In reply to someone who shared the challenges they faced in their childhood: I lived a pretty sheltered life. I didn’t have nearly as many of the challenges you had growing up. But there’s something I envy about your story. Maybe it’s my messiah complex… that I’m a caretaker by nature. I wish I had
Most of us remember where we were on the day of the September 11, 2001 attacks. But do you remember the day before? The innocence and security we felt? The world changed on 9/11. The children we love will never experience the world as we did before that fateful day. I watched a video created
It’s not fair. I saw new pics of her today. She’s growing up. Without me. She’s got boobs now. Looks like her mom. So fuckin beautiful. And I just don’t understand why I can’t be in their lives. Why I can’t be in her life? It’s not fair. I’m so lost.

There was a girl I used to fool around with when we were in high school. Her name was Chelsea. She lived with her mom, and dad was almost never around. She knew about my orientation. She told me she had a 10 year old half sister who lived with her dad. She said I
We’re here to protect children and make them happy. Unlike adult relationships, we don’t get to commit ourselves to one child. Over the years we’ll have multiple children whom we’ll meet and hopefully leave a positive impact on. But they’ll eventually outgrow us. But hopefully they’ll look back fondly on the time we shared. It’s
In reply to a MAP who was worried about a relationship going wrong. You can never choose who you fall in love with. Just like you can’t force yourself to fall in love when the emotion isn’t there. Love is a strange emotion. I think many of us here have gone through much of what
