I'm an adult who was adopted as an infant, and I believe adoption is trauma. One step in lessening this trauma would be to abolish adoption as we understand it in the US. In Australia, they practice Other Person Guardianship. Unlike an adoption arrangement, there is no secrecy about the child’s origins, no replacement birth certificate and no pretense. The child’s heritage and history are respected, because he or she remains legally a member of the family of origin and the original parents of the child are still that child’s legal parents. Guardianship is a child centered outcome, based on honesty and respect.
Darling, if you want to be parents, adopt your precious baby. Biology doesn’t make a family…. Love does. I grew up with a biological mother who showed no love. I have a biological son who I love with my whole heart and it made me realise that parents who love and respect their children are more important than dna. My son is now 25.. my husband and I are proud of him, grateful for him, and so close to our beautiful boy. Create your happy and be the parent you want to be ❤
All praises to our Lord Jesus! Just ran across your story on adoption. I thank God that his parents chose to give life. May God bless them. Ezra is truly a gift from God to you and your husband. To see your family share in your joy was priceless. Lil Ezra will be loved by many. Praying for God to continue to bless him and always hide him behind the cross. May he grow up to be a strong man of God.
Your story is so beautiful! My husband and I are beginning the adoption process and your story just gave us so much hope and inspiration. Thank you for sharing!
This video made me cry, my husband and I are planning on adopting when the time is right. My husband has a genetic disorder that we don’t want to risk conceiving naturally so we have really had a heart for adopting recently. This video gives me so much hope, I can’t wait till God tells us it’s the right time for us to adopt. Thank you for sharing congratulations
123 is my son’s birthday. His birth and life story is one miracle after another. I hope one day he will be strong enough to tell it. I hope your boy is as strong and happy as mine. ❤
I'm in the process of adopting a baby boy after convincing myself that motherhood wasn't for me. Life has a way of revealing it's truth when the time is right. It's all in God's plan. ❤️. I lost my mom last year and get to welcome a new soul this year. My heart is so full watching this. Thanks for sharing ☺️
What a happy ending to a beautiful story,Ezera has beautiful parents,hes one lucky little boy,I cant stop crying with joy for you both,please give us an update,with love from the uk.xxxx
You couldn't love that dear child more. May God bless you both and your beloved son through all the days ahead, the rough and the smooth. As well as loving and honouring you both, I pray that He will love and honour the Lord who gave you all to each other.
Two of our children are adopted and i love watching these wonderful videos as they bring back so many memories. I can still remember how they felt in my arms the first time i held them
I am only 6 minutes into your video and crying with happiness for you. The most special news…. You’re going to be parents ❤. It’s beautiful but surreal seeing the emotions… shock, excitement, reality, nerves, happiness…. All the emotions we have as expectant parents…. No matter how we become parents. I’ve been watching adoption videos and realise how pregnancy can be taken for granted by us who never experienced infertility. I ache that you struggled and waited so long to have your baby.. Ezra will be loved, so happy that he was chosen by you… mom and dad. ❤❤❤
You are so blessed!! I'm over here in tears especially the part where you are speaking to baby Ezra. 💙 Congratulations to you all! I am so, so happy for your beautiful family.
Ezra was born in the nick of time. The world shut down, and your parents just had nothing more to do than love on and take care of you. Bless your baby heart

This! ❤ It also sounds so selfish when APs hope or pray for a match with an unborn baby. Because that’s literally hoping a mother doesn’t want to, or can, take care of her child.
Iam so glad that you and your husband. Were able to adopt a beautiful baby boy I was adopted myself and my parents told me when I was little and I don’t mind it and I did have a biological sister I met her and I look like it was shocking
I’ve been trying for 10 years to become a mother I had 7 miscarriage I’m 31 my friend currently pregnant I’m adopting her baby . Can you please share some fears you had ? Will you ever let you child know he was adopted?
Dont know u as people youll be wonderful parnts Jesus says those that wait up thay will amout as easgels Im sooo happy for u and your husband will be azaming parnets Love this vido family all😢😢😢😊
Why did the birth parents put him up for adoption when they already had a daughter? Were they teen parents or parents or something? What is their story?
you all will make wonderful parents, I just know it! Wish you your family of 3 the best is yet to come God Bless! The baby is goeorgous what a bittersweet journey. Thanks for sharing

@ShieldsSamantha I shared this with my adopted son who is a therapist and he couldn't disagree with you more
I think that more churches should set up pages to help facilitate this.
😭❤ Love this
You are still beautiful with out your makeup
Beautiful lady
Love all the Harry Potter stuff!
❤
Will this be an open adoption
Looks similar to Daddy!
❤️
Amateli poveri bambini hanno bisogno di una famiglia😘👨💼🙎♀️✌✌

Why did the birth parents put him up for adoption when they already had a daughter? Were they teen parents or parents or something? What is their story?
I was wondering about that too - possibly financial reasons ??
Congratulations 💙!
