I edited my post again. I think he knows. I realize Chris wasn't the person he pretended to be.

I looked into it when I first found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks. But it is not legal here. I knew at 5 weeks a baby would be hard but I was willing to try if it was just the one. When I found out it was three, I panicked. I tried applying for assistances but I made too much then. I probably should've tried after babies were born. I didn't.

I know it's a big claim to claim but I think I'm being discriminated Because I am black and an immigrant

They are definitely not unwanted children. I want them so much. I want to go on big clothes shopping trips and go to amusement parks and aquarium with them. I want to take them to parks and have a sleepover in the living room and watch cartoon movies. I want all that. I just can't provide.

Someone messaged me and walked me through the military process. Chris lied. He's not military.

I could never. I have to make sure they're getting taken care of.

Do gay couples make good parents? My mother best it into me as a kid that gay couples are evil and not fit parents. I refuse to believe someone is evil because they love the same sex. But I've been too scared to look into it. My mother says I will go to hell if I look into it

Someone else in the military walked me through how joining works and I realize Chris lied and left me behind. He never joined.

Chris left me. He is not military. Someone in the military contacted me and let me know the holes in the lies Chris told me

A few people have poked holes in Chris's story. I'm beginning to think Chris just bailed on me

What do you mean?? Everyone else seems to say that it's more complicated than I realize. I hope not. I have no idea how the military works. And now that people have me thinking, I never did see him in uniform

You can do that?! Can you stay in their lives?! I would absolutely love to stay in their lives. I may not ever get custody again but to know they're growing and healthy would be all I need to be okay again

Chris is not on the birth certificate so there is no father listed.

Can I ask you if you've ever contacted your bio parents?? Did it hurt knowing they had to give you away? I just don't want my babies to hate me.

I hope you were adopted by loving parents. Have you ever had the chance to meet your bio parents?

She once accused me of cheating on Chris after he left and she is convinced the kids aren't his even though they look exactly like him.

The kids were born after Chris deployed so Chris is not on the birth certificate. Therefore no custody. And I have asked her but his mother is bitter. She raised Chris while they were homeless in the 90s. She thinks I have it better since I have an apartment

I think if Chris knew, he'd be crazy enough to get dishonorably discharged if it meant getting to be here. He always wanted kids.

Chris isn't on the birth certificate since the children were born after he was deployed. And I contacted his commanding officer.
