Biological parent question

sw33t_r3v3ng3

Not exactly sure where to post this but basically I have a friend who's parent was ill and unfortunately passed away. He is only the child of one of his parents. One of his biological parents is from half way across the world and he doesn't know them. I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about this? How does it work? Would the person be aware they have a child?

Don't really want to ask him as its a touchy subject. Thanks In advance.

Do you mind me asking what your interest is in this situation, OP? At the moment the questions you are asking (would the person be aware they have a child) etc can only really be answered by your friend and maybe their family, and either way, it would be up to them to follow up on it if they so wish. The fact that it's a touchy subject may very well simply mean you shouldn't nose around where your friend doesn't want you to....

I see what your saying. They'd talk to me about it if I asked, I just don't want to ask as it is touchy. I'm not trying to nose around but I'm just wondering in general if anyone knows anything.

That should be your answer then, pretty much. Your friend doesn't want to talk about it unless pushed, and really the onus is on him or her to garner more information about their biological parent if that's what they want to do. And I would assume that if there's more to be found out, then that discussion will be between your friend and their family. And if they choose to discuss it with you, fair enough. If not.....

To be honest, I'm failing to see a personal issue here other than your curiosity about your friends situation, and unless there is something else that you haven't mentioned, I'll close the thread.

Only posted it here because I had no idea where to post it. I didn't post because of my curiosity on their particular situation, I posted to hopefully get some info on this. It's a rare thing to occur and I would like to understand it better.

Sorry OP, if that's the case then thread closed.
