I have been reading this website for a few weeks now and have not been compelled to put my 2 cents in until I read what Jen wrote.

I have met my man online a while ago. He is from Morocco (Taza) and he is the most loving, kind, and peaceful man I have ever met. We chat online for hours every night via IM, webcam, mic, and a translator (his best friend) I am recently divorced from a man who abused me for many years and this kind of relationship suits me fine! Who knows maybe one day I will get the courage to take a trip and meet him for myself. I have been encouraged by your posts. But, that is a decision each individual makes for themselves and is not for others to judge.

I have 2 kids and I would do anything in the world for them and you taking your son to visit Morocco was in my book a great idea. At least you didn't abandon him and go on your own.

In my opinion, Jen does not know what she is talking about and she seems to be a very narrow minded individual. Taking your child to Morocco or meeting a man online is not a reason to remove a child from your care. People meet and fall in love everyday online is the same country and different countires. I work for Child Protective Services here in the USA and we have no time for such foolishness. We are very busy with urgent cases such as saving children from abuse and neglect, not from moms getting married to a foreigners or having online romances.

I hope that all your dreams come true and you have a wonderful marriage! I hope that one day I will have the same courage as you do. I know he would love it if I would! Take care and God Bless!!
