[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Veronica is 1/64th Cherokee. It's one thing to argue on behalf of the bio dad, but it's another thing to pretend like 1/64th of her background is somehow relevant to determining the rest of her life.[/quote] Yea I am less concerned about the Native American issue (though I do understand it), but the bottom line is that man should be allowed to raise the daughter he fathered. I think that the Native American strategy was used because they (he and his legal team) thought it was the strategy most likely to prevail. Guess they did not think the Supreme Court would be so stupid.[/quote] I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I wholly believe biological dads should be given the opportunity to raise their child, but Mr. Brown didn't really seem enthusiastic about his ex's pregnancy or birth, or retaining parental rights. Perhaps he changed his mind, but it seems like his mind-change was more motivated by control and "winning" than really sincerely caring about what's best for the girl. He made his choices. He can't suddenly decide when he wants to be a parent. I was raised by a single dad, and I'm glad that we had him. But I can't imagine growing up knowing how my dad flip-flopped about wanting to be involved in us. The Capobiancos always wanted Veronica, and I feel like it's in her best interest to remain with her now legal parents. [/quote] Baby you never know what was going on in your parents' minds -- there may be a lot of flip-flopping in their minds you are not privvy to. So what he did not support her doing the pregnancy -- that makes him a bit of jerk perhaps --- but bio mom is on angel either. As for giving up rights -- he asserts that, in preparation for deployment, he thought he was assigning custody and not terminating his rights. Either way that baby was still an infant when he sought custody. This birth mom played a lot of dirty tricks, not answering messages, not notifying dad of the birth ,etc. She did the same thing to her other baby daddies. Bottom line -- the man stepped up early in the game and he deserves to have his child. A lot of these people who say he should not are judging not on his ability to parent -- but because they don't think he was nice to his girlfriend. Geez - these people are the ones most concerned about winning.[/quote] Why would you legally relinquish custody for deployment? What is the logic behind this? Calling the bio dad a "jerk" is putting it lightly - it wasn't just his ex that he wasn't supporting during the pregnancy, but his daughter. The problem is that he took out whatever his issues/anger/ego wanted on the baby, by way of the bio mom. That's a really massive fucked up thing to do. No, he did not "step up early in the game." That's not how parenting works. You don't get to decide when you want to step up. You don't get to decide "well, ok, now I'm ready" and expect there to be nothing lost. He fucked up majorly. That's no one's fault but the bio dad.[/quote] Einstein you are legally required to do so temporarily You act like the birth mother is a saint She is not She put this whole thing in play[/quote]
