vern is calling my cell phone (which I unfortunately missed) and he e-mailed me. By last night we had talked for several hours and now I am getting to know my family through facebook and eventually in the flesh. I now know I have 3 Uncles and an Aunt and a ton of cousins not more than 15 min from where I live! I also found out I have 3 siblings that are excited to get to know me!
My Mom and Dad do not yet know that I have found Vern and contacted him. I am trying to think of the best way to break the information to my parents in a loving and gentle way where they understand that they are still my family and that I am not going anywhere neither am I understating their importance in my life by contacting vern....so what do you guys think?[/h]
