Wishing all the dads, donors, donor-dads, fathers, genetic fathers, social fathers, loving fathers, adoptive fathers, biological fathers, step-fathers, and people who fill the role of father for anyone – a very happy father’s day.
My own dad passed away in 1997, so it’s bittersweet day for me.
For my son Ryan, I am forever grateful to his formerly anonymous sperm donor Lance, and his father Don (Ryan’s biological grandfather), who have both given him a sense of paternal ancestry, acceptance, love and an extended family. Ryan and Lance tell a bit of their story: http://www.onthemedia.org/story/lost-then-found/
