my friend is 31 this year and never met his biological mum. his mum n dad divorced when he was a baby i think.. even if he seen her as a baby he cant remember.. then his father remarried but then he left his wife and left his family altogether.. wat i feel is that maybe this guy, or any person who is missing one of the parents, perhaps will grow up 'differently' but one day, will still meet the parent somehow
its worth a try.. a parent is still a parent, and u cant run away from these ties..
my ex classmate has never met his dad either. but i think his mum kept it from him coz his father died.. coz his mum never talked to him abt his father, just that he knew his dad was of a different nationality.. he has completely no idea who his dad is.
