I am 5-7 1/2 and her mother is 5-5. My daughter is 5-11 and only 14 years old!She also wears a size 11 shoe. Both I and the mother have average size feet. Now,she has similar features in her countenance to mine and her hue is my hue but I've never had a DNA test so who knows? Her mother has been quite promiscuous since 15 years old and still practicing the same behavior at 33. I shouldn't have waited this long but I'm going to take a DNA test. What do you think?

Babies inherit their genes from ancesters way back in years.
How about her eyes, hair and etc. are they like yours ?
DNA probably is the only sure way to tell. If her mother had
other lovers it's just as likely to be their daughter as yours.
Either way you shouldn't do anything to hurt your daughter.
To her you are her dad and I'm sure she loves you .

I think you are wise to consider a DNA test. Most are unaware that of "suspecting" fathers, 1 in 4 find out the child in question is not theirs.
A sample of hair from her hair brush along with your blood test will give you the answers without raising suspicion.
The next step is to either accept this, or buy an online copy of "fire your wife" - which I will email you for free if you contact me. It gives you pointers to protect yourself as best as possible prior to divorce.
Little do others know there are entire sections in book stores exclusively for women with hundreds of titles such as "how to get the most of of a divorce", whereas none exist for men.
Good luck bud, you are not alone.

Do not take that test!!!!! When I was 18 years old my mother told me that my dad was not my real father, but my dad did not know this..it broke my heart and made me very confused.They were divoriced for years at this time. I was afraid that I would lose the love we had for eachother.. I will never tell him this because even now in my thities I am still scared to lose him...the hugs, the kissed booboos,the long tips he made to see my school plays,the bedtime song and stories,the laughter, and snowball fights made him my DADDY !!!! I would rather have him in my life then some guy who is just my father.
Just don't do it , it will mess up that poor girl because if she was yours and she ever found out she would think you do not love her.And if she isn't yours you could lose then too..leave it alone ...just love your baby girl!

I suggest you try talking to your daughter about how she feels about the idea.... would you still consider her your daughter?, she's 14, I mean, its kind of hard to back out now. So does it really matter that much anymore? I think you'll just upset people. and chances are, she's yours. my son comes nearly up to my hips when he's standing, and he's only 8 months old. People are evolving and becoming taller than previous generations. his father is taller than both of his parents, so is his sister. and look back at your family history, maybe the tall gene is in there somewhere. don't go ruining your relationship with your daughter or her mother over a suspicion now. if you were that worried about it you should have taken care of it 14 years ago.

If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't want the DNA test. She is yours. You raised her, not someone else. But if you really must know, I hope that your relationship will be just as strong if you find out she isn't yours biologically. And it happens all the time where your offspring are taller than you. She sounds so tall at such a young age that she might have a problem with her pituitary gland causing her to grow too fast.

These days, it's very possible. What about your extended family? Some kids take more after a grandparent or aunts or uncles when it comes to physical stature. My parents are only 5'5" and 5'6", and one of my brothers hit almost 5'11" already at age 16. So it's definitely not unusual. And I know for a fact he is my dad's son! lol

DNA can skip generations. Its possible that someone in your family tree or your exes are taller. My stepmom is 5ft11 and 250 lbs. Her dad is 5ft7 and couldn't be more than 160. Her mom is 5ft8 and also about 160. There's no doubt that she is their child. It just happens that her father's father was a tall/stout man, and she seemed to inherit that.

You will never know for sure whether or not this child is yours unless you take a DNA test. Go ahead and take the DNA test so you won't have to guess if this child is yours.

In my psychology book, I read that each generation gets taller and they shoed a picture of two shorter parents with a child much taller than them both. If youhave doubts then by all means take the test but be careful it might ruin the bond you might have with your daughter.

It would be a good idea to get the test done but kids can get genes frome the parents family too. My whole family is short except my youngest sister(and I know she is my whole sister). My mom has a few tall brothers from her mothers side. We just assume thats where my sister got it from.
