My cheating husband, Paul, claimed our three kids weren’t mine, and DNA tests initially proved him right. He was having an affair with our neighbor and, during our divorce proceedings, he accused me of using an illegal surrogate.

“I’ll get full custody!” he shouted, confident in his deceit. The judge ordered DNA tests, and to my shock, the results showed my children didn’t share my DNA. “This is impossible,” I gasped, while Paul gleefully insisted I was a criminal unfit for motherhood.

Despite my lawyer’s protests, the judge ruled in Paul’s favor, leaving me devastated. Mr. Wombs, my lawyer, urged me to tell the truth. I insisted I had carried and birthed each child.

Days later, Mr. Wombs called with a theory: “Have you heard of chimera?” he asked. I hadn’t. It’s a rare condition where a person can have two sets of DNA from absorbing a twin during pregnancy.

We sought specialists, and Dr. Zack Goldman confirmed it. While my outer DNA didn’t match the kids’, DNA from my cervical region did.

In court, Mr. Wombs presented this evidence, and the judge reversed his decision. I regained custody, and Paul was ordered to pay child support.

I later married the specialist who helped me, and we welcomed a child together. As for Paul? His mistress left him when he lost everything. Karma truly has a way of balancing the scales!
