Thanks for the non-judgemental comments. I was so fearful that I would get back hateful comments. As I said, I have sent certified letters to the mother and have heard nothing... UNTIL TODAY. I got a letter from her attorney and the step-father wishes to adopt. I can't be more happy. I know my daughter will grow up without seeing me or my other 2 daughters but at least she will feel 100% a part of one family (her mothers) instead of being torn between 2 families. There is a change that one day she will find me (we live in the same small town but have never ran into eachother). We hang out in different circles. My wife and I attend church regularly and pretty much stay home and take care of our girls. They are beer drinkers and live that lifestyle. I hurt to know that she is growing up with alcoholics but whether or not I am involved in her life she will have to live with that. As far as I know they do not hurt her, they just have a lifestyle that I do not agree with. Again, thanks for the feedback. TDHRAF
