[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom's friend was raped at 18, and got pregnant. The man who raped her was a stranger. This was 43 years ago. She kept the baby and raised him well. She did tell him when he was 17, and the guilt and pain almost destroyed him. He told her later that he wished she had just told him he was an illegitimate child. I mean if you are not 100% sure of this story, than why wold you burden your child with it? I think the fact that the birth mother gave her child up unselfishly instead of aborting it, and the beautiful person that DC became is the better message. Don't tell your DC that he/she was born of rape![/quote] +1 Don't tell. If you must give the kid a reason that his birth mother didn't keep him, just tell him that she didn't know the father and it was one night. [/quote]
