My darlingest daddy wrote this poem and put it in the births section of the paper when he adopted me:

Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own!
Now don't you forget it,
No not for a minute -
You weren't born under my heart but in it!

I had the honour and privilege of being chosen as a daughter by one of the most incredible men I have ever met, loved and nurtured and cherished every single day of my life! I got a valentines card every year til I got married and my dad is still my go-to guy whenever I need a cuddle or advice or a laugh (well whenever DH isn't available ). I'm just so blessed that I've found a man that actually measures up to him and in turn has taken on my baby as his very own. Hold out for the right guy Nathansmummy coz it is so worth it - for you AND your baby!

My Dad remarried when I was 35 and I found it confusing.

I am(/was?) a single mama and never found it a problem to date guys or have boyfriends. Well, not to get dates... actually figuring out where to find a babysitter or find a family friendly way to spend time together was a little more difficult!!

But yeah, as lots of other people have said, it sorts out people that aren't worth your time. Not to say that it's easy though!

I've now found a rad guy who I've been with for two years and who I'd like to stick with. He's the first guy that I've let take on some of the parenting responsibility. The other 2 (serious) boyfriends I've had, I wasn't prepared to let them have that sort of relationship with my daughter. I was still a single parent, even though I had a partner. Now I consider myself a co-parent.


Anyway, it's an ongoing learning curve. This co-parent business is a lot different to the freedom of single parenting!!
