2/2 for clarity as it seemed as though she had targeted a particular brother that she thinks would be my father. Instead of writing back, she replied all with this new guyโ€™s email. AND THATโ€™S IT. It seems like theyโ€™re all trying to force him to deal with me. ๐Ÿซข๐Ÿ˜ต I think heโ€™s gay & lives in Key West?

Ancestry | Family Tree, Genealogy & Family History Records Ancestryยฎ helps you understand your genealogy. A family tree takes you back generationsโ€”the world's largest collection of online family history records makes it easy to trace your lineage.

1/2 So itโ€™s been crickets on my alleged birth fatherโ€™s side (per ancestry.com). But I also dropped that email thread do a while to clear up and confirm that my named birth fatherโ€™s side really isnโ€™t connected to me. They arenโ€™t. Not a sliver of DNA. So I email this new aunt, sharing as much- asking

Uhm, so whereโ€™s the online support group for #thepitt? This last season one episode is giving me major 9/11 flashback of working the family center. Although this shit is calm compared to 9/11. Thereโ€™s probably a Reddit?

I just had a dream where ACS was trying to give me a newborn that theyโ€™ve had for a week & when I asked about formula type they said they only give her water & OJ. I had to find my pediatrician friend at a party to write a script for formula & another script that said NO WATER, NO ORANGE JUICE.

Clem asked to be a boy for Halloween and asked to spend her money on โ€œboy underwearโ€ that she would โ€œhide under my bed from my sisterโ€ and โ€œjust try it on.โ€ Then she pulled up some boxers on Amazon and absolutely demanded I order them. I was all โ€œGirls can wear boxers, itโ€™s no big deal.โ€ ๐Ÿฅธ

Just started watching #thepitt. Ep 3 and Iโ€™m horrified by how Dr. Robbie if offering up the social worker to all of the staff. Uhm, hospital mental health doesnโ€™t treat staff for goodness sake. Youโ€™ve already referred most of the ED to her- staff need their own therapists! Boundaries, people. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ

Bronx mom starved her twin sons, 14, shut them inside home for 9 years: DA A Bronx mother was arrested for starving her twin teenage sons, who she kept โ€œvirtually houseboundโ€ inside her Riverdale apartment for 9 years, Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark announced Tuesday. ...

Everytime one of these cases pops up I say there are dozens more out there. The homeschooling requirements are nil. NYCโ€™s childrenโ€™s constitutional right an education has been all but eliminated. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

What a time to be alive. Our parents & grandparents couldnโ€™t have fathomed DNA revealing all their secrets. Never before in history and everyone going forward will know that paternity, maternity and lineage will eventually be known.

Hi Amy! Oh, is that Rickyโ€™s last name? I really donโ€™t have your email. We always communicated on Facebook which I donโ€™t use. Can you private message it to me here, or on Twitter? I can go back to check it there. Do you have mine? Itโ€™s just my full name at Gmail.
