I'd like to start by saying that I agree with DavidKed's position that too often biofathers are circumvented. But I don't know that it was appropriate for this particular thread. I had to pipe in and support MMC66 to say that nowhere in her original post was she disrespectful. She was merely seeking to understand the emotional risk that she might be undertaking. She wasn't saying that she didn't want the biofather found, she was just wondering what might happen down the road, after she and her family had bonded heart and soul with this child. Would she stand to lose everything? I think that's a perfectly reasonable question to ask. I wish I had asked more questions on the subject.
