I mean, it takes two people, and you certainly didn’t do it all by yourself.

I’m not sure, maybe send an email and include a picture of the two of you together, just so they know its real? I’d also tell them something like “I’m not asking for anything from you, I just want you to know. Here is my information if you would like to get in contact in the future.”

But theres a lot of cultural context that I don’t know, that could affect how it would be interpreted

If I had a son that started a family and then abandoned them, I would want to know.

I’ve seen this be a pattern of behavior, my friend’s dad had done that at least 4 different times, and he is still finding “new” siblings.

Reply to LPT Request: Any idea how to separate a photo that is fused with the glass on its frame? by Dwestmor1007

The scanner/copy idea others mentioned is good, but I would ask some local professional photographers if they would be willing to help.

Depending on the type or thickness glass, it might be difficult for a scanner to get a clear image, in which case a DSLR camera might be able to copy it better. A photographer, especially one who knows art reproductions/documentation would be able to re-photograph it without glare.

Photographers understand the deeply personal value of photographs like this, I’m sure you could find one who would volunteer to help or do it for a small fee.
