Unfortunately, despite his deep desire to adopt them, legal limitations prevented him from doing so.
He explained that adopting girls came with additional legal requirements, which he couldn't meet at the time due to his age and circumstances.
"When I started fathering Morgan I took him with tow other girls Rose and Purity... At that time I was still young legally. I was also struggling , hustling and trying to make ends meet. Legally, I did not fit in the criteria for adopting the kids and especially when they are girls," Bahati revealed.
Bahati, who grew up in a children's home himself, shared how painful it was to make the decision to return the girls to the orphanage.
"I really wanted to give back to the home that made me and the only thing I thought was going back there and give a child a life. But at one point I had to make the hardest decision of my life...
"This one hurt me the most. I was a tricky situation. I am not guarded by law as as much as I wanted to help them, there was no way I could live with these two girls in my house. In a very painful decision, I chose to stay with Morgana and returned the two girls to the children's home," he said.
