Well, Thanksgiving 2020 is now a memory whether you had a wonderful day or just another ordinary 24 hours.

Danny and Dawn Curtis always wanted a large family. They already had two sons when they saw a photo album of Arkansas children in foster care waiting to be adopted. They fell in love with the picture of a young girl and learned that she had three brothers. After much discussion and prayer, they adopted the sibling group and turned their family of four into a family of eight.

Contrary to what some people think, fathers have no parental rights to children who are born out of wedlock. Whether the dad’s name is on the birth certificate is inconsequential. Starting out, the birth mother for children born out of wedlock is the full custodial parent. She can decide whether to give the dad visitation, or whether to block him completely. The police will not get involved.
