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 had a birth father and a dad...

[@suziboggus5206]

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!

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.
