okay so I'm at work and not being successful at holding back tears..
We went through something last year where: My fiancee took care of a daughter he thought was his from birth til she was 8years old. She came over to our home one weekend bruised up and he took her to the hospital...DHS gave him temporary custody. Well, the mom ended up admitting she wasn't his and the DNA test confirmed it. So, she took her and moved away and that hurt him more than anything because he said even though the test say she's not his he loved her and would still provide for her. He looked for her and looked so 6yrs later (october 2008) my youngest son was on the computer trying to find her. He went to the yellow pages as I had did for many years looking up the mom's name and guess what? There it was..they called her that day and the mother was glad to hear from him. The 14yr old girl got on the phone and w/o knowing who he was said "it's my daddy, the only daddy I've known". And that was that. He drove to chicago and got her for a week and it was an emotional one. Others said they wouldn't be able to handle a man taking care of a child that wasn't his but, we've always loved her and who knows what God has in store for any of us. Plus, she looks just like him I dont' care what them test say. Oh yeah, her friend was the one working the case..go figure!
