Welcome to the world baby boy Brooks. We couldn't love you more!
As many of you know, Justin and I had been matched with a Birthmother in Ohio due to have a baby girl in Jan. She went into labor early and we caught the first plane we could to pick up baby girl. Sadly, about thirty mins before we got to the hospital, fifteen year old Birthfather showed up claiming his rights. We were heartbroken. While we wanted to give this situation a fair chance to play out, things did not go in our favor and we were aware this adoption would not take place with us.
We got a call that a Birthmother had gone into labor early in Atlanta and had not been matched with a family. There was a baby boy needing a home. So we said a prayer and followed our hearts to Atlanta, Georgia.
Baby Brooks with discharged with us today and is absolutely precious. He is a small guy weighing a little more than 5 lbs. We were meant to be together. There are many personal details to this story that I won't share on here, but we know baby Brooks is ours and we are his!
We are a happy family right now. Thanks to all our family and friends for all your love, support, and prayers.
Yea for BABIES!!!!!!
The cutest African American face I've ever seen!!! And yes, I can say that because Connor is biracial and maintains to be the cutest biracial face I've ever seen!
