Hey /r/Relationships,  
I've been lurking for a little while and I figured this subreddit might be able to answer a few question and concerns.

As I stated in the title, I've never met my biological father. He and my mother[50F] divorced when she was still pregnant with me. The only real information I have on him are based on what my mother has told me.

I recently searched Facebook and Linkedin to see if I could find him as our last name has a less uncommon spelling in the U.S. I was able to find him after showing the profiles to my mom.

I've always had a curiosity about him, mostly curious as to why he had no interest in being in my life. I'm not really sure if I'm looking for any sort of relationship out of him, though I'd like to meet his side of the family. I only have a few faint memories of my grandparents from his side, though contact stopped long ago.

Here are the questions I have for you guys:  
Have you ever reached out to a parent that you never met?  
How did you go about initiating first contact?  
How did it go?  
Did you get any closure or feel better after talking/meeting them?

Any thoughts and stories of personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
<bot>: I've never met my biological father, and I've found him on social media. I'm considering reaching out to him. Is it worth it?
