      Wait.. What? You first said "If Ayla's father was such a scumbag, why did she have a baby with him?"
      You're contradicting yourself here... You don't "get raped" and "have a baby with someone", you become a survivor of rape and unfortunately fall pregnant to the rapist.
      But no, she didn't, and I don't think that's any of your business. You're an idiot and I'm not answering any of your questions from now on.

      You're obviously too young to know about the effect of semen. Any man can conceive a child, and people do make bad life choices. Donelle dated an asshole, learnt from that, found me & got a beautiful child out of him. They didn't plan to have a kid, it just happened.
      Please, before sending me more hate, learn how life works.

      Same! It's pretty awesome. She's the most beautiful girl on the planet & I'm proud to call her my daughter :)

      No, it doesn't bother me at all. I mean, I always sort of expected to grow up and find a girl and get her pregnant one day, and we have our first kid together. That's how it usually is, right?

      But, I've grown up with a single mother and a father who had a daughter with another woman, and chose her over me. He ran away, blamed everybody else in his life, and made excuse after excuse. If there was another father-figure in my life, I would have jumped at the opportunity for him to become my father.
      Think about it, how many of your friends have mothers or fathers that aren't blood related? How many of your friends like step-parents more than their biological ones? How many don't have a parent/s at all?
      In the 1960's two things were introduced into the western world that changed the "modern family" forever. The Pill, and the option to divorce. This lead to many things; women were given the right to choose if they wanted a baby or not, husbands and/or wives could opt out on an unhappy marriage, and this ultimately led to the LBGT revolution we are seeing today.
      It also lead to the dysfunctional family (in the eyes of pre-1960ers, or grandparents are what we call them today) situation that is massive. Adopting, surrogate mothers, artificial insemination, step-parents, and in my situation; a man taking on a child that is not biologically his.

      I mean, sure, it sucks that Ayla isn't blood related to me, but but it doesn't change anything. We're not vampires, we can't smell blood. I guess I had an emotional connection with Ayla when she was 15 weeks in the uterus. I kinda felt for her, she had a scumbag of a father like mine, and I knew that he would let her down for the rest of his (and her) life. Now I know the pain FIRST HAND of how shit it is growing up with a dad who chose his other child over you, who is addicted to P (methane-pheytamine), alcohol, and plenty of other stupid shit. As a boy you don't have anybody to look up to and be like, and as a girl you don't have your dad to rely on and have a shoulder to lean on. It sucks. & I would never wish it on anybody, especially not an innocent child.

      Growing up, I didn't have a father to look up to and be like, so I had to create my own image of the man I wanted to become. I had a sort of freedom, which, now that I look at it, has turned out well. I've been able to mold and shape what I believe is a good, honest man, and father, and turn myself into that. I've never done drugs, I hadn't had sex until I met Donelle, I have good morals and beliefs and only wish the best on people.

      Ayla is 11 months old, and calls me dad. It was her first word, actually. Everytime I go in to see her in the morning she chants dad and waves at me, and then when I leave has a sad look on her face, and sometimes even cries. Sometimes she reaches out for me to hold her, and I am the person who can make her laugh the most. She loves me, and she knows me as dad. I never forget that she isn't biologically mine, but it doesn't get in the way of our relationship, and even when I tell her that I'm not her blood father, it won't. Life will go on as it always has, I will forever be her dad, and father.

      As for running off with another girl - I would be just as bad as Ayla's biological father if I did that. Choosing one child over another. Who cares that I never got to have my first biological kid with a girl who hadn't had a baby yet, I was there for 5 months of the pregnancy, the birth, I got to cut the cord, and everything else after that. If things don't work out between me and Donelle (and I highly doubt that), I won't be running away from Ayla. Whatever happens, she will always be my daughter.

      I'm sorry that it would drive you bonkers, maybe you need to think about life a little more, and look around you, at all your friends, and everybody you know, and realize that blood never has, and never will, make family.
