Hi all..look, 2 updates so far this week and it's only Tuesday!!! I'm sure most everyone knows that I'm adopted, right? I was adopted when I was 8, and sealed to my family when I was 9. I remember my biological parents, and have recently been searching for my biological father so I could do the geneology on his side. For the past 2 years (seriously) I've been trying and been hitting brick wall after brick wall. Finally Aaron and I decided that this summer I was going to spend a lot of time in the geneological center in Salt Lake, to see if the pro's could help me get anywhere.
Anyways, last night I was in bed, and around 11 my phone started ringing. It was my mom, I figured she just forgot about the time change, so since I missed the call I called her back. She said that she had just gotten off the phone with my biological uncle and that my biological father had just died....
So....I can't tell if I'm sad or not.
Should I be sad? I've been trying to find him to do the geneology, but I haven't seen him since I was 11. My uncle called me this morning (I took the morning off work) and said that he had been going back to church (he's LDS) and that he was married, and has a cabin in Alaska, and that before they could proceed with funeral arrangements, they needed my permission since I'm his child.
I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around this. It's information overload. What do you think?
Anyways, on to different news, we registered Aaron for his final semester ever as an undergrad!!! Woohoo!!! August 31 is when his last classes start- his schedule is great! Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri he has class from 8am-9:15am. HAhaha, he's hating it already!!!

I didn't know you were adopted. You learn something new every day! :P WOW! That is a lot to take hold of! My dad dealt with something similar. His parents divorced, and he only saw his dad a couple of times after, and then he called his step-mom up a few years later, and found out his dad had passed away and had been cremated. Like you, he wasn't sure he was sad. It's a lot to process.
Well, that's a doozy. Do what you gotta do; maybe his family can help you with the genealogy work. What kind of brick walls were you hitting? Are they down now that he's passed away?
Hey I'm glad you found my blog! I'm sorry that you are having these struggles. I hope you know how blesssed we are to have had you and Dixie be Thompsons! XXOO
