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.

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...

Anyone can father a child, but it takes a real man to step up and be a Dad..

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.

These folks have my respect and admiration. What beautiful families they now have because they loved so deeply & selflessly.

I'm not crying, you're crying! Beautiful, I'm so happy for all of them!

If you ever find yourself talking bad about this world…remember that we each have the opportunity to see the glass half empty or full. Instead of chastising the negative, let us spread word of the awe inspiring humanity we each have within us. Both of my parents recently died, and I refuse to waste one day debilitated because of it. I am so fortunate to have had such great people raise. I am the lucky one. It is up to me to give back to those less fortunate. And I’ll tell you, nothing is more rewarding that helping those that truly need it.

Take notice: These are not rich men, but they are men rich in love, commitment, and big hearts who gave everything for these kids who grew up in their car and provision. Just like Jesus, they give their all for their families biological or not. These are FATHERS & HUSBANDS. They deserve all the love and respect we can give them.

My second husband legally adopted my two sons from my first marriage, whose father abandoned them. "Can I call you daddy?" They were the most beautiful words in the English language the day my oldest son said them for the first time to my second husband. That was 52 years ago; my husband served as Best Man at both of the boy's weddings. Sadly, he passed away before the son we had together exchanged wedding vows with his wife. All three of my boys carry his name, as do I.

It's OK guys.Real men cry!

Most men rarely cry and if they do, remember its special.
