Adopting Complications
Sarah and Andy waited to get shortlisted by a birth mother who would love them to raise her baby. They went through different interviews in different cities and it was a task tougher than they thought it would be. Their desire to have a baby was the only thing that kept them going through the tough times. And why wouldn’t it? They were already parents just without a kid. Now the idea that they were just one call away from knowing their baby, kept them motivated.
Rejected As Parents
The first time they were selected to adopt the baby, both of them started preparing themselves and waiting on the due date. Sadly, the birth mother of the kid changed her mind at the last moment, which left the Justice couple dishearted. They had no clue about how long it might take before someone else selects them and eventually that would complete their family. As adoption seem was the only light they could see at the end of the tunnel. They called the adoption agency and said they’ll continue waiting for it as they were before.
Yet Another Time
Sarah remembers, “Then they changed their minds, it was very hard to get our hopes up like that and then be disappointed and have to start all over.” It was the second time for them and the same thing happened. On one side they respected the birth mother’s decision to keep her baby, and on the other side they ended up feeling helpless and without a little angel cheering their house. The second denial though was a sudden shock and forced them to believe that maybe no one will ever pick them as the parents and they’ll stay childless forever.
The Justices Were Hopeless
After facing rejections twice, Sarah and Andy were assuming that it might never work for them. They were close enough to give up on the whole process. The moment they decided to adopt they knew it will be a long process what they didn’t know was the emotional stress that they’ve to go through while the process is still not moving any further. They were in the middle of a conflict about continuing and giving up. And as time was passing they getting closer to choose the latter.
Good Time Reached Their Door
It was one of those days the Justices were close to giving up on the adoption process that they received a call. A call they were close to stopping the wait for! However, 2 such calls they received before left them depressed. The lady who chose them this time as her kid’s parents sounded sure and even invited the couple to join her during the ultrasound appointment within few days. Both Sarah and Andy were more than sure this time.
Surprising Ultrasound
Sarah to accompanied the birth mom during the ultrasound and there was Sarah looking at the screen not figuring out her baby but knowing that it’s in there. Sarah couldn’t believe that she was sitting there next to this lady, inside whom, her baby was growing. She was already overwhelmed when the doctor said something strange. She was in shock as neither the birth mom nor Sarah herself knew what the adoption agency will say about it.
