What should I do? she is not my daughter

When I was young I was told by my ex-girl friend I am the father of her daughter. I have been caring for the girl since, she is now 19
. I have been married now and have other two children and the girl from my ex leaves with us. Some information came up and there is a possibility that I am not the biological father of this girl.  

I am confused by what to do? should I do DNA test to confirm this? and if it is true what should I do? should tell the girl?. Should I discuss this issue with my wife?


Please advise.

Because you love her, she is your daughter.

First,  I think you should think of what you should do if she's not your blood relative.  What difference,  really,  at this point does it make whether she's blood related to you or not?  Your wife isn't blood related to you,  and she's certainly your family.

I think you should just leave it alone and forget you found out whatever piece of info this is.

Hi, yes i think doing the test would be best to confirm this.
