    The first story. Tears..when he cried and wanted to meet her. Such a gift to Piki.

    Piki and her father were beautiful. I wish them all the best

    Notice he never once said, “ WHO IS THE WOMAN WHO CLAIMS I GOT HER PREGNANT ? “ THAT ought to be 100% in the forefront before getting down to the daughter.

    What happens when the birth mother and father don’t want to meet the child they gave away? What if they don’t want anyone to know that they ever had this child? What about their mental health and desires? Many of these children were given away in a time when the mother and father were promised anonymity! It doesn’t seem fair. The desire to meet needs to be mutual. The adult child shouldn’t be allowed to ruin their now much older biological parents lives because they want a connection into these people’s lives. There needs to be some sort of registry where biological parents and adoptive children can submit their desire to be contacted. Otherwise, it seems intrusive and just plain wrong!
