'I kept looking at this man and thinking, I can’t see my son in him. I didn’t want to.'
Before the couple even considered searching for their son's biological father, they had to tell their son.
Vanner asked his son how he felt and what his thoughts were."Right away, one of the things he said was, 'The only thing I wish is that I knew what I would look like with your genes,'" Vanner says."And he said that whatever happens, I'm still his dad. And I said, 'Yeah, I am. I will always be your dad.'"
"And then he explained their story, and how they found Devin and how Vanner believed that Devin was the biological father," Kelly adds."At that point, my mind was blown. I was speechless." "After we explained how IVF worked, we told them that the doctors had accidentally used dad's sperm with another woman's eggs, a baby was made, and that we just found out that they have a half brother," Kelly adds."I think their minds were blown."
Since the shocking revelation, both families have met twice — spending time at a park, having dinner together, going on a hike and playing basketball. They plan to continue being friends, and the McNeils say they will be as involved in Tim's life as much as he wants.
