Re: waive parental rights

More | Report Post

I was expecting that kind of answer from you Shar... yet I do
not understand why you answered in that manner. My real motives
are showing....??? my real motives are what is best for my
daughter PERIOD and nothing else... I NEVER said I did not want
to pay to support her, as I have supported her financially
since she was born. You mentioned what would happen if the ex
should expried unexpexctedly and my rights were gone. Well what
would happen if that did happen and I went to pick this child
up from her step-father. What psychological damage would that
cause on her... you can twist and turn my words all you want,
you can assume all you want about me and my motives. FYI, there
are absent fathers that do love their child(ren) and just want
what is best for them without having an alterior motive. I know
in my heart of hearts the reason I am seeking what I am seeking
and it is not for my benefit as you think. Another thing, the
step dad does want to adopt, but the ex won't let him as she
told me that all she cares about is making me pay.... Now tell
me who is really looking out for the best interest of their
child.
