Sign in to disble this ad
A woman, with whom you've had a one night stand, approaches you several years later and indicates that she became pregnant and had your child. She doesn't want anything from you, she just wanted to let you know that you have a child. What do you do?

it's not like "she owed you". you knew the potential consequences of a one night stand just like she did, you could have been "the responsible dad" the days/weeks/months -after- you slept with her and found out if there were any "lasting effects".

I would have a few tests done first though. If she is willing, more than likely that is the only test needed.
