Asking Stepdad To Adopt Me

During a wedding reception, we got permission from my cousin that it was okay to take a little bit of her day. Charlie/my stepdad is obsessed with Star Wars so I decorated a shoe box like so, put a Star Wars fleece blanket in the box along with a box of oreos, adoption papers and a picture frame with a note he gave me a while ago and a note I wrote back to him. Enjoy!

I’m a 71 year old fella & I’ve cried at every one of these. Beautiful 😊❤️

He must be one heck of a guy to deserve such a big honour, and you must be an incredibly nice girl for him to love you the way I can see he does!

[@BluAngeleye77]

Yeah, he coudn't read anything. He was too emotional! Beautiful! Loved his reaction!

[@darrenheadrick3669]

so much for the tough guy image so carefully planned. just kidding. must be one hell of a man to be asked such a big request. many long years filled with joy and happiness.

[@aaronpitts5454]

Thank you for giving this girl the best thing you could have.

[@sarahjohnson2053]

Its ok to cry people let those feelings out! So awesome.

[@mickywhizz6317]

Raw emotion is a beautiful thing, congratulations to you all and enjoy always your special connection.

[@Rikyell]

That was the most warmful hug I've seen

[@RelateGREAT]

Well done, papa! You clearly have done good by that girl. I also have a great step dad who stepped up and who stepped in. He is the true father of my heart and taught me how to be a good man, a good husband, and a good father. So, well done!

beautiful. thanks for sharing i really love these kinds of videos

[@artinheaven4572]

The entire crowd treated him like he was a joke throughout the video, and he never even looked at the poor girl for the first two minutes. I imagine she wondered why she even bothered.

[@thesandman4438]

My brother/half brother we have different fathers. He was going to ask my dad to adopt him and started the paperwork. Mind you, my brother was in his 50's when he started the process. Unfortunately, my brother passed away before he could as my dad. My dad always considered him a son just like me and treated him the same. Miss you Dave!

[@tkvimsavage1886]

Nice story dude....

[@debbiesedillo5811]

So sorry for ur loss.. may God comfort and protect you all do every hard day. I know what it's like to lose, I lost my brother and my sister and it sucks and it's hard but you always got to find ways to get through it. There's always going to be challenges and obstacles especially when the holidays come. God bless you

You know you've done something really right when the child of your significant other asks you to be their real dad or mom.

[@lexthepit1858]

Yes

[@johnrainsman6650]

When I was eight, a fatherless, naïve child, I asked my mom if my sister's dad (who lived hours away) could be my dad. He agreed and I started calling him dad, but stopped at 16. It's been handshakes and casual chats since (when I very rarely saw him). At my sister's wedding, I feel he interacted with me a bit too much: seeing who's taller when I casually mentioned my height, fist-bumping, remarking how good the food looked, praising my heart and apologetic anxiety about possibly hurting someone (when I referenced my lack of filter). I don't exactly know his motive here, but at some point, he said I doubted myself. It was some conversation about pride, I believe. When I denied my self-doubt and said I just didn't like to sound conceited, he said I should see it as confidence and that I was amazing. I'm kinda awkward now--because of sappiness for one thing--but also because...maybe he was just being nice to me? Looking down on me? I mean, you could say I ✌"forced"✌ him to be my dad at one point, so maybe he was ✌"forcing"✌ himself to see my good qualities? Not to say he's a bad guy or snob or anything; absolutely not! Maybe a good guy who made a mistake---condescension? Do you guys understand?

[@lexthepit1858]

I totally get that. I actually don’t talk to this guy anymore (my legal father) due to divorce and personal choices. Things just got weird and I feel like the whole adoption thing and him being my “dad” made him feel more empowered… it was odd:( If I knew then what I know now, I would have done things differently for sure

[@johnrainsman6650]

@@lexthepit1858 oh I’m sorry. What do you mean by “more empowered” and quote marks around “dad”? Divorced, yeah, but he still adopted you

[@jimb7738]

I have a dad but in 1975 my sisters and l got a farther any man can be a dad but it takes a real man to be a farther and this man looks like a farther not a dad congrats to u both

[@Skeeterboatfast]

You could have turned your phone sideways. Duh!

[@f9qo]

It all seems like a very private and personal matter between the person asking to be adopted and the one who can do it. I don't get people sticking their noses in and big mouths saying to read something out loud or whatever else. It disturbs the solemnity of the moment. Did the young lady ask to have a video made at the time? That also seems like her business and not a matter for anybody else to get involved with, unless perhaps she requested it. People like to butt into affairs with their own self importance.

[@debbiesedillo5811]

He showed no emotion I mean granted he might have been in shock but in reality he really showed it didn't matter for the adoption. Very sad very very sad that he reacted the way he did

[@Rand0m411]
