Thanks guys...trust me, I'm more than okay with how my life turned out. My daughter is adopted as well...Cindy's from an early marriage. Her birth father suggested I adopt her, he wanting out of $50 per month child support payments. We couldn't call an attorney fast enough. I guess a "what goes around comes around" thing.
Our daughter is now a 55 years old RN, happily wearing out her 2nd hubby...I figure if you can raise a child to be able to take care of his or her self, make a good living, and stay out of jail, you can say you did your job. But then, being a dad never ends....it's just that roles change. Our daughter was a tremendous help last year when Cindy was in the hospital & rehab. The way she led us through the medical BS and red tape of it all was invaluable.
So, you see, I do "belong" after all.
