Yeah it’s crazy some of the stories I’ve seen about how a guy doesn’t consider his step kids his own even though he’s raised them since birth. Or find out that the kid wasn’t his due to a mix up of infidelity. Or says that he could never love an adopted child “because it’s not his blood running through their veins”.
Im floored too that quite a few guys think this way, and I’ve heard it from their mouths. I’m very much “blood does not a family make”. But these people think you have to have some chromosomal relation to feel a bond.
I am sorry I worded my comment so harshly, it was not my finest moment.
I was agitated from another thing in my life and lashed out randomly, I am sorry.
I had since deleted it and hoped it was never seen.
I am very much with you on the topic at hand, blood does not necessarily make great families and great families can be made without blood relations.
