To the anonymous fellow who's thinking of making contact with his biological
father:

You could always have your first contact be by letter.  Explain your
intentions, tell him what you'd like to find out and why, and in case he is
nervous offer to sign away any "rights" you may have to inheritance,
patrimony, and such.  If he feels a need to take you up on the offer,
arrangements could probably be made through a pair of attorneys (yours and
his) quickly and with a minimum of hassle, the case being after all a
"friendly" one.  Then with that out of the way the two of you should be free
to get together over beer or coffee and talk about inherited diseases and
how much you look like his great aunt Minnie.  You might even come out of it
as good friends, who knows?

Good luck.
