Thank you soo much.

That is the scenario I keep playing over and over in my head. The part about how Daddy fell in love with both of us!!
To be honest I think that Daddy fell in love with my son before me which is part of why I love my husband soo much!

I have sought legal representation and in this state it is pretty difficult to get a fathers rights revoked without including an adoption from another man. I am not sure if that is the right thing to do. As my son gets older and he asks these questions.... Part of me wants to allow my son to make that decision instead of me making it for him.

For now I am going to concentrate on the part of trying to get my son to understand everything with as little emotional & mental turmoil as possible.

Thanks again!

And the biological father really is missing out. I have learned however that the biological father now has a two year old with a very young woman and he has custody of the child.... That means that my son has a half brother in another state that he knows nothing about. I think this issue will be dealt with much later!!
