I don't give a flying frog about consequences from the sperm donor - the man's already abandoned his child, so trust me when I say he can take a long walk off a short pier as far as I'm concerned. I'd already considered forgery. The problem is, it has to be notarized... and THAT isn't forgeable (forgable?). I COULD probably find someone who was willing to do it out of the goodness of their heart, but that would take time, which I don't have.
HOWEVER!
I'm just going to go to registration tonight, act like I own the damn place, and register the child. I'll figure out the details later. I don't think anyone will challenge me. Us Deaf people are scary, y'know. *GRIN*
Rough day, angel. Although I have to completely sympathize with being trapped where you don't want to be, with people you don't like, helplessly dependent upon their car and mercy to get you where you were supposed to be. It's just a miserable feeling.
And while I know it's a headache for you, the flagrant leaving out of the porn is just such a bonehead teenager move that it made me laugh. That, and the desperation of the lie was pretty funny. It won't be funny when/if I ever have offspring to deal with, but it's funny with someone else.
I laugh because you can handle it, and they will turn out good in the end. You are too good to not produce good people.
My first instinct on reading Sam's answer was "he'll never work for the government." The government prefers that you tell the truth, even if it is self-incriminating. In both of my background checks (separate federal agencies) I have admitted to using marijuana and LSD in the past. It is in the past, and I don't use them anymore. (Okay, maybe a little pot once every three or four months, only among friends.) The government would rather know about your real history than see a squeaky-clean person, because nobody is that perfect and they know it.
So Sam's reaction is strange to me. Your consequences (bad for truth, very bad for lying) are totally appropriate, but he seems to have completely disregarded them. He can't get away with it every time, so why is he trying at all? He's shooting himself in the foot that way. I don't get it.
