My adopted brother (who’s now in his mid-20s) learned that his biological father was recently released from prison after serving 14 years for the severe child abuse that he inflicted on his four children. My brother’s one question was: “Do you think he’d like to see me?” I didn’t really know how to answer that one.

  4. northernmomma said: I thing I would ask what he needs….why he would need to see him…does he need closure? Does he hope he is different…I would also warn that he may be setting himself up for more mental pain…just give him some things to think about and be there
