When I was 18 my then gf had a baby which was given up for adoption. We weren’t given a say in the matter, and if I’m honest, we probably wouldn’t have made great parents at the time. Her parents had never really taken to me and although we stayed together for a time after the baby was born eventually we broke up.
I heard later that she was engaged about a month after we broke up.
That was over 40 yrs ago and although i’ve often wondered how her life turned out I hadn’t been able to find anything about her online.
I live 200 miles away now with my wife and have children and grandchildren of my own.
Recently I saw a post on a fb group that I am a member of that was very clearly her. She referenced a very specific event that we were both at. She is still with the same guy she got engaged to.
She must have known that I was part of the group because my name hasn’t changed. Surely she will have realised that I would recognise her?
Should I make contact? I don’t want to rekindle anything, but she was very important to me and I know that I let her down back then.
