  I believe that Todd had a wake up call on his behavior with women and he really doesn't want to fess up.  He really should think of how his actions hurt these women. It can be seen that he is surely hurt by what was written about him on Tasha's web site. 

Maybe he should have some good old fashion counseling to get to the root of his problem. 

If he wants to be a lawyer, I am sure that it really isn't going to matter of his sexual preference or his medical history.  It is going to matter how he preforms in the courtroom. A  lawyer makes a name for himself by his work ethics. 

As for his lawsuit, he is in the wrong and going forward he is only going to draw more attention to himself and this situation. If he wants to correct the matter, he needs to drop the suit and log in and make his own opinion heard on Tasha's website. 

I would have never have known about this matter if I had not watched it on the Dr. Phill Show.  So Todd brought all this attention on himself to how many millions of viewers.

This is such an unfortunate situatuion! However, how can someone just walk away from a little girt that he raised for 10 years?  If it were not for Erique's new wife, he would still believe that Selina was his daughter.  If he questioned her paternity it should have certainly been at birth.  Not 10 years later!  You can not just stop being a father as he did.  Yes Maria may have not been truthful from the beginning but why punish a child for her mothers doings, and this seems just what Mia wants Erique to do.  Yet Selina is the one whom has taken the punishment.  Erique should pay child support for Selina and continue to do so and be her father until she was of legal age and then discuss with her the situation should it arose. 

I particularly did not like Carnell Smith.  Why did he fight his ex after 11 years of child support, what was his excuse for not doing so immediately when the child was born?

Any man whom has acted as a father to a child for x-amount of YEARS should certainly continue to do so.  If there should be any reason of disbelief of paternity it should be taken care of within the first 2 years of life, not a decade later...... 

 Sorry for all you men out there that may have this problem, but for any reason of disbelief take care as soon as possible.  We have to MANY children in this country that the fathers evade child support and there are far to many children in this country that will never know whom their fathers are because of the mothers many partners and unable to find the true paternity.  Whom pays for all of these children?  We do, the taxpayers!

This is surely a selfish act by Esther or was it by her parents?????? Or both?

It seems that Esthers father controlled the entire pregnancy and is having the last laugh at Bryce.

According to the National Council for Adoption (NCA).  Less than one percent of adoptions are contested by Biological fathers and mothers.  Less than ONE percent.  Well it looks as if Bryce falls into this one percent.  Oregon Courts should take this into consideration.  Regardless of his past, shouldn't he be given the right to be a father to this baby girl.  After all if Bryce and Esther were still together he would have been given this chance.  Who are we to say he is unfit because of his past.  He was never given the opportunity. Who knows, he may be an excellent Dad.

One word for Bryce,  please give yourself a certain time to fight but don't let this court issue turn into the court issue as the well publicized case of Baby Jessica in 1993.  She was 2 years old when it tore everyone's heart as they watched on the news of her be taken from the only parents she knew (from Michigan) and returned to her biological parents in Iowa.

And then again in Chicago in 1995 when 4 year old Richard was taken from his adoptive parents and returned to his biological parents. 

It was mentioned that these children were doing just fine and adjusting well to their knew environments. Were they scarred emotionally? Really only time will tell as they are now nearly adults themselves.  How will they act as they become parents. Will this bring back the memories of their return, the ones that have been forgotten. Only time will tell. 

Good Luck Bryce!  Your baby girl certainly needs you on her side!
