Some people urged him to take care of the children as they are now his responsibility and he should not punish them for their mother’s mistake.

Others suggested that he should send the children to their maternal grandparents or look for their biological father, as he has no obligation to raise them.

One user, @SheIsFlorentine, wrote:

“Take good care of them as they are now your kids. It won’t be easy but do it for humanity. Never tell them about that side of their mother. Marry a new wife and have at least a biological kid. For the new kid, do a DNA test as soon as you can.”

Another user, ChubieUjah, commented:

“You can send the kids to her parents, at least those are their grandkids. Nobody should be made to raise children that don’t belong to them.”

“Tough… very tough to answer! Morally, the best thing to do is to take care of the children. He most likely has a bond with them that he can’t automatically erase. He should continue loving them and take good care of them. If he wants his own children still, he has every right to do so.”
