The journey to find my biological family has been nothing short of life-changing. After years of wondering, I’ve finally found my birth mother. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, discoveries, and connections that I’ll forever cherish. However, one chapter has closed, and another has now begun: the search for my birth father.
When I first began my journey to find my birth mother, I discovered that efforts to locate my birth father were being made simultaneously. Unfortunately, due to the limited resources and time we had, those efforts didn’t lead to any concrete results. Now, I’m determined to pick up where we left off and pursue this search with renewed hope.
This search, however, hasn’t been without its challenges. My birth mother has been hesitant about me finding him, which I’ve tried to approach with understanding and patience. I know this process stirs up complex emotions for everyone involved, and I respect her perspective. However, I do believe it’s something I need to pursue and give a try.
If I had given up the first time when I was searching for my birth mother, I wouldn’t have the connections I have today.
In one of our conversations, my birth mother provided me with a lead—the mobile number of a friend of my birth father. It was a glimmer of hope. I called the number but received no answer. I followed up with a text message, but, unfortunately, there was no response. It was a disheartening moment, but I’ve learned throughout this journey that persistence and patience are key.
At one point, it’s my understanding they thought they had found him. However, when they called the number, a lady picked up the phone. She denied knowing anything about someone born in 1995. I can only assume it was his wife answering. This moment was another setback, but I’ve learned that challenges are an inevitable part of the process.
After speaking with someone who successfully found her own birth family, I’ve decided it’s time to commence the second part of this journey. With this in mind, I’ve reached out to Eastern Social Welfare Society (ESWS) to explore the possibility of commencing a formal search for my birth father. I know it’s not a straightforward process, especially since I’ve learned that he has remarried and possibly has three children who may not know about me.
So, here we commence the search.
