mouthy
i know about family "still in",my wife of 25 years & myself adopted our grandaughter @ birth.she is 10 years old now.she is "daddy's" girl to the max! we are mom & dad to her, even though she knows she is adopted.
my dad is still alive,elder for life, the last i heard & has never even attempted to meet my daughter,speak with her at all. she has always wanted to meet her "grandpa", all i can say is he lives far,far,far away. actually he lives in a "different world." i come from a rather large family,lots of siblings,raised in the "truth", most who have decided to live their lives without the ball & chains.
we all have "unconditional" love & respect for each other...........but not dear ol' dad, he practices the "true love of jehovah" and will not associate with his offspring for fear of having his faith challenged..........go figure
