My mistake haunted my thoughts for years until it became a reality! How could I?!😔

At 17, Daniel had to give up his newborn son for adoption due to his parents’ insistence. Years later, as a 27-year-old little league baseball coach, he encountered a new student, Robert, who bore a striking resemblance to his late girlfriend, Emily. Daniel, who had been coaching since leaving a teaching career, couldn’t shake off the feeling that Robert might be his son.

Daniel and Emily had been young and unprepared for parenthood when Emily tragically died giving birth. Their son, whom Emily’s parents refused to accept, was given up for adoption on Daniel’s parents’ advice. Daniel, who had been coaching kids around the age his son would be, found himself constantly thinking about his decision.

Upon noticing the uncanny resemblance to Emily in Robert, Daniel inquired with Robert’s mother, Nina, who revealed that Robert was adopted. After sharing his story with her, they agreed to a DNA test, which confirmed Robert was Daniel’s biological son. Nina, respecting her son’s right to know the truth, suggested they tell Robert and see if he wanted a relationship with Daniel.

As time passed, not only did Robert and Daniel develop a bond, but Daniel also grew closer to Nina. Their relationship eventually turned romantic, and they decided to marry, giving Robert the complete family he had always wanted.
