I know you'll figure out a way to let Ned know the past. The love and sense of protection that you have for him will help you with that.

I'm hoping because my dad is such a strong role model and father figure for him that he doesn't feel the need to look for the biological dad. Thanks for commenting. It is always reassuring hearing from mums who've raised a boy without a dad.The Babbling Bandithttp://babblingbandit.me/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958829718723459845.post-53225289469628183112012-12-10T15:41:43.866+11:002012-12-10T15:41:43.866+11:00My son has never said he wanted a father or asked ...My son has never said he wanted a father or asked who his father is. I'm not sure if he is just not curious or if he's being protective of me (which would be totally out of character). His best friend as a kid also had no contact with his dad so I think he took a long time to realise it wasn't normal.Kathryn OHallorannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958829718723459845.post-88856572903326100812012-08-09T21:37:59.446+10:002012-08-09T21:37:59.446+10:00Thanks for the comment Jane.

If Ned wanted to meet him one day I doubt we'd ever find him anyway. I guess I'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Trying to find missing loved ones, especially a child or parent is heartbreaking. My brother has been looking for his dad for decades. I don't want Ned to feel the same sense of loss that my brother does. I wouldn't stop Ned's father from seeing him, if he actually came looking... but that's for the next instalment to the story! <br /><br />Hope your brother and your family finds Taylor soon.<br /><br />V/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862647761810468815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958829718723459845.post-33894163219929676302012-07-22T11:23:06.932+10:002012-07-22T11:23:06.932+10:00Hey V!

You didn't elaborate on the story at the time, but I appreciated reading a bit more just now. <br /><br />I can't remember if I told you about my brother, he has experiences similar to yours. He also has a child that he hasn't seen in many years, and I hope she has asked questions like your Ned has. If you haven't already read about it, feel free to check out the page on my blog, dedicated to finding my niece. http://www.mumofadultkids.com/p/do-you-know-taylor.html<br /><br />cheers xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958829718723459845.post-71362458202410851512012-07-22T10:59:27.144+10:002012-07-22T10:59:27.144+10:00Looking forward to reading more....Looking forward to reading more....Debhttp://dietschmiet.me/noreply@blogger.com
