8. A melted heart.
21 years this man has provided for me. With no blood children of his own he has shown me nothing but love and support. He has been the father figure in my life that I may have never gotten. Today I asked him to adopt me. And his reaction melts my heart .. love you dad ♥️ pic.twitter.com/32IckTEHai

10. Long overdue, but now it’s official.
Only the ones closest to me know this… the person who I consider my “dad,” isn’t my biological dad. The man in this video has been in my life since I was 8 months old and raised me as his own. It’s long overdue, but I finally asked him to officially adopt me. love you pops❤️ pic.twitter.com/OUfIGW5XWL
