I am a heart mom and a belly mom of 3 children.
My husband and I had the vision of adopting a child, but we thought it would only be later in our marriage after we had our biological children. But after 8 years of struggling with infertility, we decided that maybe adoption was our route to becoming a family after all, and we started with our adoption journey.
We adopted our son when he was 15 years old in 2015, through local social welfare services. After two years, and with his approval, we three applied for adoption of a baby girl. Yes, the three of us together thought that a baby sister would complete the picture of our family, and our son was just as excited and involved in the process.
November 2017 was the lucky day that we could go and pick up our daughter, she was 5 months old. It was not long after that day that we got the news that I am pregnant too, and quite far along. Our biological daughter was born in 2018 in the same month as her older sister, one year apart in age but arriving home 6 months apart. And what a busy home it turned into!
