SukritiThe Butterfly Effect
“I don’t know what we would have done because we have definitely outgrown our home. So we’re just truly blessed to have friends that will pull together for us like this,” said Marc who couldn’t believe all the support he was getting from the people. With all this generosity and especially the Hadden’s contractor Buddy Satterfield who assisted in adding a fourth bedroom for the new family member. They divided the dining room from the family room. After this partition, there was a fourth room for Gracie.
Father Of The Year
After Gracie’s birth, the Myrtle Beach Fire Department awarded Marc Hadden a Firefighter of the Year award for his determination at the scene of the emergency. Also, for giving Gracie an opportunity to be a part of his family. The man with a generous heart still said that his biggest award is his daughter who came into his life as a blessing. The couple managed to capture her early days of growth and the amazing bond that she shares with her brothers, Will and Parker.
Broaching The Subject
“We told her pretty much from day one. I’ve taken her to the back of the ambulance where she was born, so she knows – no doubt about it,” Marc told in an interview. She was always kept aware of the truth of her adoption, unlike many families who prefer for the kids to be mature enough to know the truth of their adoption.
Not In The Favor
The couple was never in a favor of the idea of giving Gracie a surprise at any point in time. The family together decided to tell her slowly as per her age. Gracie is still a bit young to understand all the things practically. Both Beth and Marc know the importance of this moment and they still have to explain it to Gracie in detail when she is all grown up. For now, Gracie seems to have her own outlook about the things.
Her Take On Things
Gracie who is just 6 years old is aware of the whole story of her birth. She sweetly said when she was asked about it, “my daddy delivered me in the back of an ambulance and helped me take my first breath.” This is because the couple wanted her to know where she came from and therefore they have put more emphasis on it. And the couple is certain that they’ll be by her side as they are now whenever she needs them.
A Daddy’s Girl
Gracie is closest to her father, Marc; the duo shares a special bond. Marc even went on saying,“ she is my best friend. We share an amazing bond.” They love to go out to their favorite restaurant Chick-fil-A and prefer to talk and develop more understanding among themselves every time. They are partners in pranks as Marc adds, “we’re tighter than thieves.”
