As I've been doing this and that with the kids across the street, my mind keep s coming back to this thread. Three beautiful, beautiful children. The oldest is their biological child. He is kind, as gentle as he can be, smart, and special needs. The middle one is adopted. He is kind, a boys boy, smart. The youngest is also adopted. She is kind, a Moms delight, smart. And special needs. They range from 4-8. The younger two were adopted somewhere between 12-18 mos. Funny... Their parents (my friends/neighbors) never hid the fact that they were adopted. That they were born of someone else. It's not upsetting to them in the least.

Something to think about, OP.

Thank you to everyone who has actually tried to help without throwing insults. I'm not referring to being called a liar, well, because I have lied to an extent, but that doesn't make me a bad mother.. I love my kids to death and I have my reasons for not letting my child know who her real father is.. yet.. I will eventually let her know but for right now I don't want nor feel the need to tell my baby girl that her real dad is a druggie, criminal, thief who has been in and out of jail.. again, thank you to everyone who has actually offered advice

No need to tell your child that stuff.

Try this:

Baby, Your Father is having a hard time and couldn't, although he may have wanted to, be a "daddy" to you. Your Step-Father loves you so much...Just like you were his own child.
