    Wow, his view of what makes someone your child is the absolute opposite of what I believe. Any child I raise is “my child”. Anyone who considers me their mom is “my child”, no matter who their biological parents are.

    And, thankfully I’ve never been in a position to have to give one up for adoption but if so, I would say the parents who raised them are the parents, not me.

    I really don’t think he’s their dad. If he wants to be a mysterious benefactor who gives them money because their moms used his sperm, that’s not an awful thing to do, but saying they are his children is lunacy.

    I sure hope he doesn’t have any stepchildren, as presumably they’d be left out of this largesse.

      people like him think that raising children = disseminating your genetic material. for him the kids are already lucky enough to get their prime genetic material.
