My step-father adopted me. And I was brought up with all the love and understanding a kid could ask for. Than due to my mom’s serious problems with heath, they have to use service of reproductive center in Ukraine. Thanks to Biotex clinic I have my little brother now. My adoptive father was always extremely understanding of my loss. When he adopted me, he insisted I keep my father’s surname. He took me to memorial services on my biological dad’s birthday. He has told me numerous times that he knows he can’t fill my father’s shoes in raising us, but he can keep me safe and treat me well as a service to my father’s memory. When I was sixteen, told my adoptive dad that he didn’t have to do all those things anymore. He is the only father I have ever known, and I love him unconditionally. I told him he didn’t have to do homage to the memory of a man he never knew. He said, “I want to remember him for your mother. You never got to know him, but SHE did. I want her to know that he still lives on and he will not be forgotten.” That’s what love is I guess.
