Single mom refuses to let absent father back in daughter's life
Being a single mom is hard, and being a single teen mom is even harder. But for this 23-year-old mother, raising her daughter on her own was worth it. When her ex, Jake, left her after finding out she was pregnant, she made the decision to raise her daughter alone.
Fast forward eight years, and her fiance is now asking to adopt her daughter. But when Jake comes back into the picture, asking to see his daughter, the mother refuses to let him back in. Despite her family and friends pressuring her to let him see her, she stands by her decision. Is she in the wrong in this situation?
Read on to find out what happened when Jake finally got a chance to meet his daughter, and how the mother's fiance is now going through with the adoption process.
