That’s exactly what he did say. We were planning a paternity test but I was only 6 weeks so it was too early, and on the day of my miscarriage my mind didn’t think to ask for a DNA test then. I did call the hospital the next day but was told it was too late

I have put in a call to Medi-Cal, am awaiting a call back on any options I have.

It is quite an unfair situation, I am a bit bitter I suppose, how a man can just walk away free and clear.
