I myself was adopted by a single mother and have never really known what it is like to have a father. They say that a lot of girls who grow up without fathers because of the lack of male affirmation become sexually active very young. But i never did that. I always wonder why? why was I not as hungry for male attention as some of the girls I have known? Then I realized it was because of what happened to me when I was four.............
Did u know God refers to himself as The Father of the Fatherless. And once I realized that. I realized that, that is what had saved me all along.
What a coincidence that God called himself that so long ago. It's like He knew or something that there would be a time in history when so many would grow up without fathers. You might even say for a time such as this.
He wants to be your Father. A Father with everlasting love that rejects No one.

I had neither a father or a mother.
My grand parents took me in at 4.
But neither of them had the time to do anything
other than keep me fed and clothed. I appreciate that!!!
many people talk about Jesus or God being a "father"
It is a concept I can not even comprehend.
I consider my self a pretty bad father because all I can do is feed and cloth my children. I don't use drugs, I don't beat on them or cuss at them.
But they need a father which I am not.

This isn't a soapbox for preaching religious beliefs. Maybe your mother just got pregnant...didn't know who your father was....got pregnant and told you that you were adopted....didn't want you to make the same mistake so she became a born again christian (by the sounds of it) as most former cons, drug addicts and promiscuous women do...at some point. Seriously...there is no call to be posing a question like that, something that is a serious subject for a lot of people and then preaching to them. Not cool....

While I think that your faith was one reason why you didnt take the route that so many young girls take (regardless if they have a father in their life or not), the credit should go to your mother who obviously raised you well (Im a single mom w/two kids and I know how difficult it is to raise children by yourself) and gave you morals and introduced you to God. I worry that my daughter (who's father is in and out of life..mostly out) will take the path that I took when I was a teenager (sex, drugs etc.). We are Christian and I try to raise her and my son with the morals and values I should have had back then. I pray that she takes the same attitude as you. God Bless and Thank you.

I grew up with out my father and it was very rough, but 4 years before he passed, my sister and I got to spend those years with him and it was so wonderful, we traveled just the 3 or us , we rode a merry-go-round and that was really neat, we put in alot of time talking and making up for fhose lost years, it was the best time of my life, something I will treasure forever.All the bad feelings I carried for many years just went away. I agree with you about God, because there were times, I could not have made it with out him.

its even amazing that a single mother was able to adopt. MOST agencies require 2 parents in the household.
Im glad you havent sought out the attention of men the way most girls do when they need that father, I will credit that to your mother who obviously taught you some morals. good luck
