Personal Narrative: Not Knowing Your Biological Father

404 Words2 Pages

It 's hard growing up not knowing your biological father. You try to pretend it doesn 't bother you, but it does. Eventually you get so fed up with the ache that you search. My parents always said that I could look for my dad when I turned eighteen, basicly graduating from high school. So this is how i challenged that belief/idea and found my biological father. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Over the years I knew that I was adopted, I knew who my mom was, but I didn 't know my dad or who he was. So for a while I didn 't care. Then as I went into my teens I started to feel like something was missing, and I realized it was the fact that I didn 't know my dad but of course I didn 't show that it bothered me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ …show more content…

then decided I that I was going to find my father. Luckily my mom showed him to me on Facebook. I looked him up and found my father, I proceeded to send him a friend request, He accepted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had a million questions But the biggest one was, Why? Why did he leave? Why didn 't he stay in contact? None of these questions I asked. Instead I heard what he had to say. i just wanted to know about him, to see what he had to say.

    “What’s that thing on your face?” was the first thing I heard when meeting a new kid for the first time. Although this type of greeting is generally considered rude, I was never ashamed of my birthmark. My mother had convinced me that it was an “angel kiss”, and that very few babies had the privilege of being kissed by an angel. Those who were, would have a mark forever. At first glance I looked pretty normal as a young boy: two eyes, a nose, a mouth--the usual, but as I met other kids, I realized that they were staring at the bright red birthmark that dominated the left side of my face.

In the book, she had said, “when my mother was pregnant with me, she was exposed to Rubella, or German Measles, a common cause of hearing loss in infancy” (Lezotte, 3).
