The only way she can be related to both sides is through me. The paternity test will tell the truth.

I did alot of things from age 17 to 24, Im afraid this may be the tip of the ice berg. At 24 I was saved and my life totally turned around. What I struggle with is after all the change and years my past continues to haunt me. Being redeemed doesnt solve all my problems. My wife is handling it well. I dont know how to tell our kids. They only know the person that was redeemed not the selfish person I was


How old are your kids? Tell them the truth in an age appropriate way. I guess depending on their age, they will probably be thrilled to find out they have a big sister. It sounds like you are handling it as you should. You missed the opportunity to raise her, but you can still be her father for the rest of your life. You can't make up for lost time, but just be the best man you can be for her for the rest of your life. I have done the DNA test so now you have me thinking about "what if this were me?" I would hope someone would give me the same advice I'm giving you. You will be in my prayers that this turns out as a positive situation for everyone.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
