    Default usage of "since"

    Hello, dear teachers!

    I hope you will help me. Is it possible to say "Since their children's birth parents are responsible for them."? I am not sure if this sentence sounds English and if it is possible to use "since" in this context.
    Thank you in advance.

    Default Re: usage of "since"

    I'd use 'from'.
