On the phone, she outlines very clearly to me that we're not going to be able to figure this out together, that she's not going to allow me to see him under any circumstances.

I'm just overwhelmingly depressed trying to navigate through this and Not being able to see my kid and not just, it was terrible. It was so hard.

Five o'clock rolls around and I'm like, hey, listen, I'm about to head that way. I'm about to leave work and I'm really excited to see him. Thank you for letting me see him, that kind of thing. And then I get a text message from her maybe like 30 minutes later saying, And it's, hey, sorry, plans have changed. You're not going to see Travis today because he's not your son. Call your lawyer.

I'm like, what? What do you mean he's not my son? So I call her 10 times, no answer, of course. And so I do what she says and I call my lawyer.

I leave work. I leave my job. I don't say a word to my boss. I walk out the door. I'm panicking. What is this? Why am I reading this on a text message? What's going on? I get in my car. I start driving home. I'm freaking out. I'm panicking.

We did a DNA test and it came back 99.97. There's no backtracking from that. It is what it is. The test is done. There is no other DNA test. What do you mean?

It was 0%. The results came back to 0%. And we put those test results side by side with this other guy's test results, who's 100%. And then all of a sudden, the pieces of the puzzle started coming together. It's like, all right, well, I guess that first test wasn't right.

How is it that a year ago, I'm 99.97% a match to this human, and now here we are a year later and I'm 0%?

And I had to ask myself, should I? Is this the right thing to do? Do I sign these papers and basically sign my son away to some other guy that I've never even met before? Is that the right thing to do? I don't know. My gut is telling me, no, this is my kid. What do you mean? I don't care what the results are.
