    When I was a teen, I discovered about my biological father from my birth-certificate. I searched his whereabouts and found out where he lived. I went to see him at his home and told him "I'm your son" and he replied "No, you're not my son. I have a new family now. Don't ever come here again"... I guess the reality is not always a fairytale.

    When you have a child, never abandon it or leave its side no matter how tough the circumstances are. Be a mother, a father to your child. It's cruel and unethical to bring a soul into life and than find tons of excuses for it. To me its ALWAYS the parents fault, period.
