    He's probably had a lot of the same feelings you have! I'd give it a try maybe start with Facebook an easy way to hide behind the computer but at least you will find out if he's interest before you set yourself up for total embarrassment or write him a letter

    To start with having a child isn't something you forget. My parents got divorced when I was 8 and I have hardly seen my dad since. In one conversation I did have with him, he made it clear that he still cares, and still loves my brother and I even though he has a new family. So don't hesitate, its only the fear of the unknown.



    Just think...what if you don't contact him and you miss out on a beautiful relationship that you could have for a long time. Something that you may long for your whole life....
