She is 10 years old

And has never had any family except me. No grandparents, no aunts nor uncles, no cousins, no siblings. Just an unwed mother that loves her more than anything in this fucked up world.

He denied her at birth until i forced him to take a test. He has another daughter a month older. He signed over all his parental rights in exchange for no responsibility, visitation, or support.

Now he has changed his mind. Or maybe his parents changed it for him.
He doesnt know what sports she plays, what her favorite color is, what she doesnt like to eat, or anything else about her except her birthday. He doesnt know that she looks like him. But acts like me, he is gonna hate that. He doesnt even know how to spell her name.

I have battled with myself over what to do. I even considered moving and changing my name. You know that it costs less than $100 to change your name.

But i cant deny her what i have not been able to provide her with. I cant deny her to have a chance at a normal life with a family. I cant deny her the chance to know her father.

I can only pray that he has changed. That he isnt the rude, spoiled, selfish dick that he once was. He will have limited, paid supervised visitation with her until i can trust him. I just hope that i am making the right decision.
