This story is from November, but I’m just hearing about it today....

A man has a baby with a woman who abandoned the baby, and he raises the child as a single father only to find out that the child isn’t biologically his.

Yet, he loves the boy and wants to keep him anyway. However, he’s been ordered to turn the child over to the biological father. The story is pretty heartbreaking to me, but I do agree that the child must go with the biological father. It’s only right i suppose.

The individual in a lengthy post shared on Instagram revealed that the son he has been nurturing as his own for several months, is not his biological child, as revealed by a court order.

Chef Dom in his sad post appreciated everyone, both friends and family alike, that have played important roles in helping him raise the child he used to know as his own.
I do wonder though if in a case like this, is blood relation really all that cut and dried. Seems better that it happens at 10 months old when the child will have no memories of this situation, but damn man....I really feel sorry for this man. He even intimated that it made him grow up a whole lot.

Still, I’ve never seen a case quite like this one where a man is involved. I guess I just REALLY feel rotten for the guy. What can I say? My heartstrings got yanked pretty bad. Lol

Tough break for a stand up guy. I have actually heard of the opposite. Father finds out he isn't the read father and courts make him pay child support anyway.

Tell me about it. If this ain’t made for a movie, I don’t know what is. Wouldn’t be a dry eye in the theater. Lol

How awful for the Dad. But I praise him for looking after the baby, after the Mother fled. I hope the bio Dad will be as good a Dad as Dad number 1.

There was an even worse case in Britain, when man who had been happily married for twenty years and had three children with his wife went to the doctors and the doctor told him he had a type of Cystic Fibrosis and have been infertile since birth.

That meant the children he had raised as his own since 1995 must have been conceived during affairs his wife had. Luckily the man was very wealthy, and took legal action against hgis wife, and stopped her from receiving millions in a divorce settlement.

I was in the Navy at Alameda NAS and I actually did tell the judge. A guy who used to be in my department knocked up a girl and used my name who file a paternity suit. When I found out the date of conception I showed my TDY orders and was at sea aboard the Abraham Lincoln over 500 miles off shore. The judge was not amused at my statement that it must have been an immaculate conception. I was eventually exonerated but he clearly was edging towards me paying anyway. Typical California judge.
