>Just a quick update…
Last night, Alan received a facebook message asking if he knew a certain woman named Kathy. He answered, “Yes, she was my high school girlfriend.”
Well the guy who sent the message wanted to talk to him so Alan called. After a little bit of conversation, Alan asks, “Who are you?” And the man answers, “Well, I think you may be my dad.”
Pause for chills.
This really happened last night. Alan had no idea that his former girlfriend had been pregnant. She gave the baby up for adoption without ever telling him. The boy (man) is now 42, and hired an agency to find his biological parents.
He found mom first. She lives in Oceanside. She told him that Alan was his father.
And guess what? Alan is a grandpa! Twice! And they live in Huntington Beach, so it won’t be long before we meet our new family. And they own a home in Palm Desert! And, in this small world of amazing coincidences, he went to high school with one of our friends!
Alan is very overwhelmed. He’s happy to have been found by his son, excited at the chance to meet him and his family, and a little angry and sad that he didn’t know anything until now.
I’ll keep you posted as this true story develops.
>How wonderful! It is a shame that they are just now going to be in each other's lives, but at least they found each other! What a great surprise!
>wow, this brings tears to my eyes… how amazing!!
>WOW! how very cool!!!!! so THAT's why you didn't do the grand tour… and here i was thinking it was bad news!!!!!! congrats on the growing family!!! (and it's not even 4-legged, furry family members this time!!!!)
>Thanks for the comments. To say we are excited would be an understatement. I'll let everyone know how things develop (and post pictures when I get his permission–the resemblance is amazing–no dna test needed :-)Cali-while out provided a great excuse, I was out for the ride anyway. Training has not been adequate, especially for a first timer. Did you do the double? Thanks for thinking about me.
>OMG. I just about fell over. Well, better late than never. (wiping tears from eyes)
