Dear Mike Cares, how would you answer this Dear Abby? *case of the semen pollinator

DEAR ABBY: My daughter and her fiance are intelligent, successful professionals in their early 30s. Her fiance just informed her he was a sperm donor for a friend and his wife a few years ago, resulting in two biological children with one more on the way. He never mentioned this to my daughter before. She suspected that something wasn't right because he would hide his phone (he keeps the children's pictures on it), and she finally confronted him last week. He bonded with the children during the first year of their lives with frequent visits, then tapered off because the friends had become uncomfortable with his being around (the children both closely resemble him). Her fiance says he hasn't seen the children since my daughter began dating him two years ago. He says he tried to put the situation behind him, but confessed that he misses them and didn't realize he would feel this way at the time he donated. Neither he nor the children's parents have legal documents in place, and they skipped getting professional advice, believing it would all be fine because they are good friends. My daughter says she could have accepted that he was a donor and has children, but she is very upset that he hid it from her all this time. They are still engaged, but she has put the wedding plans on hold until they can get through this. They are now talking about counseling. She says her world has been turned upside down. My heart is hurting for her, and we are supportive of any decision she makes. Your opinion is very appreciated. -- SUPPORTIVE IN THE EAST

DEAR SUPPORTIVE IN THE EAST: So, let me get this straight, your daughter is planning to marry Captain Semen Slinger, a secretive secreter and doting father of young growing family located just on the other side of town? Well the good news is, if your daughter and the Slinger ever want to have kids, you can be assured he will be a good father, clearly he has shown signs of both responsibility and interest in raising children, you just have to find out if he has slung that semen elsewhere and how far he has pollinated other flowering mothers in his donor trade zone. My advice is put the wedding off for now until you get to the full story, or you can wait a few years, and then in addition to wedding guests, the chapel will be filled with his many kids as well as all the plaintiffs seeking child support.
