On November 23, 2019, a court ordered a father to return a baby he had raised for 9 months to the real father.
The baby's mother had abandoned him at just one month old, and the father had taken on the responsibility of raising him on his own.
However, it was later revealed that the father was not the baby's biological father, and he was ordered to return him to his real father by Thursday.
The father, who had grown attached to the baby, expressed his heartbreak and sadness in a post, saying that he had been raising the baby as his own son for the past 9 months.
He thanked everyone who had helped him raise the baby, including his babysitter, who had never charged him a day's work, and his parents, who had stepped in to help care for the baby when he was 4 months old.
The father also expressed his gratitude for the 10 months he had spent with the baby, saying that it had been the best time of his life.
He acknowledged that he had hate for the baby's mother, but was focusing on being thankful for the time he had with the baby.
The father's post also included a photo of him and the baby, which he said was his favorite picture of them together.
