Answer 1

My father and my birth mom both gave up rights to me and my fathers mom (my grammy) adopted me and i grew up asking alot of questions once i was old enough to get the partial story and understand i'm actually glad it happened the way it did. unforunatley my grammy has passed on now but i still keep in touch with my dad and would really like to find my birth mom cause i still (at age 34) have alot of unanswered questions for her, i met her once when i was fifteen but now that i'm older and wiser i would like to know the whole story as to why she didn't want me. god bless

Answer 2

When I was 6 my mother told my father to leave. I remember that day like it was yesterday and I am 38 now. My mother moved up to another state and did not tell my father. When I was 13 I asked about my father and she told me he was dead. But it was not true. So I set out to find him and did. My older brother to me to see him. I got my father's side of the story and believed every word he said. My mother got mad at me for finding my father and sent me to live with him at the age of 15. And she never spoke to me again. But my father and I had the greatest relationship I ever had until he passed away two years ago. But in my heart I do forgive my mother because she must of have her reasons and maybe someday I will know them.

Answer 3

for me, my mom never took me away from my father. the gov. did. i was 5 yrs old, and yes i remember it very well. i was 7 when i started to ask the adults in my fam. where he was, what was he like and why was he gone. my mother only told the truth. and the truth hurt. and i will never forgive my father for what he did ( he i a child molester, an alcoholic and an all around jail bird. hes been in jail most of my life im 18 now. and hey hes in jail now.) and for not trying harder to get me and my siblings back. i was in court one day and i could not be in the same room as him my siblings and i had to be in a tiny room. but i overheard him telling my mother that he did not want us. and he was going to do nothing to get us back becuase we ruined his life. if you want to see a pic of him look on the internet for people who have done crimes and look for a man named Roy D.

Answer 4

I was fortunate enough to grow up with both my mother and my father and my five siblings. I can't imagine being without them. We are all still close. I think that I can forgive either my mother or father for turning their back on me, I think that would be considered unconditional love.

Answer 5

i pretty much kept my kids from my partners family. it was by far one of my most difficult choices. but when you look at all the circumstances and facts i would do it again. it has made my life hard. it has made my in-laws life hard. but as a parent i am the one responsible. as my kids get older it is their choice to see or not to see. but as a parent my conscious has to be clear. just because one is related does not make them fit. suitable. trustworthy. responsible. decent. safe. blood does not equal rights. perhaps we should all gage family the same way we gage strangers.

Answer 6

no, my bio-dad never made any effort, my adoptive Father was all I needed.
