PART 3<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Several weeks later, the four of us stood in a courthouse hallway. I paced back and forth until June touched my sleeve.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop wearing a hole in the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was when Lisa appeared.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you truly going through with this?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

Several people nearby turned toward us. For the first time since returning, Lisa seemed to understand that the story no longer belonged only to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d Rose replied.<\/p>\n

Lisa looked at the girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you hate me?\u201d<\/p>\n

May shook her head.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. Loving him openly does not mean we hate you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside the courtroom, the judge reviewed the documents and asked whether I understood what the adoption meant. I looked at my girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understood what it meant the night I brought them home from the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

June pushed the pen toward me. My hand began trembling.<\/p>\n

\u201cEasy, Dad,\u201d she whispered. \u201cYou already completed the difficult part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dad.<\/p>\n

That single word nearly broke me.<\/p>\n

Rose signed first. May signed next. Then June added her name. Finally, I signed.<\/p>\n

When we walked back into the courthouse hallway, Lisa was gone. For once, nobody followed the person who chose to leave.<\/p>\n

My daughters stood beside me, all three smiling through their tears. Lisa had given them life. I had given them a home. And that day, they gave me the one thing I had never been brave enough to request.<\/p>\n

They gave me my place in their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
