If you found out your child wasn't really yours...

[lemons]

If you found out your child wasn't yours biologically after presuming it was, how would you feel/react?

For example finding you aren't the biological father or your baby got swapped at the hospital after birth (happened on Eastenders!) etc

:8

I'll be like :( but then I'll be like idm because if i've loved them before why would i be like ew no all of a sudden? =/ but idk

[Alysha]

It'd be a shock and there'd probably be a bit of resentment to begin with, but like Lauren said, you've loved them before, so why should that change.

What happens if they want to swap the child back though? That'd be horrible.

If it was swapped at hosp or w.e. I don't know that's complicated to imagine.

If it wasn't biologically mine because the woman idk had sex with another guy, then I would still be there for the child unless the woman decides to raise it with its biological dad. Child deserves to have 2 parents at the end of the day :P

How old is the kid if I've actually been with them for years and brought them up they're mine anyway but if it gets found out a couple of days later I'll just be like lol swapsies and it'll be a hilarious story to horrify them with as a teenager

[Shar]

If it was swapped or something I'd still love it regardless I think but it'd be really complicated

[Reality]

I think anyone at first would find it a bit hard to comprehend but as you've been loving the child like it's yours for so long anyway, I don't think it would phase me as such!

[lemons]

I think I would stick by the child because it's would've been brought up like your own and to just suddenly stop would be hurtful for both sides!

the difficult decision to make is whether you would try to find your real child and involve yourself in its life (if there was a baby swap at a hospital or w/e)

[FlyingJesus]

Are we expecting anyone to publicly announce that they would suddenly disinherit their child and make sure it's told 50 times a day that it isn't loved

If it was swapped at birth I'd keep it nonetheless. It's still just as much my child as I've treated it that way for its whole life.

would you make any attempt to contact the real child?
