That's what happened to one loving adoptive dad who was faced with a difficult decision when the girls' birth father demanded to meet them. The girls, however, were adamant about not wanting to meet the man who abandoned them. 😨🚫

Dad Stands Up for Daughters, but Doubts Linger 😔
In a whirlwind of emotions, this adoptive dad defends his daughters' wishes to not meet their birth father, who suddenly reemerges after 17 years. Despite the girls' firm decision, the birth father accuses the dad of keeping them away out of fear they'll leave him. As friends chime in with their opinions, the dad starts to doubt his actions. Was he right to stand by his daughters' decision, or should he have encouraged a meeting with their birth father? 💔🤔 Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation...
