(no subject)
So I have been corresponding with my cousin on my paternal side... well, I still don't know how he is related to me, but we are thinking either second cousins or first cousins once removed (that would mean his mom is my first cousin). He is very open and happy to help me find my bio dad. I hope that if and when he and his mom do that the biological father will be honest with them, and open to talking to me.
I have asked myself, what I want by being in contact with him... I am hoping that at the very least to know his name, have a picture of him, and know if I have half-siblings. I would like to hear as much about the family as possible. I would like to have a relationship with possible half siblings.
Anyway---- some things that have been confirmed.... I have a surname. I also know that the family originated from Tehran, Iran. My father likely immigrated here due to religious persecution of his faith... Bahai.
Last Sunday and today I attended a Bahai service. I brought my mom with me today. The odd thing is that my mom was Bahai. So much so she married my social dad in a Bahai ceremony. So I wonder what the connection is between my mom and bio dad (anonymous sperm donor) is. There isn't suppose to be a connection... and what are the chances that they both would be???? Not very likely. Though my mom's OBGYN that helped with the procedure was Iranian. He was not Bahai though (I believe this because I am told his surname is not a Bahai last name).
Hopefully I will get an anser to that question.
My cousin said he would be seeing his mom over the weekend. I sent him some pictures of me as a child. He said his mom will call her cousins in Las Vegas and look for answers for me. I didn't hear back from my cousin today... I want to give them time and space.
