I agree that we are often lumped together as one. The lines are blurry and there's little distinction between removal for abuse and neglect, or removal due to the fact that we weren't married.
One minute, you're the hero for being so unselfish, and the next, you're the one who abandoned your child... It's a no-win situation, folks...
The fact that so many of us right here on this forum had our children taken away from us SIMPLY BECAUSE WE WEREN'T MARRIED is validation that there wasn't anything wrong with US - there was something wrong with society and our parents...
I get tired of being made to feel like we are so needy, like we think we can just pick up where we left off "X" number of years ago and be your mommy again... We just want to reconnect with our firstborn children. Why is that so wrong??????? Tammi
