I’m 17 soon and for my whole life I’ve never known anything about my real dad until this weekend. I got the courage to ask one of my mum’s old friends if she knew anything that could help me. She couldn’t remember his first name but told me his last name is Bush, was married whilst he was seeing my mum, told me where he used to live and a sister’s name, she also told me i look alot like him. She said that around when my mum found out she was pregnant she told people that my father was a man she met one night in nottingham.

I am a 24 year old woman and I had been searching for my father for years. He left my mother before I was born and all she could give me was his name, his age, and a guess of where he might be living. I have looked on and off on the internet for the past 6 years and I was able to find his aol screenname. (That’s when I found out where he was living) I emailed him and when he realized it was me, he didn’t email me back and quickly deleted his screen name. I had done a search on one of those “free” websites and without paying a dime, it comes up with potential matches for the searched name. They include the age and the phone number. Well since I knew his age and where he lived, I pretty much knew which one he was but I didn’t have the guts to call him. (This is probably harder for other people because his last name is Maximovich, Not too common of a name.) But anyway, I then searched court documents in the city he was living in through the clerk of courts website. There I got information on his divorces, his property ownership, and also his address. I finally knew exactly where he was, but still could not bring myself to write or call him. About a year later, I just joined facebook and decided to search his name. After going through 100’s of names I came across what I thought might be his daughter. Her last name was the same and she was living where I knew him to live. I then waited about a week and finally made contact with her. I told her who I thought she was and asked her father’s name. Since then, we have become pretty close, talking weekly. She has confronted our father, and now he is showing interest in meeting me and is asking about me frequently. I am meeting my biological grandmother this weekend, and hopefully my sister this summer. As for my dad, he can wait until I’m ready to meet him. I am excited to meet my newfound family and have absolutely no regrets!! If you get the chance to do this! Do it!!

Bettina asks,
“I want to find my father. How can you do this with such little info? At 29 how can I really find my father. I can't force anyone to get a DNA test, and at my age I doubt that it can be court ordered. I just don't know where to begin :(”
