Unfaithful women and dead beat Dads.

Tweet

The other day I was watching an episode of Maury Povich and as usual he was doing one of those "Who's the Daddy?" episodes. He does those shows at least several times a week. Anyway, there was a formerly happy couple that had two children together. And, then one day the guy heard a rumor from one of his friends that the woman had been unfaithful to him and he disowned everyone including the children! And, I was wondering, why do guys do stuff like that? How can you know someone for years and then based on a rumor just dump them like they never meant anything. And, when it comes to the kids how is it fair to them. So, let's say for a minute that the kids really aren't his biological children. They don't know that. They just think that person is their Dad, so why should that stop being the truth, even if he turns out not to be related to them. Speaking as a mom, if someone showed up claiming that I was not the real parent of my child and I were forced to give her up, I'd be devastated. In my heart I would feel like she was mine even if she weren't related to me. I could not simply throw away four years over a matter of blood lines. How do you feel about this issue? Do you think that you would be able to give up your kids if you found out that they weren't related to you? And, a question for the guys. If you found out that the kids you had weren't really yours biologically, do you think that you could so easily leave them? Wouldn't they be devastated?
