I have several friers who were adopted.Some want to meet their bio parents while others would only like to know their medical histories and would prefer not to have actual contact.I think it depends on each individual what they want. I know one lady I when I lived in NY who after meeting her birth family came home and thanked her Mom profusely for adopting her and giving her the life she had because there were 7 other real kids with very dysfunctional lives with her birth Mom.

Yeah, I don’t care specifically that he didn’t want to meet his bio dad. But when you couple that choice with ignoring his first child, then that starts to paint a picture of a cold man.

He just always struck me has a hippy who made good but never ditched the 20 year old self-centered attitude. It’s annoying to see him held up as some sort of hero. He did well. He invented cool stuff. He bought a new liver which most people with PC will never be able to do. He probably lived 8x longer than most people with that diagnosis. I am sorry he suffered. I’m sorry when cancer takes anyone. It’s all very sad. But a hero, he’s not.
