The relationship I have with my daughter is new and growing every day. The relationship began well before Sophia was born. I would talk to her when she was growing inside her mother’s tummy. I never knew the kind of love I have for Sophia until she was born. She means the world to me, makes me smile (even just thinking about her), and I want nothing but the best for her. Sophia brings a whole new joy to life and I would do anything for her. Chad, 30 Sophia, 9 months
My life with my wonderful daughter and grandsons has been the highlight of my life. This relationship represents the major joy of one’s brief life. Richard, 82 A father-daughter relationship to me is a gift. My father has always been there for me as long as I can remember. Our relationship was built on faith, love and trust. He was always at my extracurricular activities whether it was music, sports or band. He became a grandfather to my sons who loved him as much as I did. Theresa, 57

I was prepared to love having a daughter but I didn’t know how much fun it would be. Nina already has a great sense of humor and loves to make us laugh. Adam I love how much Nina trusts me. She feels safe enough when I’m nearby to be adventurous and exploratory. I love that she is both attached to me and independent. Karl Nina, 1
