So long story short, I’m a product of a one night stand with a foreign soldier. I was told the same story my whole life but now that I’m older I’m starting to have questions.

So backstory. (From what my mom & my file told me.) My mom was young and dumb; got wasted at a bar in CO. Met my dad who was in the military (army I think) stationed in CO but was from another country. She doesn’t remember where, she just remembers the strong accent he had. Maybe English or Australian. Anyways. She brought him home, they hooked up and she ended up pregnant with me. He left early that following morning and so doesn’t remember anything about him. When she found out she was pregnant with me she tried her hardest to find out who he was. But she had so little to go on. She got into touch with some social worker or private investigator or something to help locate him. All she remembered was his accent, his brown hair that was combed to the side, and that he was in uniform at the bar. That’s it. The lady my mom hired eventually got into contact with my dads general/ military boss. My mom was fortunate enough to have a phone call with him. My mom explained everything to him. Pleaded that she could talk to him or get his name or something. He stated he wasn’t allowed to give any info out to her but promised he would pass the news down to him and if he wanted to contact you he’d be able to. He also stated there’s nothing they could really do since it wasn’t a rape case. She Never heard anything from him. My mom didn’t give up. She kept in touch with the social worker. Here’s where it gets weird. At one point my mom got a voicemail from the social worker and was told she found out his name and info and to call her back asap. When she called back she didn’t answer. And ignored her calls for weeks. Months forward, My mom ran into her at a Safeway and asked her about it. She looked stunned and denied everything. told her to never call her again and to delete her number. My mom gave up after that. She’d stayed by the story my whole life. But now that I’m older I have questions. Is she lying to me? Is the military really that strict? I’ve thought about doing the ancestry test n shit but idk. All opinions are welcome. Especially if you have military background. I’m 25 now. Married with my own family. But the little girl inside of my still wonders if my dad even knows of my existence.
