Hey Everyone!

So I have exciting news. But before I give you this news, I have to give some backstory. When I was a wee lass, my mom divorced my dad and ran. So I never knew him until I was in college. His wife found me and hooked us up.

Recently we were talking and I learned that through my dad, I am part Irish!

That is right! I am IRISH!!

So I feel I must take part in these festivities not just because green is my favorite color but because it is also a part of my heritage. I'm stoked and decided to make this thread in celebration. Feel free to come on in and have a large cup of foaming rootbeer with me!

Yay! Congrats on finding your dad, and congrats on being Irish. ;) I'd definitely count that as a plus.

I'm a quarter irish myself. My mom's half and my grandma is full. She's a funny little redheaded lady with spunk. I love my Irish roots. They're the part of my genes I treasure the most. :)

That is exciting news! Hooray for an Irish rebirth!

Congrats on finding your dad! I recently got back in touch with my dad as well. Celebrate we shall!

I'm probably part Irish... I'm part everything ELSE...

I have some Irish in me but I don't know how much or what else I have in me. lol

I'm mostly irish and german, and then a mix of 5 other things scrambled in there

I actually just watched a movie last night that is supposed to be taking place in Ireland. It's pretty cute. It's called Leap Year.

Congratulations on finding your dad! My great grandmother is from Belleek, Ireland (where they make super beautiful pottery that allows light to shine through it!). I hope to visit someday. So yay for being Irish!!

Are those yours, Rochiel?
They're gorgeous!

I want to visit soo bad! I hope that one day I can go.

This seems like a safer place to post while I'm multitasking.
Hey y'all. What's up?

Rochi those are gorgeous dishes!
I'm Irish, English, and Native American (with a teensy bit of German). It's a weird mix that doesn't bode well for tolerating alcohol or diabetes. :D

Those are beautiful dishes!!

Congrats! I have a dash of Irish on my dad's side of the family too, but I'm mostly English and Scottish. Just an all around British mutt, really.

I'm the usual European mutt as well, but no Irish in me that I know of.

That is wonderful. It is fun to know your roots and it is always nice to be able to hear stories from family too.

I am only a bit Irish... I'm mostly German and Swedish with a touch of Irish, Welsh, Choctaw Native American, and Cherokee Native American.

Isn't it fun to have ancestors from all over?

Enjoy the holiday regardless!

I'm so glad to hear that your dad turned out to be awesome.

What a mass quote. So how is maiden today?

Enjoy the holiday?

:U Are you ginger?

wow, what a touching reunion story~ *weeps*

xD;; Meave.

Iunno. If my birth parents left me, I wouldn't consider them my parents anymore. I wouldn't awnna meet them.

... my father keep telling me I am not their daughter, that he picked me up from a rubbish bin. -__-;; what joke he kept saying until now. He is hilarious.

IF! that happen... hmmm. Really depends on how I end up. If I was abandoned and end up in a very undesirable life, I would hate them, I guess. But if I am in a good life, I may have a more kind heart?

... xD That sounds like a typical silly dad joke tho.

idek. For better or for worse, if they didn't raise me, then they aren't family.

For sure, I would have the curiosity to want to know things.
I always have curiosity in things unknown.

Iunno. I suppose I understand curiosity, but I'm not sure I understand why you'd wanna meet these people who threw you away.
