Re: He Called Me Dad

Rico, I am glad to share in your joy. I am even more glad that 20 years later, God has your entire family in a better place. God is good and faithful.

Re: He Called Me Dad

Rico what a wonderful story yet a very familiar one. I too felt the opposite end of a phone call just like you described just 5 yrs ago and it has since developed into a wonderful relationship with a family I didnt know for 32 yrs. There will always be questions that no one can answer for your son but just know that he is relieved himself that he now knows you and has been able to speak to you and knows the reasons behind and most of all knows that now he has someone else that loves him dearly (even though one knows and is told their whole life that the B-Parents love them its a totally different feeling when they hear those words for themselves) You are blessed and so is that young man

Re: He Called Me Dad--how are you feeling

How are you feeling? Last night you had a pain in your side. Did the ex-lax loosen things up? LOL.

Re: He Called Me Dad

I can tell y'all this much. We now know what next year's tax check is going towards! California here we come!




His mom is gonna put some pictures together and email them to us. When I get them, I am going to do something I have never done before. I am going to post the pictures of my family for you guys to finally see what I look like, and what my kids and Sister Honey Smooches look like. I will also include a pic of our son from California. I've resisted the urge to post my picture, mainly because of my beard (I really do look like a wildman ), but I guess it would be ok. Maybe I'll trim the whole thing up so I look more respectable like.
