Two fathers

In a thread below the post, Cameron said that he did not know about his biological father until reaching 18 and was raised by another man.

According to Cameroon, he did a DNA test after turning 26, which confirmed that the man who had raised him was not his biological dad.

“I now have two fathers. My father that raised me, is still in my life. I found out about my biological dad when I was 18.
I didn’t actually do a DNA test until I was 26. Once it came back no probability I reached out to my biological dad,” he wrote.

Reaching out

Cameron reached out to his biological father through text and informed him that there was a chance he could be his soon.

“Hey my name is Cameron. I don’t really know how to do this, I'm just wondering and hoping you and I could have a conversation,” Cameroon’s message read.
