      I met my birth mother when I was 30, but no longer in contact. My birth father died two years after I was adopted. I agree it made me happy for this young lady meeting her father.

    True story, Jerry Rawlings Ghana's late military ruler from the 80s through the 90s was fathered by a Scottish man and Ghanaian woman whilst working in Ghana before that country gained independence.
    Whilst he was still a teenager, he had an opportunity to travel to Scotland all the way from Ghana to visit his father's home sometime I believe in the early 70s.
    He did not get a good reception. The front door was basically slammed in his face as his biological father denied he was his son.
    A very tragic true story that scarred the man for the rest of his life.
    Sometimes it's best not to try.
