[QUOTE="MrShooter, post: 1851181, member: 14771"] I'm married with 2 kids (I'm not the biological father). I stepped up to take care of my kids and have been the only real dad they've ever had. So as far as I'm concerned, they are mine. I feel that you need to really consider what could happen when you step into a relationship like that in which you have no legal right to them after a divorce. It's harsh but this is a topic that is better not "sugar-coated". If you didn't adopt the child then you're kinda screwed... I didn't adopt my two yet but I haven't had the $2500 each to do so. I can't imagine the pain you're in from this, but the only thing I can think of try very hard to stay good friends with your ex wife do you can explain to her how you feel and maybe she will setup time to spend with the unadopted child or maybe offer to adopt/pay child support so you have legal right. But seriously, I feel for you man. I really do. I wish you the best and will pray for your peaceful resolution of this dilemma. It may work out well if you stay calm and focused on a positive outcome. [/QUOTE]
