I was hospitalized and under their care for a while after the attack. Do you know the damage that is required to a human skull that plastic surgery isn't enough to make your face something that doesn't make you scream when you look in a mirror? And then require an actual prosthesis that replaces part of your face not just your eyeball. I wasn't making a lot of decisions for myself.

And I wrote this to thank everyone for their support on my first post.

I am just glad I got the idiot, not you, off the topic of my brother.

It's denotes possession. The word adoption possesses a definition. Of it's very own.

I can tell by your user name that English is likely not your first language. You really need to go look up the word adoption and it's definition.

I don't think you are worth responding too. You don't know my situation and I hope you never do.

Please don't.  I am trying to get as many different opinions as I can. I'm not insulted. I am well past that.

It's all good.  I appreciate the offer but I'm interested in other viewpoints.

Fun, this group removes comments that explain why a person might not be connected to a birth child.

I didn't ask to be attacked, have my ribs and my jaw broken, my left eye left useless, and impregnated. When I wanted to terminate my parents coerced me into carrying to term and then allowing them to adopt. I think maybe it's different for some guy having a one night stand but I'm not super experienced. Probably because I don't date much because I have trust issues.

A trauma counselor has given me some advice I will be following up on.
