This woman, her husband and teenaged daughter moved somewhere in SE Asia, maybe Thailand. After a few years, they move back to DC and they've 'adopted' a baby. Everyone thought it was weird to suddenly adopt when you have a teenager. The rumor mill was it was the daughter's baby (she would have been 12-13 when the baby was born).

But as it turns out, it was the DH's with his Thai mistress. The DW adopted it and raised it as her own. Last I heard she and DH were still together.

In all seriousness, no sarcasm, this wife is a winner. She clearly understands the fate of her husband's child if she does nothing. I give her high marks for clarity, compassion, and composure.

Eh, I've lived in this part of the world and I hope you are right. The wife is either saintly for raising this child when the child may have had no one, OR they could very well be people who essentially pressured this child to be given up by the mother "you can give her less, we can give her so much more" etc , when any decent man would be paying $ for the child either way. I hope that not the case but it's not unheard of for these situations to be a horrible choice for the mother to feel giving away her child is the only hope for a good life

The horrible choice the mother made was to sleep with a married guy. All other bad choices followed.

Please don't act like having to feel like you had to never see your child again in order to give them a better life is even close to being fucked around on.

Who GIVES a shit what happens to the feelings of a woman who has a child with a married man? Seriously, who gives a shit? I certainly don't.

And I actually say this while married to a man whose mother had him and his brother with (the same) married man. Yup, they were the secret family. And guess what? When he died in his late 50's before handling a will to accommodate them, they were left penniless. I actually like my mother in law, and like her more because she doesn't complain about the bed she very clearly made for herself. You reap what you sow.

Oh, and btw, I'm a new poster. For the record.

It is highly probable that the Thai girl did not know the man was married until after the conception. This is a very common scenario with these sex tourist cheater types.

She wouldn't have cared if she did know. She wanted an American sugar daddy.

Not a sex tourist. He moved there for his job and brought his wife and teenager with him.

Don't be silly. People have babies and keep them in Thailand every day. There's tons of rich and middle-class people in that country. It's not exactly a den of wretchedness. If you want to give your child a good life, an excellent start would be to have them within a marriage, so what's with pretending that the child's mother is a victim? She made a very bad choice. That's the truth. No one can force you to give up your child if you don't want to, and if you think having lots of stuff is a better life than growing up with your own mother, then maybe the mother deserve the sadness that comes with losing her child.

This is the prior poster ("In all seriousness"). We are in fact a local Thai family and you are poorly informed and should not speak about what you do not know. So no, I am not being silly. Sadly, it is you. Have a heart.

^ PP, these women don't have a heart. This part of the thread is just disgusting.

I have no pity AT ALL for spoiled, smug idiots who want to villainize this woman who gave up her daughter to what sounds like a rather manipulative man. FUCK YOU and work on being a little honest about the vulnerabilities in your own marriage, you insecure cows.

Or so we think.

My prediction is that she will not move to DC. They are already living separate lives.

That wife that took the child away from it's Thai mother sounds far from "saintly"

Or she was a desperately poor woman whose family had driven her into sex work, and whom she was supporting by being what you would call a mistress in this country. She got exploited from start to finish.

My ex got a std from an affair that is linked to cervical cancer. If she ever gets it only she and I will know the connection.

And no, I do not wish that on her even though she tried to blame it on me.

I also have my doubts as to whether she was over 18.
