 My dad's sister was actually married to my mum's brother. So they were siblings-in-laws and they knew each other from a young age. It's quite a romantic story really, but way too long. Let's just say it involved an engagement ring thrown on the floor, my dad returning from the army and a failed elopement after a motorbike accident and matching scars to this day. Oooohhh...

I'm pretty sure I answered this a few years ago, but who cares? Mom was on her way from Ottawa to Tokyo because she was homesick (she was working in a foreign country on her own). She had a layover in Honolulu and decided to sit in a park to kill the time. Dad was sitting on a bench in said park. Mom asked him to identify an odd nut she saw on the ground. They exchanged addresses and began a pen pal romance. The rest is history.  |

He did turn out to be a bit of a nut after all actually! |

Didn't happen to be Ala Moana Beach park, did it? Was your dad a local boy?
That was a cute story. I wonder how rare it is to meet someone in that way and have a marriage blossom from it. I dread telling my [dimly possible future] children that their mom and I were matched on "29 dimensions of compatability".

My biological father was a rich japanese manufacturer met my mum while vacation in Brazil in the late 80's. At the time of my production he was in his late 50's, married and childless. My mum was 25  . Hewanted only to produce an attractive heir and as I was a boy he wanted to "buy" me from my mum to race me with this wife in Tokyo. But my mum took the money, got her boobs, stomach and nose did, went to Germany and married my stepfather. He adopted me, changed my name from Mutsuo to M.Chris and pays everything to make me a white boy. Lol , as they are divorced now I live with my german stepfather, not knowing my japanese father and I broke the contact with my mother as I got to now all this last year  . Don't you think that my lifestory would be a great book;D Don't take a pity with me, I take this with composure, it could have been worser ;D |

That's an amazing story - I've heard of something *similar* but not the same, of course. Yes, that would make fascinating book - even more so, a fascinating life.
Have you ever made contact with your biological father? Is he alive? Do you feel there are missing/altered facts that you have been given?

In graduate school, my dad pulled a prank on my mom in order to entertain a classmate. My mother thought it was cruel and started crying. My dad felt bad and married her. After a while, that is...

I'm not so sure if he's still allive, I'm 18 now and he was in his late fities when I was produced... not so sure if he's still alive  . My mum knows thathe loved my looks and even his japanese wife wanted me based on a pic ;D. Thinking about this, I think I'm mad on my mum that she didn't left me in Japan. Yes, I think there a few things that I missed. I mean I have a dad and I absolutely love my "stepfather". He's a typical german man with big blue eyes and a thin nose, so I never really saw myself in him. And he critiqued a lot my behaviour, calling me often japanese and backstabbing like his business partners ;D and he forced my from age 9 to lifting weights to become a muscular white body  . My mum looks mediterran-white, she has a sunkissed skin with bleached hair (she's natural black), like singer Anastacia, so we don'T look the same at all. I think my biological father would have never allowed me to do a nose job or plastic surgery in general. But my german dad is good minded about it because he believes a westernized look brings me closer to the german high-society ;D. |

We're not rich, but he has his own company. I just got last year a nose bridge done , he wants me to make my eyes bigger and to scalling down my jaw and my nose. But I decided to not do it, plastic surgery is hurtful and straining |
