The story of the woman who was adopted searching for her bio dad inspired me to help someone. I’ve seen how helpful you all have been. Here’s the dilemma I work as a service coordinator and the consumer I support has not seen his 2 daughters in 15 or so years. He told me about his children during his assessment when I asked him is he sad, depressed, or hopeless. He stated that he is often sad when he thinks about his daughters and how much he misses them. So I told him about this awesome

GLOW story and he said he would love for someone to help him find his daughters. He misses them a lot he even cried. I don’t know what happened to cause them to stop talking. He did tell me a little but there’s always 3 sides to a story. This is where the dilemma kicks in I told my boss about this a staff made a comment about not getting attached to the consumers then my boss said don’t help him find them it’s against HIPPA. I don’t really understand how it’s against HIPPA if I’m not releasing his medical info etc. And he gave me permission to take a photo of him and old pictures he has of his daughters. Anyways I was able to locate his daughters online (he’s older and don’t know how to use technology). What should I do? Should I give his daughter his number? Should I tell him how he can contact them? What should I do I feel horrible knowing I have the information to connect him to his children and don’t do anything to help. I also would like to keep my job.

I think I’m going to give it until the weekend to think about it. I’ll pray on it. Btw I’m not taking a side because I don’t know the truth. I want to believe no abuse happened but you never know. & I’m hoping that’s not the case here.
