[QUOTE="klmno, post: 223768, member: 3699"] That thought has crossed my mind, too! I know people need help with kids who have issues, but it pains me when I find that in this state, you can get those if you are a foster parent, an adoptive parent, or on medicaid. If you are a middle class person raising your bio-child, you can't get help. At least, I'm having a pretty difficult time finding it. And, it's only on my salary that we're living. Why? because difficult child's father didn't claim fatherhood. Now, if I had needed medicaid or any state aid to help pay for taking care of the child, the state would have gone after him for support. But, since I didn't need or apply or qualify for state aid, then I would have had to hire investigators to track him down, take him to court, and have a blood test ordered, then take him to court for child support, just so he could get equal parental rights, whether or not he ever paid a dime he owed in child support. Did I do that? NO!! I figured my money was better spent on taking care of the baby. What a system... [/QUOTE]
