The Answers to All of Your Questions
So I decided to write on here about my meeting with my biological father so that you all can have the answers to the many questions you are wondering. We met Sunday afternoon at a restaurant in southcenter mall. It was a very surreal moment. My mother walked me in so that I wouldn't have to face the initial (and most awkward) first seconds alone. It was like a dream, I walked out from the bathroom and there he was. I took a moment to catch my breath and study every physical feature of his face. He did most of the talking to start with because I was, for the lack of a better word, flabbergasted. He brought a ton of pictures of his very large family and gave me a little bit of history of each one of them. Turns out a large part of me is Italian. I loved hearing about each member of his family. There is a lot of talent in my blood, ranging from music to writing. I was the most interested in hearing about him and his immediate family. He has two daughters, Maria (13) and Tess(15). He has been married for 19 years to a lovely sounding woman named Linda. I look a lot like his kids. I will post photos when I have access to a scanner. All in all, the meeting was a success. I don't know what this all means for us but I know that I look forward to meeting his wife and kids. I feel so complete. He is a wonderful man, both smart and funny. I am glad that he was so understanding and open to all of this. Thank you to all of my family that have supported me, and my decision to look for him. I couldn't have done this alone. If you have any more questions just email me. He is going to be sending me a family "kit" full of pictures and information to share with you all.
