Father Finds Out He’s Infertile, Recognizes Who His Kids Look Like

Clandestine Meetings

She and the man would meet at a hotel in London while she was traveling for work as a union official. But she had still insisted that Richard was their children’s father.

He had no choice but to get an expert’s opinion. He knew the last 20 years of his life had been a complete lie and he simply had to know the truth.

Taking Matters Into His Own Hands

Richard decided to seek out advice from paternity fraud expert, Roger Terrell. After he underwent numerous tests, it was confirmed that Richard was indeed incapable of fathering children.

The next step was to obtain DNA samples from his sons. The DNA test results proved that the twins weren’t his, but to complicate matters further, his eldest son refused to provide a sample.

Still His ‘Dad’

Richard’s eldest son stated, “As far as I’m concerned, he’s my dad and that’s that.” But Richard still had all the proof he needed to launch a legal case against Kate.

In December 2016, he began proceedings at Birmingham County Court. But Richard’s oldest son had another message for the man he knew as his father.

Consequences

And the teenager remained true to his word. Of course, this caused Richard immense heartache. “The ripple effect of Kate’s lies has been massive,” he declared later on.

But the reaction from the twins as the case progressed was quite different. Other kids might have reacted to that type of news by being irate or frustrated; but not Richard’s.

Message Of Support

The twins still regard Richard as their dad, even though they know that he is not their biological father. One of the twins even sent Richard an overwhelming message as a show of support.

The message read, “Dad, as I explained from the beginning, you would never not be dad to me regardless of all this. Of course, I’ll stay in touch, that will never change… I’m always here for you too and you will always be Dad. Love you x.”

Hollow Victory

When Kate’s unbelievable lies were exposed in court, Richard won his case and Kate was ordered to pay him over $300,000.

Kate agreed to settle, but on one condition: the man who is the real father of her sons must remain anonymous. But it was a hollow victory for Richard. And he has a message for the boys’ real father, too.
