I like stories like these more than ones where adoptees (or someone being cared for long term by another that is not the biological parent) go off in search for their long lost biological parent.
I always considered the person that raised, loved, and cared for you to be your true parent.
People who say you can’t pick your family may change their mind after learning about teen Lauren Hernandez of Plainfield, Illinois.
This past weekend, Lauren presented her mom’s boyfriend with a very special gift to make their father-daughter relationship official.
Lauren invited family and close friends to the family’s home for a graduation party. At the celebration, she presented a wrapped box to Joe Iosco, her mom’s boyfriend of 17 years.
Joe opened the box and read a framed poem he found inside. Beneath the poem was a second surprise: adoption papers that would legally make Lauren his daughter.
Thanks for sharing this, when he knelt down after reading the adoption papers, I got tears eyed.
