I’d rather my name didn’t show but here goes. Your show helped my family in a different way. Having a surprise baby in my thirties, not thinking it could still happen, my son had a combo mom-dad all his growing years. His cuidanda told neighbors his dad had died and I let that stand a few years. Without a strong happy bond with my own dad, I didn’t imagine it was much of a loss , as he didn’t know different. No “broken family“ for D. Just a Murphy Brown”mom. I hadn’t enough details for welfare to locate. ... He asked a couple questions along the way, with minimal response, getting more insistent as adult years came. By then your Maury show had me understand it could be terribly important emotionally for a person to know. With internet coming along, I was able to locate the biodad across the country where he had gone. My son D sent mail, got no answer in a year. ... D remembered my comment that his “sperm donor” didn’t want to go thru infants nights again, so could I find a sibling (s). More hours at the computer. ...Now that D has met his half brother, he’s more comfortable in himself, and with me. And yes, D’s Mail had arrived but the auntie trashed it quickly said the bro. ...When I have a late lunch I’ll watch some of your shows, especially when the child of the show is older, now knowing the feelings can be so strong. Babies on Maury may never know what went on with all the screaming. If they see a tape later, what will they think? That could be a follow up. Julierad
