I had found some other relatives via a genealogy website years ago. We stayed in contact for a while, but my ex-wife had a bit to do with that with holiday cards. I fell out of contact after the marriage collapsed. If anything, I have to get back in contact with the other relatives. This was a private adoption, so I have a lot of records of the court proceeding's, but I still can't just drop in unannounced. It can really mess things up.
