Dad’s spoiled lil’ princess.
She was adopted. Better yet, she was only half adopted.
Most adopted children get over that fact when they are apprised of it, and their love for the family they were brought up in is not diminished.
What a drama queen.
She dishonors her parents.
me too. look I’m not crazy about all these things and I wouldn’t urge anyone to use them. But I don’t see what “harm” was done to this woman. she exists, her dad loved her, she has a husband and children.
Cheer up lady, there’s a lot of people in the world with real problems.
Fantastic article Morgana. Post more please. :)
you said that far better than I could have. Thanks!
I never knew my bio. Father (his choice) after divorce he disappeared, when I was 6 months old. My Mon remarried 2 years later.
I was curious I guess probably felt abandoned finally went looking in my late 30s.
Short story, after I found him I wish I hadn’t. I never really appreciated my step dad and his family until then. I made sure they knew I did after that.
I have a big problem with this. The author acts like the donees are oppressed by the multi-billion dollar donor industry. No one will ever donate a sample if the sanctity of contract is violated and they will later be liable for child support. This has actually happened in the occasional lesbian child/friendly male donor, where child support was mandated. If this becomes common jurisprudence rather than a decision based on unusual circumstances, fuggedabout it.
no he isn’t your “Daddy”, he only walked the floors with you.
No, he isn’t your “Daddy”, he only taught you how to ride a bike.
No, he isn’t your “Daddy”, tho you admit to being a “Daddy’s girl”
Good God woman, grow the hell up, you’re giving real women a bad name.
Get a grip woman.. I work with a lot of kids that would love to have the father that lovingly raised you. Instead of whining, get on your knees and thank God for the blessing He gave you.
Has she thought about how much effort the donor invested? Five minutes, a plastic cup, and a playboy. Versus how much the man that raised her invested in her. What a twit.
Over 40% of children in the US are born out of wedlock. Most of them never get a dad. And she’s complaining that she had a good dad to help raise her?
Toughen up girl. Life is going to throw much harder stuff than that at you.
Being a confirmed bachelor who considers having a pet cat the most parental responsibility I’d ever want, I’m not exactly an expert here.
Still, it seems even to me that this woman was raised by two loving, responsible people who considered her their own flesh and blood and raised her as such. A lot of people in this world don’t get that. Instead of harping over whose DNA helped conceive her, perhaps she should simply honor the man who was her father in all the ways that truly matter.
Call the waaaambulance! What a pathetic person, she had a loving FATHER that’s more than a lot of kids get even when they know the sperm donor. What a slap in the face of the MAN who WANTED her and loved her despite the fact he wasn’t the biological father.
“The shock turned into depression, as she began to mourn what she had lost. “I was a daddy’s girl. I had a great childhood, and was the apple of my non-biological dad’s eye. [I] adored my dad,” said Blessing, a homeschooling mother of five, who lives in Tennessee. “
Lucky you! Some kids would love to have someone to be “Daddy’s girl” even if not biologically.
Some people just want a reason to whine.
You beat me to it.
Yup.
I didn’t find out my grandfather was my mother’s stepdad until I was 12. I didn’t resent, I just thought “WOW!!! This guy who I adore and who obviously adores me doesn’t have to!?!?!?!”
Biology my a&&.
