A woman I know found out as an adult that her "dad" was not her biological father, but that she was actually the product of an affair that her married mother had with a married man. Even though she knows who her biological father likely is, she has no desire to meet him or have anything to do with him. If it were me, I would have to at least meet him face to face.
What about you? If you found out one or both of your parents weren't your biological parents, would you want to meet your "birth parents"?

I think that it would entirely depend on the relationship that I had with my parents, though even if I loved them, I might not trust that they were necessarily telling me the truth about my birth parents. I mean, in situations like these, lies are told just as easily to soften a blow as they are to cover things up and protect one's own ass. I think that I'd very likely want to meet my birth parents, but there are a ton of factors that would influence that decision.
