Re: Why Won't He Let Me Find My Biological Father?

Never met my dad and don't know who he is. My mom was taken in very easy, especially in her younger days. My grandparents took me in at the age of 2 to keep human services off my mom's back. Although, I don't feel bitter I still have to sometimes manage my emotions. We can all get the "woe is me" complex, but all things work together for the good. I am thankful to had grandparents who brought me up in the fear of the Lord. It is a little late in life for me to worry about my dad, my children need me to be a strong stable dad. God has helped me to be a father in my home.

I have been married for almost 14 years and have two wonderful children, but a person has to make up their mind that they aren't going to go down that road their parents lived on. We must pattern our lives in a way that pleases God.

JD, seems like you have done well in spite of the absence of your father. You must trust that all things do things work together for the good. You are the person you are today because of the roads you have been down. No matter how you started you can finish strong.

Re: Why Won't He Let Me Find My Biological Father?

We just adopted a baby who just turned 1. We fostered him for 10 months until then. He is family of my wife but his biological parents are both druggies.

His dad is black and mom is Mexican.

His dad is a drug dealer that they call snow. Doesn't want the responsibility of another baby, he is also a pimp. Has several women in his "stable".

What would you suggest we do with this awesome little baby? We have collected some newspaper clippings so when he gets older we can tell him if he asks but......

If God has not let you know then maybe you don't want to. Thank God for the kind parents He did give you and live for Him in obedience to the Word. In ALL things give thanks.

Jermyn, it is vile out there. Thank God you were raised in Church.

My Mom plainly told me that he wasn't a good man.

Still, I want to know him, for him to know me, to see what he looks like, get to know all about him, hug him, love him... hoping he will want to know me, know about me, love me.

I think I share too much on here-- real name and all... LOL

I sat through the service.

At the end of the service, I went up for prayer and requested the Pastor to pray with me about finding him.

"I will remain confident in this I will see the goodness of the Lord!"

Truth is, I have seen His Goodness in so many other ways!


Yesterday, after paying my tithes and contributing to the offering, the Lord blessed me and allowed me to earn additional $100.00+ in about 5 hours!

That extra $100.00 was a prayer that GOD ANSWERED that I prayed after church! I prayed for the Lord to allow me to earn an extra $100.00 that afternoon, between 3:00pm and 11:30pm.

Driving for UBER part-time, it is not easy for me to earn that on a Sunday evening without anything special going on. It definitely is NOT my norm.

I made over $200.00 driving before and after church on Sunday-- yesterday!

That extra $100.00 was a prayer that GOD ANSWERED for me and I am grateful!

Try courier work. If you have good gas mileage and know all the shortcuts, you can make good money.

That's something to look into. With Uber there's a lot of trial and error. Times. Locations. Etc.
It is interesting... some people will tell you their life story. Others will sit staring at the screen of their phones.
