Imagine raising a child, only to find out she’s not biologically yours. That’s what happened to this man, who learned the truth when his daughter Kaya was 12. Her mother had an affair and kept it a secret, even from Kaya. Fast forward to today, Kaya is a successful MIT graduate about to get married, and she’s chosen her ‘fake’ dad to walk her down the aisle. But her biological parents aren’t happy about it.
