So, I'm meeting with my "biological father" tomorrow evening, and I'm a little nervous because I'm not sure what to say to him. I wonder how I'm going to be able to find him in the restaurant...hopefully it won't be too hard, but I've never met him before and I have no idea what he looks like, really. Thankfully Jake is coming along with me, so I won't be doing this alone, and that's comforting...but it'll still be awkward.
More than anything, I just want to know why he chose now to decide to meet me. I'm sure there have been plenty of opportunities before now (I mean, I've been over 18 for 2 years now), but for some reason he waited until this year, this summer, and I really would like to know why. Waiting until now isn't, in my opinion, going to make this any easier or harder on either of us, but it would be nice to know his reasons for his decision.
Because I've never known him, it hasn't really been hard on me not having him in my life. And I've got a great Dad, so it's not like I've been missing a "father figure" or anything. This man is responsible for half of my genetic code and I don't even know what he looks like. I can guess that he looks a little like me, but that doesn't really help at all. I'm going to be meeting with a complete stranger who happens to be biologically related to me...how do I address him?
