Life Well...after 45 years of secrets, my mother has finally told me about my biological father. Up to this point she has refused to talk about it at all to anyone. Even my grandparents didn't remember his name. And on Dec 30th 2007, my mom wrote it all out in a letter and mailed it to me on my birthday. As much as she could remember anyway, including the mans name. Richard Ira Wadsworth. She lived in the same apt complex as his sister Linda and her husband Phil. I think thats where she met Richard. They dated for a few months, she met his parents who came out to California from Kansas to visit Linda's new baby in 1962. Richard was in the Navy. I guess things got a little weird when she told him she was pregnant. He wanted her to see a doctor, but mom was too scared, considering gramma's position at the hospital, she knew every doctor in town. Mom was embarrassed, scared (consider the times) and I'm sure Richard was too. I think they had an arguement, she told him "not to worry about it, she'd take care of it" and they never spoke again. So, she kept the secret for 45 years and now I know. I've always wanted to know the story, who this man was/is. And now I know. I've been searching the internet for clues and I think I've got him located in Anza California. But he's 70 years old and I'm not sure of his health, so I don't want to just call him up and say, "hey, remember Caroline Young?" So my hope is to locate one of his kids and see where that leads. This is quite the journey of self discovery...check back and see...Expand for more
