Our adoption story...


On Dec. 3rd our homestudy was approved and the very next day Braxton's birth mom choose us to be his parents. We met her about a week later to have dinner with her-open adoption. Braxton was born on Dec. 14, 2014 at 11:22 Am. We were called that morning around 3 I believe to head to the hospital where we waited till our sweet boy was born. It was love at first sight. We love

his birth mom so much..she made some choices during her pregnancy that we were not sure how it would effect him, but God protected our sweet boy and he is perfectly healthy. I am choosing to not go into detail about those choices because I don't want a lot of judgment against her. She made a selfless choice. She has had a hard life and unless you walked in her shoes we just can't sit back and judge her. He weighed 6 lbs and 3 ounces. It took 2 months to fully get rights terminated from both potential birth dads. It was a long wait, but it is finally over. Our adoption happened fairly quick overall. It is crazy to think about how it all worked out for us. Our case workers have been amazing and I love our agency so much! Adoption is really an amazing thing and I can't imagine our lives without our little miracle baby. He is truly a miracle baby to us!
