My 2 brothers and I are looking for our 2 older half brothers that were born between 1968 and 1972. Our fathers name is Richard Belcher. (Unfortunately, we donҒt know your names or your exact birth dates because I was only 5 yrs old when my mother left our father and lost contact with his family) The only thing I have from my mother and fathers relationship is a wallet sized photo of the two of you framed with a drawing our father sketched of you. (Ironically, itҒs on the back of a State of Oklahoma Ӗ Dept of Institutions, Social, and Rehabilitative Services Agreement with Foster Parent for Care of Children֔ form.) (Older brother: approx. 5 in photo, blonde hair, hazel green eyes. Younger brother: approx. 3 yrs old in photo, brown hair and brown eyes) The photo appears to have been taken in the mid 1970s.
According to my mother, the two of you were placed in foster care prior to my mother and our father getting together. She said that we had a couple of supervised visits with the two of you shortly after I was born, but nothing beyond that. WeҒve asked our mother to give us any information she could about you, but she said that it was a sore subject with our father and he didnt like to talk about. (Not 100% sure if thatҒs the entire truth or whether she was just insecure about the two of you being products of a previous relationship and didnt care to find out more.)
Looking at your picture for many years, IҒve wondered where you are, how youve been, do you look like us now, and if youҒve ever wondered about us? I attempted to contact my fathers family about 11 yrs ago when I turned 18 to find out more information about him and the two of you. I never got the opportunity to speak with our father directly because his sister and brother ғclaimed they had no idea where he was or how to reach him. The contact attempt felt very awkward and gave me the impression that our desire to form a relationship wasnԒt exactly reciprocated by our fathers family. Oh well!҅..you cant choose your parents҅ Regardless, of my fatherŒs lack of interest, we would like to form a relationship with our brothers. If you think you might be one of these boys and are curious, please respond and I will e-mail the photo I have.
