    An emotional stepdad was brought to happy tears when his stepdaughter read out the exact number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds he had been in her life, before asking him to adopt her at his wedding to her mom. Santino Novas, known as Tino, had no idea the surprise was coming when stepdaughter Kaydence Diaz, 15, got up to read out her heartfelt speech. Bracing herself to get the timing exactly right, Kaydence paused before reading, "Tino, I've only known you for 365 days, 18 hours, three minutes, and 47 seconds" before adding, "but meeting you was one of the most incredible things that's ever happened [to me]." The 15-year-old then walked over to her stepfather with an envelope, which Tino started to open. As he looked at the paperwork, Tino immediately welled up when he saw that they were adoption papers. Kaydence then asked: "Dad, will you adopt me?"

    My step daughter was nine years old when she asked her mom to ask me if she could call me dad. She is a nurse now and she is my pride and joy. Literally the best thing that ever happened to me.

Can you not 'father' a child without ever being in that childs life? Are you not still that childs father? Being a dad takes way more than 30 minutes with her mom.

    I was in tears watching this. As a man, there is no greater honor than for a kid to want you as their dad. That teenager will grow up knowing what a real man is and be able to make healthy choices. And a real man is not the John Wayne/Rambo Hollywood myth that perpetuates violence.
    Our culture does not provide healthy mentors for either boys or girls and we wonder why kids behavior is over the top. The problem is parents who weren’t properly parented themselves, not taught boundaries or given guidance, cannot be good parents.
    Much respect, love and appreciation to this man for stepping up and showing these young girls what a dad and male role model is.

    When my parents got married (when I was 7) my (step)dad had a part in his speech for me where he pulled me to the front, gave me a ring he had made for me, and asked if he could have the honor of being me dad❤ I said yes, but I had to wait until I was 18 for him to legally adopt me. He’s always loved me, supported me, and been my shoulder to cry on. I love my daddy so much

My brother took on the dad role for his wife's son when he was 2 yrs old, and he's the only dad he's ever known. Everyone has always thought he was his biological son, because they look just like each other. He's now 10 and just asked him to adopt him as well. I feel like those are just meant to be moments!❤

    Children can't choose their parents.. more so their step-parents.
    Growing up with an abusive step-father, I've always envied girls with fathers/step-fathers that loves and cherishes them.
    I grew up scared, alone, reserved, untrusting.. My mom says we used to have fun times but I cried to her stating I don't have memories of them.
    When they finally got divorced almost 30 years later, my mom came to me crying and told me she was "so sorry" that she didn't give me the chance to choose or accept him as my step-father. That she automatically just wanted him to be my father unconditionally.
    If you're planning to introduce a potential mother/father figure to your child, don't force a connection.

    Parenting has nothing to do with DNA.
    Thats her dad. He will be there through the happy times and hold her when her heart breaks. He will be there for every milestone and will be one proud dad. He will walk her down the isle one day as he gives her away. If she has a child, he will be there for her and to welcome his grandbaby into this world. Thats what will make him a dad.
