Obtaining Medical History
I am interested in obtaining my medical history from my birthfather's side of the family. The thing is, I have only been able to find the address of his sister, who lives by herself in the same small town they grew up in. I do have a general idea of where he is located, but it would take some extra digging to find out where he is. My question is, do you think it would be unfair for me to send the request to her? I don't want to place her in a position where she might be dragged into the middle of something that's not recieved well. However, I am only requesting medical info, not any other contact, so maybe it wouldn't be as much of an issue? What do you all think?

Does your bdad's sister know about you? If not, then if I were in your situation I'd try to track down bdad. If she does know about you, then it might not hurt to get in touch with her.

Yes, she does know of me, so there is no risk of a secret being revealed.

If she knows about you, I see no harm in asking. A warning though, this is coming from the girl that just called her bdad's mother's house to see if I could find some contact info. When his sister answered, I said I was looking for Dean, and she was like.....who is this..and i tried to be coy and be like someone from his past...but then I just spilled the beans!!! She didn't know about me, but she was happy about me. That is not the norm, but I figured..what do I have to lose? It all worked out! I think each adoptee has to choose what is best for them, and what will work for them!!

I say go for it. Even if she doesn't have the medical information you are seeking, she may be able to put you closer to finding your bdad. good Luck!!

So, if she knows about you, why don't you ask her to relay a message to your bdad to contact you so that you can get your info from him directly. Both my bparents had passed away before I found them and I'd give anything to have the chance to meet them! I would urge you to pursue contact before it's too late, like it was for me.

If she knows about you, and you are absolutely sure of this, go for it. She might be unwilling, but it's worth a try.
