Jim; Good morning to you my cyber friend, I hope that this first Sunday in May finds you and that wonderful family well and having good spring weather.
On the topic of adoption, since my late father had 10 brothers and sisters and my late mother had 8, there's adopted cousins on both sides.
Now of course I can't speak for anyone else but me, but I preferred the company of some of the adopted ones to those not and actually stay in touch today with them. They're my family 100%.
This past year on a sheep hunting sub forum on Faceplant there was a guy with my last name - Mehrer - which isn't common at all, so I asked him about it and we've gotten to know each other's history over time.
Part way through, he said he had that name though his step dad, so we weren't true cousins. My response was that his love of hunting, horses and fishing made him more a cousin than some of the ones who do none of that, so I'll just consider him my cousin somewhat more removed and we've carried on.
Lastly, a few of the cousins mentioned have contacted their birth families and some not - both for valid reasons I'm sure.
I wish you nothing but positive outcomes regardless Jim. That and all the very best for your fine family out there in the High Line country.
Dwayne

Wonder how many times that story played itself out over the years?
I won't do that 23 & me stuff. When folks ask if I have any kids, I have to tell them "none that I know of".
I'd like to keep it that way.

Good luck, Jim. For what it's worth, Conrad is a cooler name anyway. In a Gunsmoke sort of way.

My uncle did a DNA test and found out he had a match for a half brother in California. He contacted him and the guy said he never knew his dad. He said his mom got pregnant with some guy that was in California from out of state.
My grandpa and his brother disappeared from the family farm for several months when they were teenagers. Turns out they spontaneously jump a train on day and rode all the way to California where they lived for a few months. I asked my grandpa about it once and he said one day working on the farm they got talking about seeing the ocean and the next thing he knew they were sneaking on a train. I asked him how they lived down there. He told me he worked construction down there and some rich lady paid him to pose naked while she painted him.

Kiana Alaska.
Sounds like a cold place. All I will say be thankful where you grew up and who you call mom and dad. Western Alaska villages are chitholes with a crime rate that puts lower 48 reservation crime rates to shame. The village of Kiana is located where three rivers meet: the Squirrel River, Kobuk River, and big/small channel rivers. Kiana is in the Northwestern Alaska, 30 miles North of the Arctic Circle, and 57 air miles East of Kotzebue.[12]
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
