i havent seen her father since i was 4 months pregnant with her so its not the case of him not taking a interest its more the fact that i choose not 2 have him involved but she does know who her father is she just never knew where he was i went on to have 5 more children who she grew up with so i will see what she says about it

Wouldn't put too much emphasis on spitting image.!

How old is your daughter?
If they are her fathers children, why doesn't she know about them? have you never told her.

I think the biggest thing to consider is this. If her father has shown no interest in her for x years, is anything likely to come of making contact, or will it just cause heartache? Some times ignorance is bliss.

love this stories i know there are a few siblings and cousins of my daughter that she knows nothing about but would love to get in touch with them as they are part of my daughter not sure weather to contact them or no
i found a young lady on fb who is a spitting image of my daughter and she is friends with my biological cousin so still debating weather to get in touch and open a whole can of worms or weather its best left alone dicisions dicisions

as with most things once they get over the initial shock they can either accept or go different ways you can hold your head up high knowing that you had tried but most families do accept with 101 questions :-D

Since researching since 1983 I have found half siblings older than me. But do they know of my existence ??? and would they care ???? :-(

hope that will happen for my daughter annina one day it will im sure

I found my Belgian half brother a couple of years ago,the product of Dads first marriage.

I knew about him,indeed, spent 40 yrs looking for him, but when I got in touch he had no idea that he had two half sisters and a half brother .

After the initial shock,he was over the moon as he thought that he hadn't any family at all since his mother died.

When I went over to see him as a surprise birthday present,it was an unbelievable,magic time,and within minutes it was if we had known each other forever. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

i do go on here sometimes but only when i have my thoughts

Hello Stephanie

How nice to see you on the chat board.

Prickles. x

Geez, I hope I don't get a surprise like that.

I have enough problems with the brothers I already have.

yeah mine goes back to the 1990's

we had an unknown turn up in our family a few years back - one of my mother's brothers fathered a child when he was 16 years old - when he was in his eighties this boy turned up - mega shock all round - he has however been totally accepted by the family

well my daughter is the eldest of 15 9 brothers and the rest sisters but still looking for names for some of them as varios partners and i thought i was 1 of a big family and she has loads of cousins she never knew about as well but cant find them either :-D

No not me but an interesting subject someone on here years ago thought she was an only child and spent years looking for her Mum she then found she had 6 sisters and 1 brother ...Wow!

sorry cant resist but has anyone doing there family tree where you relise that you have found a sibling you never knew you had because your parent lost touch with the other parent

i am doing one of my children's father's line and they no nothing about her and i have not told her yet that her father went on to have a further 9 children and none of them no it yet :-D
