Hello,
I'm a 27 year old female, I live in Los Angeles and I'd like to adopt a gay dad.
I know this might sound a little strange, it is I guess a little strange. So, I'll explain it from the top.
Get ready for some reading!
My parent's divorced when I was only 5 months old. My mother won custody and to my father's great remorse I never really spent any time with him.
My mother, who I know now suffered from bipolarism, went out of her way to vilify my father. Calling him a rapist, physically abusive, basically she said some very horrible things to me about my father when I was too young to really process the information. So, I grew up in total fear of him.
My mother moved me to Los Angeles when I was 8. I didn't really see or hear from my dad again. When I was 20 my mother committed suicide, this left me free to find my father and really meet him. My father is a wonderful man. He's sweet, he loves me, he regrets all the time we didn't get to spend together. My dad is also a Jehovah's witness, a very devout one. I am a convert to Judaism. This is very upsetting for my father, it basically means to him that I'm dead. Unwilling to except "the truth".
I don't hate my father, we're just two very different people and I'm at an age when my life is starting to change. I'm beginning my adult life, my real adult life. My boyfriend is now my fiancee, my apartment is now my house, my job is now my career. I'd like a dad around for all of this.
My father has told me that he will not walk me down the aisle due to his religious beliefs. I don't think he's a monster, but I do wish that I had a father around who could really be a part of my life.
My goal is to find a surrogate father. Someone who would love to walk me down the aisle, be a grandpa to my future kids, talk about politics, see exhibits at the MOCA, invite to dinner once in awhile, go walking with me and my dogs and be a part of my life. Also, let me be a part of yours.
I hope I'm not disrupting anyone and I hope I'm not offending anyone. I'm open to any feedback anyone would like to give me. Also, just for the record, I'm not looking for money or anything like that and I'm not looking for a legal "adoption" just a personal relationship.
I hope I'm not leaving anything too important out. Feel free to mail me with any questions I probably missed. I appreciate your attention.
Thanks!
Sally
