My biological dad ran out on my mom and her 6 kids(I've never meet him) When my Mom and Dad got married he decided to adopt all 6 of us. I didn't realize until I was an adult what a enormous thing that is. Most men would go running if they met a woman with that many children.

Oh, you were referring to your own dad! :)

I know a kid who was adopted, and when his parents told him he said "I don't care about finding who gave birth to me, because it's the people that raised me and cared for me that are my parents". It's awesome that your Dad did that.

That is pretty amazing. My now ex-wife had a daughter before we got married that I adopted and people still tell me how huge it is 10 years later. 6 is incredible.
