[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's amazing that some PPs have more sympathy for a man who bails on his child who has never known any other father once he finds out he's not the biodad.  Where is the sympathy for the child who loses his father due to the sins of his mother before he was even born?  I think the old-school laws that presume a husband is the father of his wife's kids and require the payment of child support if a man holds himself out as the child's father are morally right.[/quote]

I really think it depends on the circumstances.  There are 2 sides to every story.  Do I think one should bail on a child they have raised as their own automatically after finding out the child is not biologically theirs?  No.  But there is usually more going on.

We didn't cut off ties with my BIL's not-son even after all was finally revealed.  We have tried to remain a part of his life as much as his crazy mother and distance will allow.  He's getting old enough now to maintain contact with us on his own (he found me on facebook).  Eventually, the truth will be told.[/quote]
