- .I am not proposing that he check if she's pregnant. Which, BTW she

- Michal, Michal, Michal. I am adopted and my birth certificate shows
- no sign of who my natural mother (or father) is. If this hypotetical
- woman did give birth, and put the child up for adoption, wading through
- birth certificates would be useless not to mention far too late to do
- anything about it. But you're smart so I'll bet you already knew that.
- Any other ideas?
- BTW Michal, I would think it would be a 'matter of common decency'
- for her to simply drop him a line, or call him to let him know - providing
- of course she had 'kept in touch'. Ah well, maybe it was just a
- meaningless 1 night thing for her and she has changed her 'circle of friends'
- since then.
- What do you think Don?
