At age six, I was taken by CPS from my abusive mom to live with my bio-dad and his husband. I had a lot of issues to work through, and at 14 (around the month of June) I attempted suicide, because my mother was threatening to take my dads to court to get custody of me again. I failed (thankfully), she failed (also thankfully).
That Christmas, I got normal presents, but then my dads took me aside and my non-biological father presented me with adoption papers that would make him legally my dad too and not just my step-dad. It was an amazing experience to know that after all I put them through, that both my bio dad and my non-bio dad still wanted me and loved me. We got the adoption finalized, and that remains the best Christmas present I ever got.
