Years of infertility and then the long journey the couple had to take to adopt a baby were distressing. It felt like a loop they were stuck in, and there was no way out; however, everything was beautiful when they finally welcomed their first baby, Lemmon, into their lives. The presence of Lemmon in their life was a reminder of all the struggles they had to go through, but it also reminded them to stay thankful for the blessing they now had.
The family of three lived peacefully and cherished every moment. However, once the adoption process for Lemmon was complete, Elizabeth wanted to adopt another baby.
The pull was constant; she knew another baby must soon be welcomed to fill the emptiness. The couple finally decided to visit the agency once again; however, Elizabeth wanted to go for a private adoption this time, one that is done without any third-party involvement. Although multiple doubts and fears crossed their minds, without any delay, the couple shot and uploaded a video telling their story and how they wanted to welcome another baby into their little world.
Now, it was time to be patient. The wait did not last long, as Elizabeth soon received a message on Instagram from a mother who wanted someone to adopt her baby. The couple had received multiple messages since the day they uploaded the video; however, this one caught their eye.
The matter was sensitive, as so many lives were attached to a baby’s adoption, and it had to be dealt with carefully and calmly. Elizabeth, who wanted to respond to the expecting mother, shared her feelings with her husband, who agreed.
Surprisingly, the first time they had a conversation, it felt like they were long-lost sisters, and the bond was meant to be made. Elizabeth shares with the biological mother how, since the day she received the mother’s message, there has been a constant pull, and she continues to feel like some unusual connection is present.
When the mother’s fifth month of pregnancy started, it was the first time the couple met with the mother, and since then, the bond has been continuous. The conversation did not end, and even the mother shared every minor update regarding the pregnancy and the baby. However, the mother still showed confusion regarding whether the baby should be placed with the couple.
Things were tough for the couple during this time, as they also had to go through a failed adoption. However, the couple had already gone through so much and stood firm together, holding each other through thick and thin.
The couple also met the expectant father, and both biological parents mutually agreed that Elizabeth and her husband would adopt the baby. However, everything was monotonous, a balance of love and loss. Days passed, and one night the water broke. It was finally time, so the couple rushed to the hospital to support the parents. What they witnessed there was a miracle for the couple, as their daughter was brought to life!
Everyone in the room was high on emotions, and on the day the baby was finally taken away, Elizabeth hugged the mother and thanked her with a warm hug, as what she had done for the couple couldn’t be returned. It was selfless! They also gave the baby her mother’s middle name to honor the mother. The families are still in touch, and their bond is truly one of a kind!
