So much to tell you guys about myself but I gotta share this: I am going to meet my biological father for the first time in two weeks. I was adopted at birth (closed Florida adoption) in 1970 and found my biological parents last year through AncestryDNA (yep, that shit works). I grew up in NYC with wonderful adopted parents and have no regrets about that. I had a good life with them. They are both deceased. My adopted father, Constantino, worked for Pan American Airlines for 42 years and through that, I saw the world...first class. But, but, but, but....I always wondered where I came from. Anyway....
Very excited....a little scared.
My bio dad was 19 when I was conceived and he was draft card #1 to Vietnam. Bio mom's Dad made her give me up for adoption while Dad was deployed in 'Nam.
Fast forward 49 years and here we are. I'm about to go meet my biological father for the first time and I'm sharing this here because HERE is awesome. I was born in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and that's where I'll be spending this Christmas. With my biological father.
If anyone out there has a similar experience, I'd love to hear about it.
After 'Nam, Dad became a fireman and general contractor. He's still a fire inspector down in Ft. Lauderdale and has been married to the same wonderful woman for 45 years.
He'll be 70 next year and I'll be 50.
Miracles happen.....miracles ARE happening....that's the thing.
The Universe is full of surprises. Keep your foot on the gas and anything can happen.
So, that's my introduction here. That's me.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!! Feel free to contact me about anything. Anytime.

That's pretty awesome; you must be pumped.
I do, however, implore you to go into this experience with an open mind. I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but this might not go exactly as you imagined and you might not find exactly what you're looking for.
I'm not sure what kind of communication you've had leading up to this, but I wish you both the best and I hope you have an awesome time meeting your father.

Thanks, Newbie! My mind is as open as they come. Probably more open than most. Just look at what I do for a living. I've been speaking with him for a while now and I'm a pretty good judge of people. Before ReliableSpores.com I was a corporate headhunter for over 20 years and can read a person like a book over the phone.
But, you're right....you never know. Things look good though.
Thanks a ton for your well wishes!!!
