Is there any reason to reunite?

Question

i am raising one girl right now, she's 14. i have another daughter that i haven't seen since she was a newborn. she's 11 now. i've only seen a couple of pictures of her. she looks like a blonde haired version of the daughter i'm raising who has auburn hair. they look so much alike! i feel like they may be a lot alike. but i gotta be honest, what are the chances, just because of blood relation, that there is any reason to reunite now after so many years. they are only half sisters from two different mothers. i pay child support on her in case anybody wonders. i can't say i love her because i don't know her. i am really curious though. maybe there is something, i just don't know.

Answer 1

I think if you  are curious talk to the mother and explain that you want to get to know more about the child without letting the child know who you are . IF you can feel like you can bond with the child then tell her you are her father.  the mother needs to understand that this will actually be good for you and the child. I know if my ex came along I would do the same  . TO first show me he wants to be apart of my daughter's life and then tell her he is her father.  

Answer 2

BECAUSE SHE IS YOUR DAUGHTER!!!!!! OMG.....You made her just the same way you made the one you have at home. You have already lost 11 years don't let it go any longer. Plus you have two daughters that are missing out on each other. You speak of this child like she is a distant cousin or something, she is your baby too. I don't care how old she is.Get in touch with you EX and start getting visitation. You can still salvage a relationship with an 11 year old. Imagine how that little girl feels knowing her Father hasn't gave a rats *** about her the last 11 years. It's time for you to grow up and be a man and Father to both girls.Do you mean to tell me you don't have enough LOVE in your heart for your other daughter? The sooner you get to know her,the more time you will have to get to know her and build a relationship with her. You should Love her for the simple fact that she is your daughter. The emotional attachment will take some time which you are losing each and every day.Don't grow to be an old man with guilt and many regrets!!! Get on it DADDY!!

Answer 3

Instead of thinking about yourself (not to be rude) does she want to meet you? give her the benefit of wanting to know you, the why's and what's. She has a right to know and at 11 she will understand most of it. They both have a right to meet each other they are sisters.
