Hey im 17/f my dad signed over his rights when i was about 2 years old. Then i had my moms husband adopt me, but its a long story. But anyways the last time i talked to my dad was when i was about 6. I want to send him a letter letting him know a little bit of stuff about me. But im not really sure exactly what to say or write. He's been in and out of jail a couple times but i think he cleaned up his act. I just need to know what to write in a letter. Please and thank u (link)

He might have seen that as the best choice for you and him at the time, for ‘many’ different reasons. Go ahead and find out who he is. Just be careful, don’t get to involved to quick. You are 17, so you are who you are, but still a little sheltered, from adult issues that can influence the rest of your life. Do this for your own piece of mind. Lots of people are in and out of jail, but for what reasons. Tell him what you want to do (your goals). Tell him what you want from him/ not sure what he wants. Tell him what colleges your considering and what you want to go to school for (even if your not sure yet). Make it an inviting letter, not to shun him for his choices. I have known a few men who have signed over rights for many reasons, main reason being: better life for there child without confrontation/ or out of complete shock…wanting a better life for there child, kind of like a mother who chooses adoption. They are young and not ready, or just plain not stable.
