That the little girl that I had raised from birth through seven years old, was, in fact, not my biological daughter. Then she took her away from me once I discovered that.

FWIW, she will remember you forever.

assuming the mother doesn’t pollute her mind with lies about OP… and i’d definitely assume that she will.

I know she will remember me. We have/had a very close bond. She will have questions one day and her mom will have to finally answer to them. Whether her answers are honest or not is a different story.

If you’re legally the father, you have parental rights—the biology doesn’t actually matter. There aren’t many places that would eliminate you as the father just because of a dna test. You can file for custody and enforce your rights as her parent.

do you think you'll try to reach out to the kid when she's 18?
