Is there a way to lock a thread? At this point, I do not think further comments are needed. Thank you to those who did reply logically and offered sound advice.

I can understand your desire to have paternity established, BreezyB, and I personally do not find what you are doing odd or unusual or showing instability at all. Many adult children who were adopted also search for their biological children.

Good luck.

To be clear, I agree completely that it's not odd or unusual, nor does it show instability. I was (and am) concerned about the OP's desire to exact some sort of revenge on behalf of her mother (and/or herself), and that is the reason I suggested therapy to help her get past those feelings. It was never intended to be a slight or an implication that I feel that BreezyB is "unstable" or has any sort of mental illness.

PS: Q - I think the last word of your sentence was meant to be "parent".
PPS: My ex-wife had two children (not mine) after we divorced who were placed for adoption. I have made a huge effort to be available for those kids to help them understand the circumstances of their adoption when the time comes.

You want to spell out for me exactly what crime this man committed, EVEN IF your assumptions are true? Statute number would be good, or the name of the case law.

If, as I suspect, the paternity test from 30 years ago was court ordered, then sending someone else to impersonate the alleged father would unquestionably be a crime. The problem is that it's 30 years ago and not the sort of crime about which anyone other than the OP will care at this point.

I know what you're getting at, but that's where defamation starts rearing its ugly head. The OP really should not accuse the man of any crimes.
