[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happy V is home with my friends. Matt and Mel never had any doubts about the responsibilities of parenthood, unlike Brown.[/quote] Agreed. At least the Capobiancos are not flip-floppers when it comes to deciding they want to be hands on.[/quote] He had no options. Its not like dad's get automatic custody when kids are born. He was active duty and about to be deployed. They are required to sign consents for custody before deploying. Its normal. My husband did it for us as he had to show proof.[/quote] Yes, he had plenty of options, and he could have been actively involved in the pregnancy. I understand that Dusten Brown has regrets, and wishes he did things differently. That's fair and it's easy to be sympathetic. But he made willful decisions, and though he regrets them now, is NO reason to put anyone else through trials and pains because of HIS decisions. Regret is one thing. Blaming others for your personal regrets is something else entirely. [/quote] He tried to be active in the pregnancy and the birthmother refused, probably knowing she needed to in order to place for adoption. You cannot force a mother to allow the father to be involved in the pregnancy. Except for medical and possibly food, the mother will not incur any additional costs that she should require financial support (in less on bed rest or high risk pregnancy). Obviously you nor friends/family have not been in a nasty divorce situation as a dad who has no rights as he is dad and not mom.[/quote] Wrong. Saying "marry me or I'm taking a backseat" is not being "active" in a pregnancy. It's extremely manipulative. I was raised by a single dad. I have a lot of sympathy for them, but this is case of an asshole and idiot blaming everyone but himself. This is not a case of "father's rights," even though there may be legitimate other cases out there. But this isn't one of them. [/quote]
