A couple of decades ago, I was bullied by family members to place my child up for adoption. I decided 10 years ago, not to seek him out, but did place a release of records in his adoption folder. Out of the blue, I received a call on my answering machine from my child's father after no contact since the papers were signed. While checking on info before calling him back, I came across my biological son's web site. There is absolutely no question that this is my son, now grown, based not only on the facts on his web page, but also his photo. He looks like me.
I know that male adoptees tend not to seek out their birthparents, so I'm not sure what, if anything, I should do. I am satisfied that he had a good life. I have no desire to interfere in his life, but on the other hand, I'd like him to know that he wasn't just abandoned. If you are a male adoptee, what would be your thoughts on this? He is only an email away, yet I don't want to let the genie out of the bottle.
