A Father's Day Card for Birth Fathers / Found Fathers This poignant "Stars Aligned" Father's Day card for first father / birth father / found father, captures the profound moment of connecting with a biological father for the first time. Featuring a stunning celestial design with stars and moon imagery that symbolizes your enduring connection across time and distance, this card expresses what traditional greeting cards miss. Great for reunited adoptees, donor-conceived, or miss-attributed parentage situations, this heartfelt message acknowledges the genetic bond that existed even during years apart: "ALL THIS TIME, We have shared the same sky, the same clouds, the same moon, the same genes. Now that our stars have aligned, I'm so thankful for the chance to know you — the man whose DNA has shaped me all along." Perfect for adoption reunions, DNA discoveries, and those meaningful Father's Day celebrations together. Designed by an adoptee who found her biological family and discovered there were no cards on the market that authentically captured these complex emotions and profound connections, this card fills a significant void for those navigating the unique journey of family reunion. Product features - Vibrant colors with the latest printing techniques for stunning designs - Premium 270gsm paper available in various finishes - Overlapping front cover with an industry-standard gap - Double-sided print with multiple options for size and format - Envelopes included for each card for easy sending
