The Cab Driver
Here is my story. I am a social worker who was visiting a client when one of their siblings decided to ask me some questions about my personal life. She asked me about my children. I had one son who is 17 that live in New Jersey. Then I started talking about a set of twins that could possibly be mine. The situation was their mother was married and she did not tell me. After the children were born she found me some how because she noticed the children resembled me and not her husband. I was able to be in their life for two years. The young lady began to ask me their names. I told her the name of my son in New Jersey. I then shared the name of the twins (male and female) and she began to say that I could not be the father of those children. The entire household started saying you can not be the cab driver that slept with their now step father’s ex-wife. They began to give names and birthdays. It amazed me how they knew so much information.
At this point it was established that they knew the children. I shared that their mother stop having contact with me and I never fully understood why. The children are now 16 years old and I have not seen them in 14 years. My siblings would see their mother in the street and give her my phone number but she would never call me. The mother of the clients that I service was able to locate a phone number and contact the children and their mother. I was able to talk to their mother and the children. The children were told that I might possibly be their father. I asked their mother if she would mine if we took a paternity test because it has been so long and they were lead to believe that your ex-husband was their father. She agreed and my wife told me that she heard about a DNA Paternity Test that was discussed on TV and that they now sell them at Rite-Aid. That is when I decided to stop at Rite-Aid pick one up and meet the children and swab them and myself to take the test. It was an emotional moment for me because I remembered when they were toddlers. It amazed me how they had grown. Since the samples were sent they have been looking for the results because they seemed to enjoy my personality and want to spend time to get to know me. I keep telling them that I do not want to mislead them and that they should know that truth in case they have some genetic questions.
