    He’s not a step dad anymore.

In the future, I'm either going to do foster to adopt here or adopt from Nigeria, as those are the more affordable options. I have have felt that calling since I was in high school🤷🏾‍♀️.

I miss her everyday, how I wish I could have had a step parent that helped fill that void. For all those moms and dads out there that selflessly took on that role out of pure love, may god bless you for being the example of what loving another person really is. God bless.

    OMG this has me just bawling. I know the feeling of this young man and I’m so happy for him that he will get his wish. My dad is also my stepdad and though he didn’t help raise me, as he married my mom when I was 26 years old, he has been everything my bio father never was and I love him so dearly!! I didn’t think of it when we were all younger but just before his 90th birthday I realized he was coming to the end of his life and there was nothing official that said he was my dad so for his birthday I asked him if he would adopt me. I was 59 at the time. He cried and said of course. He said he always loved me like one of his real daughters and e always felt my love for him as well. Sadly, my step siblings thought it was rather a strange request at this time in our lives and so my dad said he had to respect his kids feelings. I said I understood but it broke my heart. I wanted something on paper that said this wonderful man has been my dad and we love each other deeply as father and daughter. I’m so happy for this young man and his dad. Blended families can some times be challenging and when you find the ones with deep genuine love and respect, they are a precious gift. Congratulations dad and son!!!

      If he really felt like and treated you as one of his own, he wouldn't have put "his kids" feelings first and denied your request, as that's something between you and him. Not them and not when hes a grown man, let alone 90 years old.
      Not only to tell their father not to adopt you but not consider you were probably also grieving just as hard as them as you all knew his time was coming.
      Sorry if that sounded mean, I just got way too upset and frustrated on your behalf. I just feel so bad.
      My real father died less than two months ago and I live with my stepdad and mom, I couldn't imagine my stepdads son telling him not to accept my adoption papers, I'd never be able to let that go i guess

    These dead be dads who aren’t in there children’s lives. I hope they live with guilt for being such selfish pathetic losers who only think of themselves and chose to have nothing to do with there kids. This young man really lucked out by getting a father who loved him so much to raise him as his own.
    Please fir give me if it turns out that his real father passed away.
    But there are so many dead beat dads who walk away from there kids it is just sickening how selfish these jerks can be.
    This young man is very lucky.

    Awesome shit to really open up and tell what’s inside !!! A dude really doesn’t open up like this much , we have feelings , just not always do we let them out until special people make us understand it’s ok to open up .
