Farquharson’s love for his sons is evident as he gently hugs and calms them whenever they get overly anxious. The twins also have another man’s surname, but this does not prevent Farquharson from caring for his children.
“Is another man name she (the mother) put on the birth certificate and a tell me say a mistake, but me know is no mistake. I know they are my children, and me nah give up on them. More time me try call her, and she nuh ansa. But me need her to come and change the name on the birth paper so me can sort out me kids properly,” he said.
Farquharson said that seeking financial assistance was the last thing on his agenda, but he does not see another way out.
“I would still push the effort and go work although me not in the best shape, but it hard to leave them because I have to watch them a lot. Me nuh waa leave them at people yard because a nuh everyone a go understand dem behaviour,” he said.
