Imagine raising a child for 12 years, only to find out she isn’t biologically yours. That’s what happened to this man, who discovered his wife cheated on him and had a child with another man. The deceit didn’t end there, as the bio-dad left the country and the wife pretended to be happy with her husband. Fast forward to today, the daughter is getting married and has chosen her non-biological dad to walk her down the aisle, leaving her bio-parents in the dust. ♂️
