I come here at least once a week, tell my story, then get embarrassed and don't hit "add comment"
But I came to G2G today to ask how to help a very dear friend. He's always known he was adopted, his parents both recently passed away, they were such wonderful people.
Then out of the blue, his wife also died months after losing her Mom. Just so much sadness for a really good man, who is a friend of over 30 years. He is interested for the first time to find biological family, even if it's just to have a more full medical history for his son, who is five. Is there someone who I can put him in touch with here? He has a tree at Ancestry and I've encouraged him to do the DNA test, and upload it there and here... but we both (One of my grandparents is not "by blood", and it turns out the missing biological grandparent has an entry here. So I've hesitated to upload *my* DNA test before possibly writing and introducing myself) - we both are very hesitant about "crashing into" our biological - into people's lives. But I do know how important it is to have medical information, I'm only missing 1/4 of my medical history, but he doesn't have any.
Help is appreciated, and I think this is a great thing, glad to see discussion. One of my parents was adopted by one of their parents, and I never for a second felt anything but loved and part of that family.
