So the story goes, about 6 years ago I was with a woman for a period of 2 weeks . I was homeless at the time and she offered me a place to stay. She had just recently broke up with her boyfriend who beat her, we got together 1 or 2 times; then I discovered she had gotten back together with him and so I stopped contacting her. She moved to another town shortly after and all contact was lost with her. About 2 years ago I recieved a letter from the state asking for a paternity test, I was found to be the father of this child. What I am asking is what would be the right thing to do, I obviously am trying to set up arrangements to see him asap. I dont know what to feel though, I am not really in a spot to be a daddy. Regardless I know that if you play around , then be prepared for the outcome, it was just a shock to find out years later. It is hard to get good advice as it seems no one has been in this situation before that I know, i cannot find any information online for help. I want to be his dad, but where do I start, I already missed 5 of his birthdays and feel horrible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
