Hello

My name is Jon and I live in Ireland.I was adopted at birth by my granparents and I found out when I was sixteen that my real mum is my sister but I dont know who my real dad is.I have always felt different and strange and was wondering if there is anybody out there with a similar story.I am 27 years old now and I am thinking about tracing my real dad as the curiosity is immense but am not sure if it will solve anything.

Any advice would be welcome..

No one can answer that question for you, but if i was you i would go for it. I have just begun seriously searching and have got an appointment with a social worker today. By the way my bmum came from waterford but i was adopted in london i think adoption laws are different in the republic is this true or not?

chin up tracy.

Don't loose heart. It would be a good idea if you searched for your family.

How didi it go with the social worker.Dont worry...maybe my post came accross that I am down and out but it is far from that as I would consider myself to be fairly happy.
