Parents not receiving child support unite against deadbeat parents.
Looking for siblings who share my deadbeat dad, James Lewis..
Hello everyone,
I am Heather. I am looking for any siblings I may have out there, 1 that I know of, and there are probably more I don't know about. First I will tell you about our Dad. His name is James Lewis. He was raised in Bakersfield, California by adoptive parents. He has also used aliases along the way. He was born 2/12/51. In 1975 his first child that I know of was born, my older half Sister. She was born in Bakersfield. My Dad took off on her pretty much right after she was born. He ended up in Lake George, NY and met my Mom. My Mom got pregnant with my brother and my dad actually married her, my brother was born in December of 1976 and I was born in July of 1979. And Dad went missing again. I looked for him for many years and in February of 08 I found him living in Ft Walton Beach, Florida. He has lived all over, from California to Texas to Florida to New York and God knows where in between. I tried to forge a relationship with my Dad because I grew up believing I needed him. Last Winter, January of 09, Dad fell off the wagon and called me drunk. He told me I had a 6 year old brother in Florida. He ended up eventually telling me that his name was Evan and his Moms name was Lisa. I would love to find any siblings I have out there. In June of 08 I spoke to my half sister for the first time. She has become my very best friend and I live for our trips back and forth to see each other. It is hard being 1500 miles away from her. I feel like I can not rest until I find the missing pieces to our family. Anyone who can help, it would be so much appreciated! Thank You!

Heather,
I'm sorry I misunderstood your post. I did run across several websites that people register to find relatives. This one is free http://www.isrr.net and looks pretty good. If I were you I would post anywhere you can. One of them will hopefully lead you to your siblings.
Thank you :)

Thank You, Tammy.
That is my Dad, in the link you sent. Up until weeks ago, I knew how to contact him, and he had even come to visit my brother and I a couple of times in the past couple years. Then I got to the point where I realized he has not, nor will he ever, change from the man who ran off on me and my brother, and our Sister before us. When he told me he had another child 6 (or 7) years ago, It changed everything for me. I don't want to know my Dad anymore. I do want to find his children though, they are the innocent ones in all of this. Thanks for all your help, I think this is a great website for people like us, I have been looking for a good site to post on about this for quite some time.

Heather,
Hi, thanks for sharing your story. I can imagine how important it is for you to find members of your family.
Please check your email. I found a James Lewis that is the same age that graduated from Garces Memorial High School in Bakersfield, CA. I put the link in your email.
Talk to you soon,
Tammy
