ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND EDITIONS, JAN. 21-22 - In this Jan. 10, 2017 photo, North Port Charlotte, Fla., resident Matthew Bolton poses with a photo of who he has been told and believes is his daughter, Ava. Bolton, 33, didn’t know he fathered twins Patrick and Ava during a short affair with their mother Destiny Swan, while both were separated from long-term partners in 2015. Bolton says he wants his 7-month-old twins back. Then he realizes “back” is the wrong word. “I never had them,”’ he says. “I never had the chance.” And he's fighting for that right.
