Sadly, he will have to accept the children as his, unless he’s fortunate to have the fathers come to claim them, before he spends all his life savings, raising them.

Thanks for sharing @AdeshinaMubarac

Netizens react:

@Amaka_Nwaafo: Omo, though not by birth but they are now your children until their father(s) show up. Just continue loving them as you have always done, ) et them not pay gor the sins of their mother, please.
Omo some people get mind sha🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@adeosunm: Since, there’s medical evidence (DNA) that he isn’t the true father of the 2 children and his wife who’s a legal partner in the union is late, he should let her late wife’s family know about the issue and return the children to them, else he might just labour in vain for others.

@officielPhresh: I’d advise u keep them and don’t Let anyone else know Ur secret
🩸 is not the only family we have
Learn to love n care n treat them like they’re urs
They’ll grow to know u as their Father and Hopefully
The hard decision you’ll make in keeping them will pay off
U can ignore me 2

@Crechend0: Damn this is just somehow. If he’s a Christian, just carry on with those kids for the sake of Christ, knowing that the father can come in the future.

@The_HSE_Officer: It’s better he gives the children back to the late wife’s family, while he moves on with his life
If I case the father of the children comes for them in future, he won’t have much to loose

@Nuel_Oiza: If you love them enough, keep them
If you would like to avoid the Future heartbreak of watching them go, return them to your late wife’s family
Whatever you choose, you’ll be fine
