    ACCIDENT--again, something you didn't plan. That doesn't mean the consequences of it aren't good, though. The microwave oven was discovered "on accident".
    But I don't regret nothing, all I regret is the guy I had sex with. I wish it was not a deadbeat (I didn't no at the time) and someone who would have been there, but me getting pregnant was not a regret at all, as it turned me into a decent person. I can raise my child well. She is the smartest I have MET. She just turned 3. She knows alphebet, count to 20, all her colors, sings all the kids songs, knows all her shapes including hexagon pentagon, she knows her my cell number in case something goes wrong, she talks like you and I, so if you were stating I regret that I can't raise her, your wrong.

    You misunderstood. Synnen placed her daughter for adoption, which is why she said she regrets not being able to raise her daughter. She was not referring to you.

    That's why I keep saying you need to calm down. You're taking everything as a personal attack and nobody is attacking you whatsoever.

    Wise advice, indeed - when the OP gets defensive everything else flies out the window and everyone here is a volunteer, doing the best he/she can.

    This is WAY out of the Family Law category now.

    Maybe OP should move to relationship/adoption board -

    Hey now---there's nothing about adoption in here except my comparison about word definitions!

    I do think the legal question has been answered, though.
