Be a father and be around.. it's not hard but I admit it's easier in my situation bc I'm married and living with the mother..

No, I'm not saying I don't believe YOU, I'm saying that anything she says is likely bullshite. Be careful man.

That was one expensive ejaculation imho!
Teach the kid his real last name now.

I apologize to Cosmo for my previous comments. Anti-trashy comment recended
WTF is this. She raised the child the first 3 years with her husband knowing it was your child.
Anyway, just be a dad. If you are a good guy it will translate to the patience it takes to raIse a child.

Congratulations! Just be a good father to him. Unfortunately, the mother will probably take most of your money and still limit access. Don't trust her and be guarded about what you say. Get an arranged visitation schedule and hold her to it. She will try to use you for her convenience. Don't allow that to happen. You are his father, not her babysitter.
This has already been taken care of through the courts. I moved very quickly after knowing he was my son, so I had my friend, who is an attorney, draft papers addressing all of that, and she agreed and signed. Again, the legal aspect, including child support, has already been signed-off on by the judge.

Are you banging your kid's mom again? If not, then step 1 would be to give your son a hug. Step 2 is to PIIHB for springing this on you.

Congratulations! It seems like you have a great attitude.
My advice is: He's a malleable individual. Get to know and respect him. Teach him to identify and accomplish goals. You can't change the world in a weekend. Buy "Love and Logic" for early childhood, which describes how to effectively raise the little beasts. It has a couple chapters on co-parenting. Good luck, do well!

Congrats on doing the right thing. You should consider a few sessions for yourself with a child psychologist to ease this very significant event for the kid.
Good luck!

The best thing you can give him is your time. The second best is to read with him every night at bedtime. Hope you can shared custody for 50/50. Be sure he gets an intro to the arts as well as athletics.

In a serious note I would absolutely do this for both of you. He will have a rough transition even though he may not show glaring challenges. I've had clients who were in the same situation and this was tremendous because the little guy is going through a lot and will need help with this new development in his life.
Congrats you'll be a great dad

I've already talked to a child psychologist about how to transition my son's mindset of who I am to him. I've received some pretty good advice I think. I just want my son to love me as much as I already instinctively love him from the moment I met him. It's different when you've never known your own son.

What's the role of the former "dad"? Did he just bail altogether once he learned the kid was not his biological, or is he still in the picture? Just curious how he reacted.
