Long Lost Family

[LifeisaGarden]

So tonight I learned I have another cousin. I just got done talking to him, we talked for 3 hours.

My uncle (moms brother) was somewhat of a playa. My uncle died in Feb 1985 at the age of 28 and he had a son that was born July 1985 that not many knew about (including me) until now. He wanted to contact his fathers family and after years of searching he finally found us.

I'm really excited about it and I hope to be able to form some kind of relationship with him.

Good luck.

I've got a couple family members I'll likely never meet. My Dad fathered a child that was given up for adoption before he met my mom. One of my uncles actually had three different women pregnant at one time. He married one of them. The others - and their kids - I never met, and probably never will.

was his named Antoine Fisher?

one of my fav movies, btw..

that's great that you got the chance to talk- hopefully he will be introduced to everyone soon.

he needs money

Very Cool! good luck

My dad found out he had another sister about 15 years ago. He's dad apparently was a player.

he needs money

I guess we'll see about that. He says he's in the army & stationed in Hawaii & he works on planes. I don't lend money to anyone though, including family. Its easier that way.

I know my uncle has another daughter who I've never known. But it's her mother never wanted anything to do with us because my Aunts were (are) such bitches to her. I would at least like to meet her sometime.

Basically, the whole family knows about it now. I talked to one of my aunts last night about it and she seemed excited but then got angry & wondered why his mom waited 25 years to contact us. I learned from his mom that she tried to tell us but she received a lot of rejection from my aunts, which is believable to me since I know how they are.

I know I have siblings and other cousins out there who I've never met. Maybe I will someday.

I think I have the most dysfunctional family on the planet sometimes.

1985, huh...

Have u seen a picture? Is he hot?

[LifeisaGarden]

yes and eww no he's my cousin. lol

[boo7382]

yes and eww no he's my cousin. lol

haha I didn't mean for you. You can say he's attractive if he is your cousin! Just can't bang him....:hand:

Maybe I should ask it this way, will you be meeting him and then posting the pics on FB?

[LifeisaGarden]

I don't think he's that attractive. I don't think he's ugly either. Average at best. But he's married so...

A few years ago we met a long lost cousin. Apparently my super irresponsible Aunt had given her up for adoption and somehow hid the pregnancy so nobody knew.

Poor girl has my family's genetics but was raised in NYC as a jew.

Oy vey!

[LifeisaGarden]

Wow, Z that's crazy.

I have nieces and nephews throughout the pacific. My brother was in the Navy, early 80s. Horndog him is.

Good luck.

Sounds like my kind of guy....
