“One day I went to grab the mail, only to find a surprise letter that took me off my guard. I immediately scanned the letter with my phone app and emailed it to his primary care pediatrician. ‘Am I reading what I think I am?’ Literally in shock, after over 1826 days, I was holding a letter that confirmed Joshua, our boy.”
“It’s hard. Like, really, really hard. But do you know something? That wild child of yours. They are every good part of your soul and every brave bone you are missing.”
“My husband looked shell-shocked with a one-year-old baby in each arm. ‘How are we going to do this? We already have two babies.’ I was feeling nauseous and extremely hungry. I also couldn’t stop sleeping.”
“It was hard being in the dark, but it was even harder thinking over and over again we weren’t good enough to be chosen. Grief and anxiety cause irrational fears and feelings of unworthiness, which was exactly what I was tackling. My poor husband felt powerless to help.”

I was constantly battling grief and gratitude, the hard days mixed in with hope for the future, juggling the fears and joys all at the same time.”
“I noticed the ultrasound tech go back to his head and neck to rescan it. I brushed it off as first time mom fears. Then I got the call. ‘You should seriously consider your options here.’ I was now a high risk teen mom, who didn’t have a mom.”
“I once read caring for a child with specials is equivalent to caring for an infant. But for years.”
