If you were introduced to a child that was somehow taken (or kept) from you at birth, and said child was now eight years old-plus, how would approach a relationship with them? Would you attempt to be their parent in an authoritative way, or would you go the friendship route with them?

If you discovered you had a long lost child, would you be their parent or their friend?

Hypothetically speaking (because that ship sailed years agor for me) it would depend on a number of factors but at the very least I would be financially responsible for any child I fathered.

That ship sailed so long ago for me, that any such child would have to consider taking care of me.
Srsly, the only possibilities for that (and there are a couple) would be 42 to 45 years old.

Tough call, at that point they've already had it established who their 'mother' is even though it isn't their real mother.

Since he/she probably has parents already I would approach it very gently. I would want he/she in my life if I were the biological father.
