Ordinarily, neither do I.  But then what do you propose?   Since the biological father is nowhere in sight , do you propose we endorse that the only father she has known abandon her financially (like many here suggest)?  Who really has more to lose in this terrible situation?  The daughter, or the adult?  It is about choosing the lesser of two evils.  Life's choices aren't always black and white, nor are the choices necessarily good for ALL involved.  This is why there is a CHOICE to be made at all.  Neither choice is fair to both father and child simultaneously.  Nevertheless, I feel strongly that the MORAL decision (which the father in this case should have made WILLINGLY) is to continue loving AND financially supporting his daughter, rather than make her pay for what that awful woman did.  Love the child more than you hate the mother...  That's the lesser of the two evils in my book.
