I don't know the guy, nor am I defending him, but that seems like a pretty stand up thing to do.

(Just thought I'd post something up here that wasn't bashing a dead guy.)

He did take over as her guardian but I don't think he formally adopted her. [

He became her guardian first and then adopted her.

...After Graham finished law school and joined the U.S. Air Force as a military lawyer, he took the step to legally adopt Darline. As reported by The Wall Street Journal and NPR, the adoption was primarily a practical and protective decision to ensure she could receive his military and government benefits if anything were to happen to him.
