say what?

[RootSkier]

Pretty much. I was dragged kicking and screaming into the kid thing. I totally can imagine my life without her.

Same. I love my kids more than anything, but I have zero doubt I could have lived a perfectly happy and fulfilling life without them.

FKNA Splat! Congrats ya fuckin' geezer!

Where's the TR?

[MakersTeleMark]

No pics please.

Fuck you, MTM!!!! You're getting a pic anyways cause I'm extremely proud to be the father of a healthy bouncing 36 year old woman. This is me with Emily, who I raised since 1986, when she was three years old. She asked me to adopt her a couple months ago because I'm the only father she has ever known and I have always loved her as if she was my real daughter. I was kinda surprised when she told me she wanted to do all this, so I did the paperwork and we went to court and made it official with an adult adoption. Emily is pure awesome. The judge was ubercool and posed for a pic with us.

FKNA Splat! Congrats ya fuckin' geezer!

Thanks, Dood! Got a good laugh out of that.

Rock on, Splat and a big congratulations, pops. For a second there, I thought you may have pulled a Mick Jagger. Haha.

[oftpiste]

Takes one to know one....

I hooked up with her mom in 86 and her dad was a drunk cowboy POS. Her mom was a drunk, too, though it was years before I realized it, but I stayed because Emily was a victim of her circumstances and she was just too sweet of a little girl to let those circumstances rule/ruin her life. Here's what she posted on fb:

He taught me to ride a bike and roller skate, to tie my shoes and snap my fingers. Took me on my first roller coaster, and first ski run. Escorted me to father daughter dances and down the aisle on my wedding day. He’s been a part of my life for nearly 33 years... as long as I can remember really. Through all the ups and downs, he has been a constant for me.
My dna may say different, but the truth is, HE is my Dad.

Patricky Splat Kenoreno, I am so thankful for you and the unconditional love that you have shown me. I hope you know that I have thought of YOU as my dad for most of my life.
Today we got to make it official! Legally father and daughter!
Thank you to the Honorable Judge Chuck Weller, for approving our adoption petition and for making the proceedings fun and stress free!

[SumJongGuy]

What's pathetic is people who never get to enjoy the joys of parenthood of any form. Kinda ironic that the dude singing about the joy and challenges here ended up a raging alcoholic Leaving Las Vegas level. He still wrote a song that captures the magnitude and emotion of the moment you find out it's happening


Here's one for Splat! I hope I can sneak this one in to the playlist at my daughter's wedding someday. She's 15 now..
As good as it gets!

[splat]

I think any father would understand the feelings in that song, SJG. Nice.

[AK47bp]

Is there anything cuter than a 3-4 year old little girl?

I doubt it.

I’m pretty much wrapped around my daughter’s finger and she’s made me laugh more than any adult human ever.

Although he also kinda looks like The Big Lebowski:
