That day, I understood something beautiful: being a father isn&#8217;t defined by DNA, but by the love, commitment, and choices that build a family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When my son Noah was eight, a DNA test during my divorce revealed that I wasn&#8217;t his biological father.
