My sons biological father has not been in his life physically for over 2 1/2 year, not verbally for 1 1/2 years and not financially for 1 year. However, I spoke to him once about 6 weeks ago (after calling and leaving several messages over the period of 2 weeks and finally he answered) and he said he did want to have contact with my son, but he has never called or anything.
