What a sad story.
Most adoptive parents love their children as much as most natural parents do. It’s sad that this father could never do that.
They were smart not to tell the guy when he was ill,what on earth good would it have done? None.

I agree. I knew about it for about five years myself. I would never have revealed it.
Children are so easy to love. All the kid needed was a friend. The father really blew it. It’s an opportunity to feel better about yourself, showing love to some other man’s kid. It’s not the kid’s fault.
As for adoptive parents, it’s amazing how fast they become fierce protectors of their adopted child.
My heart really goes out to some of the folks who serve in the Foster Parent program. They get attached. They see situations they can’t help. I’m sure it rips their guts out at times.
As is human nature, there are bad people in all walks of life, so I know there are horror stories too.
