This doesn't involve therapy, but it involves my biological father (whom I've never met). A few years ago I finally found out his name from an older cousin of mine. I became very curious about him (afterall he was my sperm donor). I searched for his name in phonebooks (both on-line and off) but he was unlisted(probably so that I couldn't contact him). Finally, I came across a site where you could pay something like $10 to do a public record search (I searched utility bills). I found his name and address and have driven by his house numerous times. I don't have the courage to actually stop by his house even though I would like to speak with him. I'm 23 now and will be graduating college in May and will get married and begin having children soon, so I would like to know if there are any serious genetic illnesses that I should be aware of. When I was born I had pneumonia and was life flighted to another hospital where I remained very sick for 3 weeks. My father came to visit me once and then never came back again. So for that I dislike him, he's an irresponsible person that doesn't deserve my love. He did me a favor though by leaving. My mom married a guy that adopted me and has treated me as his own (including sending me to a private college that he can hardly afford). Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I'd really appreciate any input. Thanks
