Until she marries
wildcatfan4life
I feel like a step parent who gets a child to change their last voluntarily gets a sense of joy and pride that not many will experience.

I DO NOT LIKE TO FEEL THINGS.

I was so happy when I took my dead beat dad’s name off of my birth certificate.

Did this as an adult. It's been a few years now and I still get a thrill every now and then hearing my last name

They both look as though they deserve each other so much. Blessings on both of them.

Kinda bad timing to be giving him this note after he was cutting onions.

I was given my mother’s last name when I was born leaving my father with no males in his family to pass on the name. I changed mine to his.

As heartwarming as this is, I never get why people record emotional moments like this. I think it’s weird.
TheBretters
To memorize it?
Mokelzwerg
And then at Christmas the whole family looks at the video where dad cries? Still weird.

Hate to be THAT person, but adoptions grant a name change so wouldn't he already know about it? How is it a surprise?
ksparbtacus
He probably married her biological mother. I was in the same situation my "dad" who rasised me was not my biological father but "adopted"1/2
SailorJimmy
Could be "Step-dad" in which case you adopt, but may not opt for name change for several reasons.
ksparbtacus
As a surprise for him. 3/3
ksparbtacus
Me, they didn't have a lot of money so I said we didn't need the papers to know he was my dad. Maybe her and her mom went and got it done2/3
Badhorsethethoroughbredofsin
They might have decided not to change it at the day of the adoption for a variety of reasons. Maybe they were hoping the birth parents 1/2
Badhorsethethoroughbredofsin
Would stay involved 2/2

Coward own your down votes!
StrikeTeamTheta
You, my good sir, are a cunt. In a touching moment you will never understand, you choose to note monetary or socially position. You fail 1/?
StrikeTeamTheta
To realize the emotion behind it, a child chooses to change a major project of their identity to align with someone that is not of their 2/?

StrikeTeamTheta
Instead, you look at his clothes, the clothes of a good, honest, working class man, and downtrodden the moment. Your motives, I've no idea.
StrikeTeamTheta
But you will turn out to be a sad sap is this is your outlook. This image is beautiful, showing the bonding of two amazing people. 4

There waa one of a dozen ways I could commentate on this. The touching/beautiful/watery eyes option seemed to be oversaturated so I went 1/

with the worst, harshest interpretation I could think of....to balance the scales. 2/2

These ALWAYS get me. Don’t know why.

Because you’re a good human being

It's so much better with sound, he tries to hold in the emotions but it's so heartwarming to hear
Roserapaine
It's called having emotions and most creatures have them, it's no need to be alarmed :)
spickate
I.......I can feel?
Roserapaine
Yes! Shhh... It's ok... Don't be afraid. Imgur will help you through this terrifying time.
unclenastyfingers6969
How dare you feel feelings!
spickate
Scenebeanz
Probably because you are not a father yet. And would like to be one. But your wife has fertility issues. :(
spickate
Are you.....a psychic? It’s actually spot on. Do you know me?
Scenebeanz
No. I'm just in that exact situation. It's not my wifes fault so I do not blame her. So we are looking at fostering right now.
spickate
I feel like it is often not their fault. Health issues out of their control. Much love and much luck to you and your lady
WhateverYouTalkedAbout
According to Freud, you're adopted. Trust me, I took two psychology courses
spickate
I often feel that way. Look more like the mailman than my father according to my momma.
lizabean
Me too. I am adopted and even though it was from birth, these videos make me cry. My mom and I always had a poem we said to each other (1/2)
lizabean
“Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, but still uniquely, my own. Never forget for one minute you grew not under my heart but in it”

Abridged due to character limits but still gets the point across

These and the first-time hearing aid/colorblind glasses always get me good too
makelthappen
My favorite one is when the parents hold up a sign in color that say you're adopted
GadenKerensky
Part of that is physical sensory overload too.
spickate
Yes yes yes. It’s crazy.

I don't like the deaf ones because they can be super hurtful to those who are deaf and can't or choose not to get the cochlear implant.
SexDrugsBirdsandRocknRoll
Huh, I hadn't considered that. May I ask, are you deaf?
DreaminFree
No. I am disabled though, so I do get the culture to some extent and the "disability porn" of it where you become an inspiration for smiling
Myothercarisanxwing
What about people that want to? Why limit their lives for others?
DreaminFree
I'm not saying don't get the implant it's when a ton of strangers share it and it goes viral that bothers me, because to many in the deaf 1/
DreaminFree
Community those videos are considered harmful to them, and I don't think its right for hearing people to invade on their culture and life 2/
IJustWantToPlayLeagueOfLegends
i cant imagine what that would be like. Seeing colors for the first time or the babys and hearing their moms would be insane to comprehend
aColorblindPerson
It’s pretty cool honestly, I think people overhype it a tad bit, but it does change a lot
b4k3dg00ds
Its a pretty overwhelming experience, I'm mono chromatic and tried the glasses about 3 years back at a tech con... Weird ass experience man
SexDrugsBirdsandRocknRoll
Right? Getting a totally new sense would be a trip, literally can't imagine it. It certainly does look overwhelming
GadenKerensky
Because, for some, it can be in a more physical manner. Need to get used to it.
adadsupreme
A true expression of actual love. It’s not a common thing, sometimes.

Well, thanks.

Okay...I mean I guess I wasn't expecting you to say it back but like it still hurts a little bit...
quattroformaggix4
Perfectly captures the risk of being hurt. Well done. Ever reciprocated to someone and then have them retract it? That’s fucking savage.

Oh I’m sorry. I love you too, internet user.
