[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to my Mom's friend. She wasn't too close to her but was good friends with her friends.

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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

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. [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

I am sorry if your family situation is not the best.  This doesn't change the truth that middle-class Thai people exist, and that millions of Thai people lead happy lives without dreaming of shipping their children to America. So, no, that wasn't her child's ONLY hope for a good life. [/quote]
