This one( there are 3, and the whole situation is more complicated than I'd get into on a forum) knows his bio dad. The reality is he will likely not meet him in person again until he's an adult.

Im doing everything I can to see all of them happy, healthy, and doing as much as my limited funds allow. I had to help explain to him earlier this year that his little brother( half brother through dad) had died, and that "dad" was not going to be around anymore( it's probably worse than it sounds...).

Im just happy i cam be there for all of them right now. We did family photos today and shpt fireworks tonight...ive been asked 100 times when we're going fishing again!

I want to take him to shoot soon, but we're working on some behavorial/trust issues. ODD runs in the family, and he is displaying early signs quite brilliantly. I've never dealt with that issue before, it's absolutely wild to see him flair and suddenly refuse to do something you're asking him to, even if it would benefit/make him happy.
