“I Did A DNA Test And Was Told Two Of The Children Are Not Mine" - Femi Kuti (Page 3)

Well it is out it is out, there's no need for us to cry over the milk that Femi spilled. My stand is that he should continue to take play a fatherly role to the children.  Under educational law, a parent must be a biological parent. On the other hand, under healthcare law, a parent is anyone with parental responsibility, regardless of biological link with the child(ren). After-all, people adopt children without knowing their biological parents, and that's what I want Femi to know. He would have had a personal meeting with the children's mother and sort this whole thing out, rather than engaging the media. Establishing a child’s biological origin is recognize by psychologists (and judges) as highly important for a child’s sense of identity. However, before anyone pursues this route, they should fully consider the ramifications for everybody concerned, particularly for the child(ren), of both a positive and a negative result. You may be able to handle it, but there may be a whole range of people affected – siblings too.  The truth as to biological parentage may be comforting but on the other hand, could be devastating.
