Can I Call You a Dad? | Emotional Adoptions

[@theonionqueen3519]

I was there when my best friend asked her stepdad to adopt her on his birthday. She gave him the papers, he took one look at them, and burst into tears and hugged her so tight. Once he finally stopped crying, he tearfully said “Now the whole world will know what I’ve known in my heart all along….that you’re my little girl.” Not a single dry eye in that room.

I'm 66 And was adopted at 4 weeks old by 2 good people I hate to think what my life would have been without them .

[@jenscheibner792]

My adopted father married my mom when I was 2. H egave me a wonderful life. When I was 50, I contacted my birth father. My half brother told me I was the lucky one, because growing up his dad was an angry alcoholic... When I meet him, he had gotten his life together... God has always had my back and I am truly blessed...

Ho 67 anni ...sono stata adottata all'età di tre anni ... ma purtroppo mia madre adottiva è deceduta quando avevo solo quasi 5 anni ...mio padre mi adorava..ma ha dovuto con dolore mettermi in collegio... abbandonare la marina ( lui era maresciallo ) per trovare lavoro a Milano. Ho dei bei ricordi nonostante con loro sono stata pochissimo ! Subito anche traumi. Quando mi sono sposata io e mio marito dopo vari e tanti controlli e diversi anni non siamo riusciti ad avere un figlio biologico anche se fisicamente entrambi eravamo idonei . Abbiamo intrapreso il percorso dell'adozione un cammino difficile ..un iter burocratico durato 5 anni .....ma non ricordo gioia più grande di quando ho preso in braccio mio figlio ...nostro figlio di 18 mesi ci ha ripagato di tutto! Vedendo questo video non ho trattenuto le lacrime ripensando a quei momenti ... li ho rivissuti ... vedere questi papà che emozione!!! Ci avevamo riprovato per dare un fratellino o sorellina a lui ma non siamo riusciti a partire perché mio marito si è ammalato gravemente e così anche Loremzo ha subito il trauma x la perdita del l suo caro papà 10 anni fa 🙏 darei la vita x mio figlio... ora ha 29 anni .. lavora , convive con la sua compagna e la sua cagnolina ed è un bravo ragazzo ❤l'adozione è un'esperienza straordinaria bellissima!!! ... ci vuole però molta responsabilità ...pazienza ...consapevolezza... se tornassi indietro ? Tante volte prego il Signore ...e ..le dico ..... grazie per il cammino tortuoso e fatto di lunghe attese...... ma alla fine abbiamo ricevuto un dono così grande ! ❤❤❤

[@PeaceDragon9]

I'm 71 and adopted at 3 weeks. They were fine and amazing people. I have a great life because of them. I was very blessed. I met some of my half siblings who were not so fortunate. I hope people realize how extraordinary they are when they adopt. Bless all of you.

My father died when I was 5 or 6, and my mother worked like a dog from that time until she married my stepfather, when I was 8. He was, and is, one of the best human beings I've ever known, and I doubt if my real father could have done as well because he really had problems. I love my stepdad so much for being a GOOD man, taking such good care of our family, and changing my life from what it very likely would have been. Good men are gold.

I was never allowed to adopt any of my "step" kids. Although I spent most of my adult life helping raise someone else's babies, that was as far as it was allowed to go. It's heart breaking to put all your love into someone else's kids, just to be reminded on a regular basis I was NOT their mother and would never be. The first set (1G?1B) the girl was 7 and the boy was 4. As far as their father was concerned, I was just someone who took care of his kids and slept with him. The second set (1G/1B) she was 2 1/2, he was 2 months). They STILL call me Moma to this day. All the kids are adults now and I still love them as if they were my natural kids! When I married my last and best husband, he came with 2 adult boys. I love those two just as much as if I gave birth to them! Yes, a piece of paper that said I was "legally" their mom would have been very nice, but, we all are connected by heart! That's so much better, in my opinion!

That step mother I'm talking about is no longer with my Dad, but she still my mom tho, and will always be. I wont tell my life for telling my life but I think it's a pretty interesting portrait. But the reason why I love her so much is due to the fact that, after my 14 years old, my dad were like, invisible. So we had to team up her and me to raise my little brother and my little Sister. So yeah, I love her as a mother, but also as a team mate. She is a very strong and inteligent person. I clearly wish to be like her since I am old enough to understand what a good human is.

Idk man.. its usually the woman's fault that the relationship didn't work out in the first place. I would only pick up a dead beat dads kids if the mother was committed to me, which, is never the case. They will always put their kids first, above anything, even when they themselves are enabling the children and ruining their lives. There's a huge reason most men won't even come close to a single mother. Nobody wants to meet and get attached to children that aren't theirs just so they can be taken away just as easy.
