This is a curious thing for me. Did none of you ever hear your parents having sex? I'm certain our kids have heard it. We don't hide it, nor are we embarrassed by it. Sex is a healthy part of a marriage, and my kids know that. They have since they were fairly young. If they're sneaking around and end up hearing their parents having sex, that's on them.

Also, my parents' room was on the other side of the house. I do recall one time going into cuddle and my Mom had to reach down and grab her night gown off the floor. I remember thinking something was up, something was abnormal but I let it go as it was 2am probably. So other than that and my Dad filming my Mom's butt on family camping videos that we just laughed about as kids. I know realize my Dad was a horn dog and knew exactly how far he could go and get away with it.

In about 3rd grade I accidentally walked in on my parents. I will never forget that ugly, fuzzy, bright pink sweater my mother was wearing as she sat atop my father.

In my early teens I heard my parents doing it through a wall. My bedroom was on the other side of the wall from theirs. Nothing kinky, just moaning. Around that time I snopped around they house a lot and found some random porn and basic sex toys.

My current house has an open floor plan and sound travels like a mofo. My kids will eventually hear us, is only a matter of time.

I walked in on my parents too. They had a good sized room at the end of a short hall that shared a wall with their walk in closet, so my burned in retinal/mental image of my mom on her knees in front of my dad is thankfully without much detail.

My kids have gotten into our closet where we store our sex toys. I just thought it was hilarious. They shouldn't be in my shit anyway, fuck around and you might see the stuff I put in your mom's ass when I tie her up and fuck her. We're pretty good about locking the door but I am certain they've heard us. I don't really care though, they're fine. They know that we fuck a lot and are irresponsible and that's why we have 3 kids so close together and then no more forever.

So, just got a message on an adoption web site from someone who might be one of my biological parents. Not sure if scammer or not, but I replied back and asked for verification of the very few details I know about my biological mom. If they are legit I really do want to thank them for giving me life. Feels weird.

Good luck with that Bro! I have a good buddy that reconnected with some Bio family and it has been awesome for him. I wish the same for you!

On that note, I was gonna hold off until after the final walk-through home inspection next week, but I can't keep it in. I am too excited. My Wife and I should be getting our Foster Parent Licenses in June. Hoping to adopt a little girl between 6 to 9, we have discussed going as young as 4 too.

Our pool of girls will be a little bit limited as we are only looking to adopt a girl that is free and clear. Meaning their parents and all family are totally out of the picture. The goal of the state is always to reunite with the the Bio-Parent(s) and expect Foster Parents to have that same goal. I told them I did not want to be disingenuous in this process and I would have a hard time rooting for the Bio-Parent. You have to fuck up pretty bad to lose your kid to the state. I am sorry but I could not have a child in my home fall in love with them only have them given back to their Bio-Parent who statistically will fuck up again. So we removed that part of the journey and said free and clear only, hence the possibility of going down to age 4 to widen our pool of girls.

Hey man that's great. I have a great amount of respect for people that foster (with good intentions, which I am sure you two have).

My brother in law was denied because he USED to buy weed from a dealer instead of legally

My mother worked as a social worker in child protective services for years before moving in to the role of foster care placement case worker later.

I really learned to appreciate what I had as a kid. There were times when she worked in CPS on call that I would ride with her because the police were typically slower to respond to a call... So yeah had my eyes opened up around 17 as to just how fucked up some people’s lives are.

Much respect for being willing to provide for a kid that desperately needs to know they matter.

Thanks! Got a reply back already, and I think this might be my biological mom. Same age and hair color and at the right hospital on the right day. Will be interesting to see how this goes.

Please report back. I'm so hoping this goes really well for you. What a wonderful and rewarding thing it could be to find your biological mom. I'm really happy for you!

First, you are awesome people for doing this. Second, 4 year old are girls about the most adorable things in the universe. Mine is 5 and a half; this is a really special age.

My niece and nephew that we have guardianship of both diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder this week. These poor kids, things have been so tough for them and now we find out definitively they are disabled indefinitely. It's not a surprise but still such a gut punch, knowing they are likely to spend much of their lives fighting with this and who knows what additional development issues may surface as a result.

Even if their dad got his shit together in a year or two I have to wonder if a court would even let him take the kids back, given how little they did for them when they had them despite obvious problems. Meanwhile my sister insists she didn't drink while she was pregnant "except for the first pregnancy, I didn't know I was pregnant and we drank a lot..." proceeded by even louder claims contradicting that and saying she didn't drink at all, in the same breath. She also wants a second opinion, doesn't like that the school district was involved (referred by school nurse, leveraging a partnership with UNLV for this purpose) or that it was done at UNLV (a FASD Diagnostic Clinic), complaining that their normal pediatrician didn't do the test. What a joke.

Two of my stepbrothers have FASD. I don't want to scare you, and I don't know what you've looked up, but they've both got some problems. One of them is stuck in the mind of a 13 year old despite being 37. He's actually funny to hang out with, but you get tired of him very quickly. He gets a lot of state help with money, so he's able to hold a part time job and have an apartment. My stepfather actually adopted him when he was young and controls his finances. He could've just dropped him when he was 18, but he's been really good to him.

The other one, his older brother is far worse. His mind is somemwhere around the same level, but he's in and out of jail all the time. Mostly stealing and identity theft. A real piece of shit.

I do think most of that comes from environment though. The older brother was raised in an institution for reasons I don't really want to say.

Good luck man, you're doing God's work.

I got to meet my Son yesterday for the first time. What a great year. I met my daughter last June.

0 to 2 kids in under a year.

First one was 10 years of IVF.
I guess it fixed what ailed us, knocked up my wife the first chance Natural style.

What a crazy world. 2 kids under 1 while in our 40s.

Glad I started working out and lost 60 lbs over the last 18 months!

Oblio · May 29, 2020

Quick update, we passed the Home Inspection earlier this week and now it is just a waiting game for the State to finish all the licensing paperwork. We have turned everything in with the exception of the docs they will be sending us to sign. On track for June Licensing!

Think about yourself, your patience, your wisdom and your priorities 20 years ago. Now think about them 10 years ago. I bet you would agree with me that you 100% are in a better place to be a better Dad now versus either of the last two decades. Gratz on the weight loss that is huge and enjoy the kiddos!

I am curious what your perspective is/was as the step-brother growing up with them in the same house I assume? Would you say it was an overall positive experience for you that gave you some perspective on life at a young age? Or was it terrible and exposed you to shitty things at too young of an age? Or fill in the blank?

Please take your time and give me as much info as you are willing to share. Something that has been in the back of my mind through this whole process is how will this affect my Bio-Kids?
