Father's Day often centers on biology, but the deepest bonds are not always forged through DNA. In this heartfelt reflection, guest contributor Sarah Patstone honors the man who chose to love, support, and anchor her life. Through grief, gratitude, and the lens of adoption, she explores what it truly means to be a father.

At Enough Adoption Foundation, we recognize that Mother’s Day can hold both love and complexity. For many within the adoption triad, birth mothers, adoptees, and adoptive mothers, the day may bring gratitude, grief, reflection, and questions of belonging. There is no single way to experience Mother’s Day. We believe in making space for every story, honoring the full emotional landscape of adoption with compassion, understanding, and room for each person’s truth.
