It's easy to guess what one might do in that situation because it is hard to know until we are faced with the actual situation. With that said, however, I believe that I would be able to accept the child for no other reason than she did not ask to come into the world and certainly not under those circumstances. I believe there are so many children who are rejected within society and even their own biological families for various reasons and it really does take a village to raise a child. I am a child abuse advocate and I have helped children who I have no connection with other than they were in need. I don't believe any child deserves to face some of the abuse, trauma and rejection that many do before they are even old enough to understand the world. Nevertheless, this is an opinion from an experienced adult.
It sounds like you are a sibling in the matter and feel angry about the situation. I can understand your point of view as well. I believe it's hard for children to understand why parents make mistakes or do the things they tell us are "bad" behavior. You may never really understand "why" he's done this, but the fact is he has done it and now the family needs to pull together and cope with it as best as possible. It won't be easy and it won't happen overnight. This person has lost her mother. If you can find it in your heart, please try not to make it where she has to be rejected by her father as well. Over time, it may be possible to build a relationship with your half-sibling once the hurt, anger and animosity subside. Maybe not, but as you wrote, it's really not her fault all this happened. I wish you and your family the best.

Yes, I would indeed. It's not the kid's fault. If the mother was a good person who put her child's welfare first, I would gladly accept her as well.
