I was doing a bit of STalking this AM and my smart phone did what a smart phone does and pulled up a song by Brandan Davis.

I shared it with my bride, she was raised by her daddy (Step Dad).  

We held each other and cried.  Happy tears.

Step by Step

Well I wasn't there to see the first steps
Or hear the first words
Or watch the doctor bring them in
And there's a lot of time I missed out on I'll never get back again

Call it stepping up or stepping in
But step by step my world went spinning
Around that little heart and angel face
They're growing up and I'm growing old
Making memories we'll always hold
But I thank God for sending them my way
Cause it ain't my blood or DNA that made that precious child
But it don't take rocket science to figure out that they're my life

One day they'll have their first kiss
Their first dance
And their I turned 16 car
And I'll be right there when they walk in hurt from their first broken heart
And I'm longing for those moments along with all the ones I missed
I never knew this was how life would turn out
But I'm sure glad it did

Call it stepping up or stepping in
But step by step my world went spinning
Around that little heart and angel face
They're growing up and I'm growing old
Making memories we'll always hold
But I thank God for sending them my way
Cause it ain't my blood or DNA that made that precious child
But it don't take rocket science to figure out that they're my life

One day they'll look back through all these years and I pray that they'll find
That even though they didn't come from me
They know that they're mine

Call it stepping up or stepping in
But step by step my world went spinning
Around that little heart and angel face
They're growing up and I'm growing old
Making memories we'll always hold
But I thank God for sending them my way
Cause it ain't my blood or DNA that made that precious child
But it don't take rocket science to figure out that they're my life

That was wonderful for your wife.  Once for you (you may have already seen this).  Except that...he actually does have your name now!

My Boy

Elvie Shane

He ain't got my smile, that don't bother me a bit
He's got somebody else's eyes I'm seein' myself in
I'm holdin' onto every moment, God knows I've missed a few
The day we met, I knew I had some catchin' up to do

He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
But if he did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for his first steps
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
And that ain't ever gonna change
I could never walk away
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
He ain't my blood, but he's my, he's my boy

It hit me like a train, the first time he called me dad
In a three stick figure crayon picture with all of us holdin' hands
His mama said, "I understand if it's too soon for this"
I didn't let her finish, I took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge, yeah

He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
But if he did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for his first steps
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
And that ain't ever gonna change
I could never walk away
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
He ain't my blood, but he's my, he's my boy

He's Saturday morning cartoons
He's, "Hey, can I sleep in your room?"
He's bigger than the plans I had
He's makin' me a better man

He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
But if he did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for his first steps
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
And that ain't ever gonna change
I could never walk away
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
He ain't my blood, but he's my, he's my boy
Yeah, he's my, he's my boy
