A well adjusted, happy child takes a lot of work to achieve, and can be difficult to regain. first question that pops into my mind is: what has changed about his situation/feelings?

Two children from my first marriage, one child from my second marriage, and one child that I adopted as a step-parent. Hannah my adopted daughter has known only me as her father but does know that her biological father exists. She is age nine and her biological father wants to start to have some contact. I am against this because I feel like it will be very traumatic to Hannah. I am confused and anxious about what to do. I know that at the present time Hannah is a well adjusted, happy child. Her biological father signed his rights away 4 yrs ago and has never showed interest before recently. He also has 2 daughters from another marriage that he lives with. I feel like he is feeling guilty for abandoning Hannah and wants to be back in her life for selfish reasons. I want what is best for Hannah. I am scared that she will be opened up to a lot of pain and hurt if he continues to push the issue. If there is anything that you could refer me to that would help make sense of this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time in reading this comment.<br /> <br /> Sincerely, Brian Wilson I am a father of 4.
