Should I do it?

Hi There, Recently I had some extra work come my way, it was just a normal day. I finished my shift and started my journey home (bare in mind it wasn't my regular place of employment, just extra work on the side) and so I noticed I recognised the area, the roads and surroundings. So instead of following my sat-nav home, I followed my sense of direction from previous memories of the area. In doing so I came across my brothers home. After all the years I had been since I had last seen or heard from him, there it was. Unsure what to do, I went home. But I haven't stopped thinking about the situation that I was in just a few days ago. I didn't think it was fair to just knock on the door and be like 'oh how are you etc'. I'm currently on the quest of finding out about my siblings (this is the only one I have ever met and had contact with) but I know there are more out there, and that is all I currently know. I would like to hear all your comments or what you would do in the situation? I'm at the point in my life where, good or bad results I have to find out the truth about my life, my family and why it all happened as currently I am at the point where I cannot function or proceed with anything as my mind is distraught with fear and sadness and all other emotions about have started the path to finding out those things. Please provide me with your feedback on this post. Thank you for your time and responses. Kind Regards

hi, no answers or experiences for you,, but you should have support if you are going to do this, there was/is an organisation called Norcap (I think) that help with family tracing. Do not know your story but it appears that you have a very great need to find out more, so would suggest that you have professional support for you. good luck.

Hi, I believe that every local authority has to provide post adoption services to everyone involved in adoption (you don't specifically mention adoption in your post, but since you are on this site I am assuming that you were adopted?). So you might like to contact your local authority and see what they can do to help. Also the Post Adoption Centre in London (PAC) offers services for older adoptees. Best of luck.

Hi. Yes I have (adoptee and adopter). All very professional. They arranged to meet me and we went through my adoption file with me and offered to make contact with BF as an intermediary if required, which they recommend. No big thing for me, I knew most of it anyway as i have great parents. Please PM if you need more info. G
