Letter To The Absent Father Of My Unborn Child

  1. Dear (name), Thank you for being absent and not supporting me through my pregnancy. Thank you for giving me the time to take care of myself, gather my thoughts and decide what I want to do with your baby. Thank you for letting me bask in the sun on a Saturday afternoon at the beach, the joy of feeling wind on my face while I pedal my bike while pregnant and spend quiet evenings reflecting on my life.
  2. Thank you for giving me the chance to be pregnant. When I think about you not with us anymore, it upsets me, but knowing that the child we made together will grow up and know you exists makes me feel better. Thank you for letting me carry your baby and bringing a new life into this world.
  3. I’m writing you this letter to let you know that I’m pregnant. If you don’t respond, then so be it. The baby means the world to me and should mean something to you, too.
  4. I know that right now you are a scared, alone and have no idea what to do. This is not fair to you and I’m sorry that I make it harder. Take as much time as you need to come back in our lives. I love you! I know that you won’t be able to take full responsibility for the child, but at least make an attempt to come back in our lives. After all that’s your child too.
  5. I wanted to thank you for your support throughout this pregnancy. While I know we haven’t seen each other in a while, I’ve always known that you are there. I can sense it and feel it and I am grateful.
  6. Thank you for being a fantastic person and the best guy I have ever met. You are not just lucky to have me, I am lucky to know you. We make a great match together, and I can’t wait to marry you and have a beautiful family with you. Even though you’re far away, all of your positive energy and love is always around me.
  7. Thank you for donating the sperm which created my baby. Your kindness has helped me create a family. I am truly grateful that you were willing to help out a complete stranger.
  8. Thank you for choosing my egg. I’ve always heard that once a person is pregnant they don’t think about the father of the child as much because it doesn’t matter as much anymore. However, each time I go to the doctor or read my baby book, I think about how we did this together and plan to make sure your child knows about you.
  9. I hope you are doing very well, wherever you are and whatever you are doing. This letter is both an invitation and a plea. I want to try and motivate you to contact me since I am pregnant with your child. You do not know how much joy it would give me if we could talk.
  10. Hey, we need to talk about our baby. I am pregnant and I want to keep it. I know you are not in the picture now, but I hope you will be willing to step up and be a father to your child. It’s not like this is an accident or some kind of trap. This is my decision and I hope you will fully support me. If you want to be in the kid’s life and see him or her every other weekend…then let me know.
  11. Dear Dave, As you are reading this, I want you to know that there is a baby growing inside me. This baby was created when we had a night of fun together. You don’t have to worry about me, though. I’m not pregnant because I can’t afford it. I’m doing this because you need the experience and I want to give the gift of a lifetime to people who can use it the most. When you read this, remember that no matter how bad things get, never give up hope or faith in humanity or yourself. We will all survive together.
  12. You are very special to me, and I am looking forward to being a father. I just wanted to touch base with you to tell you how exciting this is for me, and I hope it is for you too. Please get in touch with me.
  13. How can I be mad at you? I can only feel sad that your life has been so full of struggle and pain. In a different time, or if you had grown up in a different family, you would have been the most loving, amazing father in the world. You are not what is wrong. You are a victim of circumstances. I know that this may be hard for you to hear, but as someone who has suffered through many of the same experiences as you, I know it is true.
  14. I know that you are not excited about the baby. Maybe for other women, this would be a reason to hate you or feel betrayed, but I am not angry. I forgive you.
  15. You are opening this letter, so I’m assuming you have been in contact with your family and have heard of the news.
  16. Thank you for meeting me and bringing us together. I’m very happy with the new changes in my life, and I can’t wait to meet you.
  17. To the father of my unborn child: Although I never met you, I hope that you’re doing well. I’m having a baby and I had some questions about signing up for child support and getting on the birth certificate; it’s too soon to tell who the father is so I need for you to fill out a DNA test form. If you don’t want to be accountable for your actions, please let me know now. Remember this child is half of yours, so please do not walk away from us both.
  18. I want to thank you for not being there in the beginning. Thank you for not being there when I had to go to the doctor’s office at 3am to get shots so that I would not miscarry. The only reason I am writing this letter is so you have closure and will no longer have any questions as you wonder if I had the baby.
  19. Thank you for choosing me to be the mother of your child. I realize that you will not be there for me and sometimes it hurts to think about how you abandoned me. However, I love having your child. I promise to always put him first before myself. Thank you for trusting me with your child.
  20. Thank you for creating this child. I hope to meet you someday and thank you in person. I hope you will be a part of our lives in the future.
  21. Thank you for taking care of me. I understand why you aren’t there, and I know this is not your coming onto me. Thank you for being there to the best of your ability. Thank you for being supportive and helpful. Thank you for being unconditionally loving while I am pregnant.
  22. Thank you for not being there. If you were, I would have felt obligated to marry you. Without you in my life, I’m able to be totally committed and excited about having a child without any doubt or worry.
  23. Congratulations! We are having a baby! People say you are the father, but there has been some miscommunication. You weren’t really supposed to read this, yet here is your letter.
  24. Thank you for making me pregnant. I didn’t want to be, but I am turning this whole thing around and making it into something beautiful.
  25. Hey, I just wanted to write you and tell you that we are having a baby.
  26. Thank you for putting me in this situation. Thank you for forcing me to realize my own strength and power and make the right decisions. It wasn’t easy by any means, but now I can look back and say that I am grateful. I’m making life great again!
  27. I wish I could tell you all of these thank yous and nice things in person. Since I can’t, I am writing this letter. I always wondered how it would feel to ignore a father that doesn’t want the baby and still wants to be a part of the pregnancy. It feels good knowing that there are some people out there who love their children and respect them.
  28. Dear friend, I would like to thank you for the lesson of responsibility you have taught me. I’ll remember all the moments we had. And lastly, the greatest and most important is to thank you for making your genes stronger by giving me a miracle called (baby name). I hope you can be there in my child’s life like a father to her/him.
  29. I do not know you, but I would like to tell you that I am pregnant with your child. This might be a surprise, even something scary. But I’m happy to have your baby. Thank you for making me a mommy!
  30. Thank you for not being part of my child’s life. I don’t know how to be angry with you. You are never going to read this letter, but I need to write this out to get it off my chest (you and everyone else).
  31. Thank you for knocking me up. It was that one night that I will always remember. Or forget. Whatever. The point I’m trying to make is, thank you for being such a little dick and leaving me on my own.
  32. Thank you for being the father of my unborn child. I will forever love and care for our child, but only one thing would make me happier: if we were together.
  33. Thank you for being the sperm donor. I realize we don’t really know each other but I will always be grateful that you helped bring my child into this world. Thank you for letting me use your last name and for just being so supportive through everything. You were a great friend to my boyfriend and a great boyfriend to me. I’m looking forward to talking more with you as we get further along in this pregnancy.
  34. Thanks for everything you have given me. I will make sure to give my child all the love and support she will need in life so that she can be better than you.
  35. Thank you for leaving us. We will always love you, and I hope you are happy. Your daughter is usually angry at you when she thinks about you, but recently she has started thinking about why you left and the circumstances under which it happened. She had a dream that perhaps in this dimension or timeline things were not going well for you, so you needed to leave. One dream she had was that in this world your father died, so it must have been hard for her when your father died too. Thank you for not being around to see her be born.
  36. To the father of my unborn child: If you’re reading this letter, I’m guessing that you are absent. That being said, thank you for not knowing about what is happening in my life. Thank you for being absent from my life. I am thankful because this child would not be possible without your absence.
  37. The day we found out about the pregnancy was one of the saddest days for us. You have been absent for so long that you barely have a recollection of your own child being in the making. It is quite unfortunate. However, I wanted to tell you that despite all this, I am going to carry it to full term and give it to your family as a present from me. Good luck with your future plans; you’re going to need it.
