Sheldon, I think Sundae spoke most eloquently about this and I second her thoughts. I would view it as a chance to learn something positive with a small chance to have something bad happen. Really, what have you got to lose? **I** would do it, but I don't have your experiences.

Speaking of experiences and memories, I don't think there's much difference in the sources of the things you regard as your memories now, what you experienced and what you were told of your conditions at the time. They're your memories now.

I wish you and your sisters the very best.

Thanks everyone. My sisters and I are agreed that we'll just ignore it.

My way of thinking is, I usually have a very good reason for everything I do. I have to assume there's a good reason why I don't remember my childhood and I don't want to mess up who I am now by finding out who I was and what happened to me then.

I'm not sure I could ignore it.

I hope, for you, that you've made the right decision, but, ultimately, what's right is what you feel is right, and that's what's important.

This is a tough spot, for sure.

I don't think the adult you are now could be anyway adversely affected by the knowledge of the child you didn't know you were then. Unless you wanted it to do so.

But there is no harm in ignoring the request.
