Heartbroken Dad Loses Custody of Son He Raised for 9 Months ¶
On November 24, 2019, a Kenyan man, Chef Dom, took to social media in tears after finding out he is not the biological father of a 10-month-old son he has been raising for nine months.
According to Chef Dom, the child's mother left him just after one month, and he was left to raise the little one single-handedly for the last nine months.
He expressed his gratitude to friends and family who helped him raise the child, saying, "First of all, I will like to thank every single person who has helped me raise this young little angel from God. You guys have seen him grow from day one."
He also revealed that the child's babysitter never charged him a day, and his parents stepped up to help care for the child when he was four months old.
However, a court order has now revealed that Chef Dom is not the biological father of the child, and he has been ordered to return the child to his biological father by Thursday.
"So today went to court and was ordered to return him to his biological dad. Came to find out I was not his dad so I have by Thursday to bring him back like a rented toy to his dad. Yes, I’m heartbroken and hate the world or her for doing this and destroyed my family and the dad's family," Chef Dom wrote.
