On new year's day 2025 we recieved a phone call that would forever change our lives. We were contacted by Child Protective Services in another state, asking if we would care for our nephew. Little did we know, he was just born and would be spending time in the NICU. We found out he was born addicted to drugs, and had no prenatal care. We drove 900 miles away to pick him up from the hospital to bring him home. Thankfully due to us getting him, he did not get placed into foster care. We were unaware of how adoption works, or how to start the process. We have drained our emergency funds into our nephews medical expenses for his specialty doctors.
We currently have one son who is now 6. We miscarried in 2023 , and ironically the name for our unborn child is actually my nephews name. We took this as a sign from God that this was our path. We are now starting the process of relative adoption with an attorney!
