It really isn't healthy for adopted kids to dig too deep
« on: December 07, 2009, 08:19:03 PM »
Radio DJ out in California wanted to find out about his real parents.   He did.  Now he regrets it.
Some things should remain secret

Guy was conceived in rape.  Mom moved far far away.  Kid still found her.  Took  a while, but he got the name of his dad from her.

He does look a lot like dad.

People looking for their parents is why my (former) friend gave for why she supports infanticide.  No lie.

I wonder if he regrets pushing so hard for the information? On the one hand he has found out what he wanted to know, on the other hand he has a new set of problems.

I did a huge research paper on Manson in college.  He had a bunch of kids by a bunch of women who came through his little cult compound.  They were always having drug fueled orgies.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

One of the more tragic Kdramas I watched recently had the same basic theme.    Kid was adopted out of an orphanage to an American family.   Family was very conservative and religious and the kid grew up well, enlisted in the military, rose up quickly and became a high level enlisted.   He got assigned to Korea and began digging.  What he found out about his life before the orphanage  was really horrible.  Sperm donor ran off, mom died, mom's new boyfriend dropped the kid at the orphanage and was listed as the dad.  When  the guy showed up in Korea, the   boyfriend was in prison waiting execution for a really horrible murder.
