But, from everything I just read about your Dad, he absolutely knew you were right where you were supposed to be, with him and your mom.
That he noticed your picture was missing, and made a point to put it in its rightful place, that says everything to me about the man he is.
Do yourself a couple of really huge favors.
Go see your Dad. Cover yourself in PPE so that you don't expose yourself to those who are not being careful. You have every right to see him, and you need to see him.
The absolute hell with what anybody else is saying. You have a very special relationship with your Dad, and he needs you there as much as you need to be there.
From what you wrote, it's obvious your Dad loves you very much. And I'm betting it's obvious to everyone else in your family. And they are jealous. Too bad.
I'm going to repeat this part. The absolute hell with what anybody else is saying. You and your Dad deserve the chance to say goodbye. You deserve the chance to tell him that you love him, to thank him for that love. And all the other things you want to say to him. And I bet he has some things he would love to say to you. Don't let anyone take that away from either one of you.
We are all here for you. 
And if you ever want to talk to another adoptee, I am here for you!
