In a recent discussion, a couple known for their public journey as birth parents addressed their decision to communicate with individuals claiming to be friends of their biological daughter. The communications occurred after the couple received what they described as alarming information.
The father explained that the nature of the claims made it difficult to disregard the contacts. “The information presented was so intense and concerning that we felt we had to engage to understand what was happening,” he stated. He characterized some of the allegations as having a “cultlike” dimension related to religious matters, which heightened their worry.
The mother focused on her skepticism during the exchanges. She recounted repeatedly asking one individual, who used the name Jenna, for verification of the serious claims being made—including that their daughter was forbidden from discussing her adoption or her siblings. “She could never provide any proof, so I ultimately said I couldn’t believe her,” the mother explained.
The situation unfolds against a backdrop of a previously open adoption that has since been closed. The couple has publicly expressed their ongoing struggle with the lack of direct communication with their daughter. In the released correspondence, the father is alleged to have provided a dedicated email address for the daughter, framed as a safe, private channel should she ever wish to reach out.
In one message, he reflected on the dynamic, suggesting that if direct contact were permitted, much of the confusion could be avoided. “We may have all failed her here,” the message read, “but we are the only ones facing criticism for trying to do what we thought was right.”
Texts attributed to the mother expressed a deep longing for connection, including a hope to hear her daughter’s voice by any means. She emphasized to the alleged friend that any contact would be kept in absolute confidence.
The couple concluded their discussion by acknowledging the complexity of their position, caught between a desire to protect their child and the pain of separation.
