Anyone know what the going rate is for toddler twins? You know, like of you wanted to keep a couple in your life. No?
I do.
Last week I heard from my lawyer, and apparently Sperm Donor is throwing in the towel – after a mere 9 months of not paying child support. It was either pay the support or go to jail or give up his rights. He’s choosing to give up his rights.
At first I was elated, and had no concept we would be at this point so early down the road towards the kids turning 18. I thought we would have years of fighting and back and forth to go through, but it boiled down to a total of 5 supervised visitations and 9 missed child support payments for him to finally give up and admit he could care less about Starfish and Sea Monkey.
Now, I’m feeling incredibly hurt for them. The twins have no concept of it now, for which I am forever thankful, but in the end their father sold them off to save his own hide – for only a few thousand dollars. He’s giving up these little people, whom I think are the most amazing people on the planet, rather than commit to supporting them in the smallest way possible. It’s awful.
So, the twins will soon be totally, completely MINE as long as a judge will sign off on the deal, which will take a couple weeks at least. Though it’s exactly what I always wanted, I’m still in shock.

Wow...
I don't know what else to say... just... wow... speechless. I understand completely where you're coming from, and I hurt for you and the twins, too. Particularly since my own niece and nephew might suffer same from their "sperm donor" sooner or later...
Nobody said getting what you want is easy. Think of you often.
WHAT a loser. What a fool. He is going to miss out on so much, and never even know it. The joy of those sweet kids, they are so gorgeous... I just don't know what to say.
He will wake up one day and regret it. He will.
I'm with LceeL -- He'll totally regret this one day and it will be too late.
Hang in there.
This makes me incredibly sad. While I know that the babies are likely better off not having that toxic man in their lives, it still sucks that he actually just threw in the towel.
I'm glad, though, that you won't have to deal with him or his issues any longer.
WOW! There are no words.
k...my "father" gave up his rights to my half sister, when she was young, like two. Her mother, remarried a very nice man that adopted my sister. To this DAY I KNOW she was better off that way, and now, she knows it too.
So bittersweet. ((hugs))
