Hi Sharon,
          I am 16 years old. I just recently found my father. He knew I 
exsisted. But I haven't seen him scence I was two years old and I didn't 
remember him at all. I put all the info. on this computer like his SS# and 
name and all and Shannon McNickle put it on the internet and within two days 
I got an address. I was scared to write ti him cause he does not have a phone
I was scared that he would reject me and would hate me for finding him. I 
sent the letter off on tuesday and friday I got a phone call and it was my 
father.
He came and got me the next weekend! He lives in Nacoghches Texas and I live 
in St. Bernard Louisiana he came to get me I spent 3 weeks with him and I 
just got back this past friday. It was great.
     I wouldn't worry about him hateing you cause its not your fault. You 
said he doesn't know you exsist but I'm sure he would love you and be happy 
that you found him.
                                         I wish you lots of luck! :)
                                                       Cj hughes
