I am not the sum of my genes, I am the sum of my experience. And so any biological parent would mean very little to me in the end. But, with that said, if it means so little to me why wouldnt I go just to satisfy what little curiousity I had?
If it turned out to be a negitive experience then I know that I am not that person and could be thankful they were not in my life. If it turns out positive then yippie, everything is well and my curiousity is satisfied. Either why I doubt I would persue a relationship beyond that meeting. I would see little reason too
I think it would depend on the situation. Why have I never met my parent? What was the situation that caused this parent to leave before i was born? Does the parent want to see me?
though I've never experienced anything like this situation, as my parents are still married to each other, I think my curiosity would outweigh most things, and I would want to meet this parent.
i agree with both kevin and joey. the biology would mean very little to me and it would also depend on why i had never seen the parent.
however, i picked no because even if i had curiousity and the parent wasn't a total jerk/alcoholic/abuser i don't know if it'd be enough to want to see the person. i only imagine it would be awkward and i already have enough problems trying to make conversation with people i have met!
