To learn more about this issue please [click here](https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/Pages/AAP-Statement-on-Executive-Order-on-Family-Separation.aspx) to read the American Association  of Pediatrics’ statement.

What does it mean to be a son (or daughter)? Being a father is about the relationship. The same is true for being a son. Just as my father’s relationship with me defines him as a father, my relationship with him is what makes me his son.

As I explained, because when you need something it is more of an act of instinct, or survival so the satisfaction in the act is limited. No, when I thought about his question, I smiled and told him, ***“Buddy, I wanted you!”*** I chased after you with all the love of my heart for you and your sisters. All the long nights of paperwork, and worry.  All the driving around and chasing the next authentication or deadline, was not something I needed to do but I wanted to do.  I wanted and chased after all my children as one who loves with reckless abandonment until that day when I had my children in my arms and peace settled into the deepest part of my soul.   That moment happened a year ago last Father’s day, after a long trip to bring home my precious daughter, we just happened to have Father’s day weekend as our first weekend home. As we sat around the table having lunch, an overwhelming feeling hit me and turned to my wife and said, “***This is right, this is what we were meant to be as a family”.***    ***My little ones, my loves, you completed me that Father’s Day and every Father’s Day for all time.*** *- Written by a 3x Gladney dad, Dwight Richmond* [Read More](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/2018/06/12/a-fathers-day-thought-you-complete-me) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/2018/06/12/a-fathers-day-thought-you-complete-me#comments-listing) Topics: [Superkids](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/superkids), [China Adoption](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/china-adoption), [Adoption Stories](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/adoption-stories) ## [Adoption Story Told by Tessa](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/adoption-story-told-by-tessa) Posted by [Tessa](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/author/tessa) on 6/5/18, 2:30 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/hubfs/Tessa.jpg)](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/adoption-story-told-by-tessa) My name is Tessa, and I’m a Gladney Sibling.
