When I became a father, it wasn’t through biology, but through tragedy. A close friend of mine and her husband died suddenly, leaving behind their three-month-old baby girl. With no other family to care for her, I chose to step in. I had known her parents most of my life, and though I’d never planned on raising a child, it felt like the only right thing to do.
I adopted her, raised her as my daughter, and over time, she became the center of my world. She knows she’s adopted, and my family knows we’re not biologically related — but to me, that never made a difference. Unfortunately, someone in my life recently decided it did.
