Father's Day cannot come and go without recognizing Brandon.
Brandon is Tate's birth father and he is unbelievable. We have been so blessed to have him become part of our family. He has been a part from the beginning...we met and fell in love with Brandon before we ever met Tate. To say he is amazing would be a huge understatement. He is truly incredible. This blessing we have with him in our lives is so rare. Not many adoptive families get an amazing relationship with the birth father like we do. It's so much more than we ever could have dreamed.
Brandon has loved Tate intensely and been very special in his and our lives from the beginning.
He has been at every birthday party and we have had a Christmas celebration with him every year since Tate became our son. He attended Tate's dedication, was there when we had the honor of meeting Maggie (Tate's birth mother) and anytime we contact him to get together for dinner or just for fun, he doesn't hesitate...not for even a second. He loves Tate with a father's love and Tate and he have a bond that cannot be described in words. It is a special, non threatening bond that we wouldn't change for anything. It's a blessing from God.
I have compiled a photo from every gathering (aside from a couple I didn't document photographically) we have had with Brandon.

I wish I could express properly how blessed we feel to have this amazing man not only be Tate's birth father, but part of our family. Words diminish the feelings that we have for him and all he's done for us and for Tate. Not in our wildest dreams did we ever imagine we would have this blessing in a birth father. We thank God all the time for Brandon and do our best to continue to show our gratitude to him.
This Father's Day and always, we hope he feels the love we all 3 have for him!
Happy Father's Day, Brandon!
