Kim Are you trying to contact your birth father? Or is he dead, which is why you were hoping the niece would mention it to her dad? nell

i know this is in hindsight,but it would have been better if you had dealt with your father yourself one on one-it was your business afterall.Trying to find info through your cousin was always going to make things difficult in the future.I presume he is still alive-sorry if he isnt.
