'I'm in love with my dad... and keeping his baby'
A COUPLE are fighting for custody of their baby, taken from them just an hour after it was born because they are FATHER and DAUGHTER.
Sara, 18, and Cris, 36, had their daughter taken away after they went public with their incestuous relationship but insist they are very much in love.
The pair - whose surname is not known - from Mallorca, Spain have been forced to defend their bond even though incest is not illegal in Spain. In fact, Cris doesn’t see what the issue is:
“Our relationship started like they all do, with flirting, getting along and then trust,” he told Spanish publication Cronica Balear.
“We are father and daughter but she never has seen me as a father because, more than a father, I have been a friend.”
Sara, who is the baby’s mother and half-sister, became pregnant at the age of 17 and Cris, who is the baby’s father and grandfather, claims she “always wanted to be a mother”.
The couple say they had been living happily until a month and a half before the baby was born when Cris’ ex (Sara’s mother) reported the pair to the social services, a move that was fuelled by “jealousy”.
“My ex-wife is jealous and cannot understand the relationship. So she is trying to destroy it,” argues Cris.
An hour after the baby girl was born, she was taken into custody and the pair have not seen her since.
Sara and Cris were told that they had two options: either Sara would have to give up the child for adoption or move away and raise the baby alone.
The father and new grandfather has some choice words for people quick to judge his actions: “I respect their opinion but I do not care.”
