When I was born my mother thought that her parting was more important than me so she gave me to her mother. That is who raised my all of my life and I had a great life. Now I am starting to get medical problems and there is nothing on my mothers side. I have asked her about my dad all the time and she won't tell my anything. All I know is his name and where he might be at. She says it was a one night stand and he didn't want anything to do with me. She even went on to say that he didn't think that I was his at all. So now I am going to be 23 in December and I still have not met him. If anyone has any advice on what I can do please let me know asap.
Thank you,
Kathleen Greek

@katiegreek,
If you know his name, state and approximate age, try www.zabasearch.com. If his last name is Smith, you are hosed, but if it is something less common that might work for you. Your real problem is that if you find him, he may deny knowing your mom and then you will never be sure if it is him. You could probably pay someone to find him for you using more advanced searches if you want to spend a couple hundred dollars. You could also try sites like classmates.com if this is someone your mother met in high school. This works well if you know the school and approximate graduation date.

@katiegreek,
Is it the medical reasons, why you want to meet him? Or other reasons?

@Cycloptichorn,
Its actually both because I found out some stuff at my doctor and they need to know what is on my dads side and I have no idea. Also I would just like to meet him, see what he looks like and other things.

@katiegreek,
I am in the same boat. My biological mother's mom raised me from when I was just a few days old and adopted me when I was 6 years old. I am starting to have serious medical conditions that are not on my biological mom or my mom's side. I really want to learn what is on my biological father's side but everyone goes quiet or says I am just opening a can of worms when I try to ask questions. I know that his parents used to come and see me before we moved. I just don't know how to go about getting his information. All I know is his name and where he might be but even doing some searches online I get a wall.

@LYSSA89,
Hi Katie, I just found out last week, after 44 years that the man I have called dad, is not my dad. Unfortunately, my mom will not talk about it. So right now I know nothing about my biological father. I am still at the 'accessing' process. How do you take the news? Katie, you were 21......I had to ask my mom due to events that had taken place..... and she denied it and then and then admitted to it. If that makes since. Maybe I should not be prying into your business and if I crossed the line, I am sorry. I do wish you the best of luck on your journey. God Bless.

Hi Katie,
A good start is to tell his name, your mom's name and where they met and where you think he might be. You never know, he may be looking for you too. I hope you find him.

I am in the same place as u. Although i don't have a medical condition or anything. My father left my ma b4 I was born. And everyone I turn to ask about him, they say it's not my position to say anything. I am 11 and I am on a "mad-dash" to find him I guess u could say. I only found out that he lives in Florida and has a daughter my age and a disabled son. My hopes and prayers go out to u and I hope that u do the same for me.
God Bless u and ur family hun

@katiegreek,
Who ever is desperately trying to find someone (father, mother, son, daughter, and etc.) here is the easy way. Briefly explain the circumstances (how the separation occurred), in which state, city, section of city, year, month, and etc. Many people were having illegal sex (one night stand) back in the 1980s and 90s, and because of this many children were born without knowing their father. I myself am looking for a possible 23 year old (as of Jan. 2014) son or daughter. I was young, virgin and very good looking, and the female that I made love to in spring of 1990 likely got pregnant and decided to give birth. I'm not sure (50/50) but it's still haunting me... in the Tora, Bible, and the Quran, God clearly says to avoid sex outside of marriage. I repent for doing this sin and as you can see what it causes.
Btw, these days you can find just about anyone on the internet. You just have to know what you're doing, everything is possible. I found someone recently that would've been impossible 10 years ago. It was a child who I just said hi to in an airplane 30 years ago, I didn't know her name or anything except approximate age, her race, and from where to where her family were going. Hahaha.

In what country do you sadly reside where one night stands are illegal and are punishable by law?

@tsarstepan,
I'm talking religiously it is illegal. I didn't mention any law of any country. Pay attention to words.

FAQs
How can I find my dad Ive never met? ›
If you wish to connect with your biological family or determine an unknown parent, consider taking an autosomal DNA test. An autosomal DNA test can be taken by males or females and may provide you with DNA matches within 5 to 6 generations on both your biological mother and father's sides of the family.
How can you tell who your biological father is? ›A DNA paternity test is nearly 100% accurate at determining whether a man is another person's biological father. DNA tests can use cheek swabs or blood tests. You must have the test done in a medical setting if you need results for legal reasons. Prenatal paternity tests can determine fatherhood during pregnancy.
Can ancestry DNA find my father? ›Does your DNA show who your father? If you two people take a DNA test, the person who doesn't know who their father is and the suspected father, because of such a close relationship, in almost all instances Ancestry DNA will be able to identify whether the second person is the father of the first or not.
How does not knowing your biological father affect you? ›People who do not know their genetic father often develop identity problems. They iden- tify with the unknown father, to whom they attribute all the personal characteristics that they cannot trace to others. Consequently, such characteristics are less strongly felt as being part of one's own personality.
How can I find my birth parents without their name? ›Visit the . gov website of the state your adoption took place in for instructions on how to request it. Next, register with all the adoption registries you can find, starting with registry.adoption.com, reunionregistry.org, and ISRR.net. Most states also have their own adoption registry.
Can a woman trace her paternal DNA? ›Yes, a woman can trace her father's DNA through various means. Through autosomal DNA tests or Y-DNA tests taken by herself, her father, brother, or paternal male cousins descended from their common grandfather through an uncle, and test results from other relatives, females can trace their father's DNA.
Can a child have 2 biological fathers? ›Superfecundation is the fertilization of two or more ova from the same cycle by sperm from separate acts of sexual intercourse, which can lead to twin babies from two separate biological fathers. The term superfecundation is derived from fecund, meaning the ability to produce offspring.
Can 23andMe find my dad? ›23andMe is not a service designed to help people find their biological parents, but one feature can help you find and connect with genetic relatives.
How can I get a free DNA test? ›Commonly, ancestry DNA websites allow you to upload your raw DNA data for free. This is true for companies like FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA), MyHeritage, LivingDNA, and other testing companies. Other sites, like GEDmatch, will allow you to research family members and your maternal and paternal line through haplogroups.
Can a saliva DNA test be wrong? ›Other sources of DNA that might be used for a paternity test include blood, hair, semen, umbilical cord, saliva, or other human tissue. If the swab or the container is contaminated, the test may be wrong. If the person obtaining the same did not follow the correct procedures, it could impact the test's outcome.
