The Daughter He Never Knew

Daughter / Father

Being a father is a blessing that should bring joy to you. Well, I have a story about a father who did not know he had a daughter until years later when I told him. It's never too late to catch up on the lost years. I found out through DNA results that a person I grew up with has an adult daughter. I contacted the young woman and her story matches the timeline of her father. The young woman without a doubt is the daughter of the person that I will not name for privacy reasons. 

I was very disappointed with the responses from the guy I grew up with when I explained to him that he has a daughter. He was in denial at first and then relived his past and he remembered the timeline of meeting and spending time with a woman that produced a daughter from their encounters. I was told by the father that he parted ways with the woman and had no knowledge of her pregnancy. 

The woman ended up giving the baby up for adoption. The young woman told me she was adopted by a loving family. The guy I grew up with is married with adult children. I feel sad for him that he does not reach out to his daughter because he is afraid of what his family will think.

I will never forget the Father's Day, I broke the news to the guy I grew up with and the outcomes were very disappointing. I know it's a lot to process that you have an adult daughter, but be a father and welcome your daughter to your family.

Happily ever after ending, not, we do not talk to each other anymore, he unfriended me on Facebook. Do I regret telling him about his daughter? Hell no! She is a very nice person.
