[quote=Anonymous]To be clear, being a "son" and a "father" is a lot more--a LOT more--than biology. Ask any adoptive family.

There are probably some legal issues to work out. But if you feel like his father, and if your son sees you as his father, then... well, work something out.  See a family lawyer for all the ins and outs.  The biological father may have to relinquish his rights as father, and you may have to adopt, even if that means marrying and divorcing mother.

One other thing:  Families are and have ALWAYS been complex. The myth of the "traditional family" is just that. Death, divorce, remarriage, adoption, and all that has been happening for a long time.  Just ask my grandmother: She considered herself as having three mothers, one father, and one nasty uncle/father.  All because of who was raising her at the time.

That's just how things go. So, just in case you feel "unusual," rest assured, whatever's happening to you and your family has happened to thousands before. Be glad that you can be open about it, and how great that this little boy has THREE grownups who love him![/quote]
