Happy Father's Day to the best dad in the world. Boston and I are so blessed to have Josh in our lives. He is a wonderful father and such a great role model to Boston. I am so happy he wants to be in Boston's life and wants to show him how to fish, take him hunting and show him how to ride a four wheeler.
Growing up I didn't have my dad in my life and now I know he is the one who is greatly missing out. Boston is blessed to have so many great men in his life that are great role models.
To all the AMAZING FATHER's out there in our lives, this is your day and you deserve it!

That's a cute picture of the two!
I just wanted to write you back about Riley's adoption. He searched for his mom his whole life but he had great parents that always supported him in everything he did. Riley knew he was adopted since he was young. It wasn't hidden at all. They even went to the hospital he was born in and took a tour of the hospital. He felt extremely loved but always wondered about his birth parents. His birth parents were something that was in the back of his mind, hoping he will someday find. To him, he wanted to learn about the unknown and wanted to learn about where he came from. There are medical reasons of course for knowing what to watch out for or what he is susceptible to. But also, now that he found his birth mother he realized that connection and bond that they already have because she is his biological mother. I guess a piece of him was missing and he didn't quite realize how big that piece was until he found her.
That seems like a really tough situation with your brother-in-law. I think Riley would've been hurt if he found out that his parents knew that his biological parents wanted him but didn't let him be with them.
Each situation is different but in Riley's case, his mother was young and wasn't married. She wanted Riley to grow up in the church (LDS) and have a better life that she couldn't provide him with. This definitely filled Riley with happiness and hope that they can build a strong relationship. He is very grateful that she gave him up and was able to have these opportunities his parents gave him. Sorry this is so long, I have so many thoughts coming to my mind. I don't even know if I answered any of your questions:) Let me know if you have any other questions!!
Adoption is such a blessing but at the same time a scary thing too! I hope everything works out with your brother-in-law. I know that his child will always think of his biological parents and wonder about them!!
