I'm sure that was one of his first thoughts too... - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 11, 19:59 14
- but, if you love and have raised a child, would you even want to think it's not yours? because emotionally it is. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 20:00 13
  - This. If I was in his position, even if I had a suspicion, I wouldn't want to know. They're *my* kids now. -- nm - Mop Aug 11, 20:22 1
    - I would consider them my kids, but for medical reasons, i would want to know -- nm - amoxy Aug 11, 20:28
  - Would you want to, no. But, I'm not sure how that doesn't cross your mind. - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 11, 20:03 3
    - nine men. X times. -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 20:05
    - And I'd think the not knowing would drive me (personally) way beyond crazy. -- nm - nubby Aug 11, 20:04 1
      - Absolutely. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 11, 20:06
  - i'd probably want to know eventually, for a myriad of reasons, but not right away. -- nm - TFox Aug 11, 20:02 6
    - part of me would probably always want to know, because I hate uncertainty. But I think I'd never have the test. - ty97 Aug 11, 20:05 5
      - i'm thinking of, like, medical reasons i'd want it done, potentially. -- nm - TFox Aug 11, 20:06 4
        
        that would be taken care of by STD tests. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 20:14 2
        
        huh? I think he means medical history for the kids....if they have a different dad, they have different medical history and risks - ty97 Aug 11, 20:15 1
        
        right -- nm - TFox Aug 11, 20:20
        
        mmm, this is a very good point -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 20:07
