@ashroephoto: For many years I have held onto this video. Today the world gets to see it. In 2017, I had my last name legally changed to match my step fathers. I was around 21 at the time, so adoption would have been pointless. But, I wanted to make sure people understood that my step dad gets the credit for raising me, too. From that day forward, he wasn't my step dad anymore. He was my dad. And I have always been proud of my choice. #fyp

mind you, I JUST scrolled from a stepdaughter who used her stepdad's last name for graduation, immediately into this video.

Just reading “happy birthday, the best dad” was probably enough to make his heart swell 🥹

🥹 I practice family law in Fayette County. These are my favorite stories. Also, adult adoption isn’t pointless! Definitely not necessary, but there can be benefits! So happy for your family.

My daughter did this. My husband has loved her as his own for 15 years. The day she turned 19, she changed her last name. So sweet.

What a nice way to honor your step dad's contribution to your life. Step parents always get a bad rap, but the reality is that they have a much harder parenting path than bio parents.
