She Learned That Her Biological Father Has At Least 25 Children That He Wants Nothing To Do With And She’s Ashamed
A 22-year-old woman grew up in foster care until she was adopted out at 6-years-old. Her biological mother struggles with addiction, and her biological father she describes as “a deadbeat.”
After she turned 6-years-old, she was adopted by a family who loves her and gave her a good childhood, and she says she’s had a happy life since then.
When she was 17, she wanted to see the files that her adoptive parents had on her adoption, and they agreed to let her see them.
“They let me look because they felt I was old enough to read information about my bio parents and learn the story of how my life was before I was adopted,” she explained.
“My entire life I felt pieces of my identity missing with minimal answers. As I looked through my books, I found my parents’ names and looked them up on social media.”
She was able to find her biological mother without a lot of effort, and she found out that her mom had 4 more kids after giving birth to her.
She did send a message to her mother asking if she had any details on who her biological father was, but her mother said she had no idea.
She flipped back through her adoption paperwork, noticing that the name that was written down for her biological father just wasn’t correct.
With little information to go on, she did her best to track him down, and she was successful in doing so after she got in contact with one of his former girlfriends.

She questioned her biological father’s ex on the number of children that he had, and she thought it was 7.
“He started having kids at the age of 13,” she said. “I finally got in contact with him and he stated that he had 14 children.”
She was able to get in contact with 3 of those children, who all happen to be older than 18. Those children had also discovered 8 additional children that her biological father had, but that’s quickly increasing.
“We are now up to 25 kids,” she continued. “He has never had custody of any of his children, yet he won’t stop making them.”
“I’m ashamed of him, and I wish I could legally make him stop. All of us were fostered or kept by bio moms and it makes me sick when we keep finding more.”
Right now, she knows that the oldest child her father had is 26, and the youngest child she knows of is 4.
She views her half-siblings as nothing but “strangers” in her life, and she feels that the ability to have a relationship with them has already been stolen away from her.
“We look at each other’s lives through pictures and it’s miserable knowing that one man can steal half of our identities, abandon us without repercussions, and continue his filthy ways without any consideration for us,” she added.
How would you feel if you found out that your biological father has at least 25 children that he wants nothing to do with?
