Oh and I would have adopted all of you that are not my biological children. Your mom and I talked about it several times, it seemed to WAX and WANE as to whether we should or should not. It was never for me not wanting to.
The only positive spin I can give you is that I still don't have a passport because my birth certificate does not say Deva Bryson Winblood. This is because my step father adopted me giving me his last name and moving my original last name to my middle name. They didn't bother to update my birth certificate.
This is something I need to do and I've found a place that can do it, but I need to get those adoption papers from around 1976 in one of possibly two counties in Colorado before I can make that happen.
So there are some positive things about not having your name changed. :) Your mom and I would have of course made sure that what happened to me didn't happen to you.
