Birth father
Not a term we hear often but you were mine.
I don’t know your name but I share your DNA.
You don’t know I exist.
I don’t know if you’re still alive.
So although you didn’t intend to create a baby, and you were never told you had, thank you for your part in my existence.
I like to think on this Father’s Day that sometime through your life, you did get to become someone’s Dad and not just a birth father.
I am so blessed beyond measure to have the Dad I have. The Dad who’s DNA I don’t have but who’s unconditional love I do. To be his favourite daughter because I’m the only one that they adopted.
Wherever you are…. whoever you are… Whatever your life became, I wish you well and I hope it’s a good Father’s Day for you.
