An Open Adoption Documentary: The Story of Madeline Brooke

[@JourdanHathaway]

Thanks for the continued support of our story. 3 years later - the birthmom came over last weekend to hang out. She wanted to share all about her college experience and recent milestones. We swam in the pool where Maddie showed off her new skill - cannon balls! Maddie and her brother freely swam between all of us. Our relationship has grown organically and becomes more beautiful every day. We share our feelings - happy, sad or otherwise and continue to respect and love one another.

[@Thunderbold32]

This is such a awesome story. I had to give my little girl up for adoption 13 years ago and I have a open adoption and was promised so much but after I had to give her up. The adoption parents disappeared and was lied to. Sad

[@jalphonso1515]

I simply don't understand how a single soul could thumb down this video. So inspiring, touching, and beautiful. Especially heartrending was the way Autumn ended her letter with her name and not as "Mom". That is so noble of her. God bless all four parents, biological and adoptive.

[@JourdanHathaway]

Thank you to everyone who continues to stumble upon our video and enjoys watching our story. This morning my sweet girl was in my closet wearing two of mommy's high heels (in her Mickey Mouse pj's) and her brother (my bio son) was in daddy's closet trying on his hats. They were parading in our room doing a fashion show. I couldn't help but think, "this is what life is all about." I hope I never ever forget a single moment of what each day is like with our two blessings.

You guys are wonderful people Im a mother of 2 daughters. They are 10 yrs apart. I have a 9 month old and a 10 going on 11 yr old . Children are truly blessings and i can empathize with you as a mother. Im sorry you lost one . My heart goes out to you . My sis in law is having trouble getting pregnant and it's very emotionally hard for her . She has had 7 miscarriages and it's been a tough road. I am happy to see you got to adopt. That makes me happy to see wonderful people like you guys getting a baby .

Jourdan Hathaway is the birth mom still involved?

[@janwhittiker7290]

Such a beautiful story! I am the mother of an adopted son who just turned 14. We see his “first mom” and her family several times a year. We are close and love her dearly. I am so thankful my son will always know who his birth mom is and love her. 1 Samuel 1:27

[@pennyclarke]

I love to know my birth mum

[@lindakurtz2653]

What a wonderful example for future adoptive families. You see so many adoptees and birth parents yearning for that biological connection, always feeling as if a piece of them is missing- what a wonderful gift all around.

[@Isabella-o6j]

Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your story. We are in the process of adopting a little girl, and her mommy is 16 years-old. We know God has placed us in her life to support her through this pregnancy no matter what the outcome. We love her dearly! I'm thankful that a VERY open adoption can work this way. It's exactly what we have hoped for. Many blessings to you you and your sweet family.

[@gcbbbella]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. We are adopting a baby girl in May. Our birth mother is truly a remarkable woman. I am brought to my knees everyday in awe of GOD's precious gift. Not only are we being blessed with this sweet little girl, but we are gaining a sister for life who picked us to raise and love her baby. May GOD continue to bless your family and I pray for Autumn to have a wonderful life full of love, peace, and happiness. We will be posting our story soon!

[@JourdanHathaway]

It's been two years since our placement and it gets more amazing each and every day. This weekend was our summer visitation with our incredible birth parents. We had such a great time and all of us treasure the get-togethers to celebrate all of life's blessings. Both of the birth parents are now in college and we couldn't be more proud of them. I wish I could bottle up this moment in time because our two toddlers are just the best thing on the planet. I could live forever in their snuggles.

[@autumnfisherrr26]

This video is the most beautiful video I've ever seen in my life. I'm so grateful for the way that everything that has happened to our beautiful blended family! Each person that has been involved in this is a blessing in my life. I hope that people will see this and be positively impacted by the beautiful story that's touch all of our lives in such amazing ways. This is the best story I've ever heard in my life and I'm proud to be a part of this story.

[@roseharvey2664]

I must say that is a lovely adoption. All the parents truly want what is best for their daughter. Autumn's letter says it all. The fact that the parents care for how Autumn feels as well as the baby, will mean so much to Maddie when she grows up. Maddie won't have to come to terms with her bio family, will know if she has siblings etc.. Very unselfish people they all deserve happiness.

[@brookefairley76]

Thanks for sharing your story. I was adopted in a closed adoption and just recently found out who my birth mother is much to her chagrin. She has not written back to me in a year. She may never.I really feel blessed to have been able to see your story, to get a better understanding of the stages of grief that birth mothers go through. You are all brave,

[@victoriagrace5570]

I am only 6 weeks pregnant but I already know I cant keep it. Looking into adoption for my baby because I do want him or her to have the best life possible.

As a person who works in open adoption, in Edmonton AB Canada, I am thrilled to have come across this story and looking forward to sharing your story with others. Thank you!

[@JourdanHathaway]

Edie Pendleton Please do! Our blended family gets more wonderful by the year. I couldn't imagine our life without our adopted child nor her wonderful birth parents. We are now 5 years into our journey and it's grown more beautiful than any of us could have ever imagine.

[@ediependleton4113]

I showed your video this weekend to four prospective adopting parents and they LOVED and appreciated watching and learning from your experiences! Are you in/from Canada or the US? Just curious.

I don't feel alone on the teary letter Autumn wrote. Very strong she was for doing the right thing at her age!!!

[@beckygomez8029]

my husband & I would love to adopt . this story made me realize the love & Gods blessing is everywhere.

[@ErinGaynor]

Thank you for sharing this story with us! I am an adoptive parent x2 and a birth parent x4. I wish there were more people who cared about the birth parent. We've always attempted to make her feel as involved in the kids' life as possible, Our older kids met her, and have formed a relationship with her, as have my husband and I. She is a true blessing to know and have in our lives. And she gave us the greatest gift we could ever imagine.

[@balramgurung6125]

She is the BLESSED one. You lost five babies before she came into your life. As soon as you got HER, GOD gave you another baby. GOD bless this girl.

[@arlenehobbs6104]

I done seen some it special adoption stories a lot of them has made me cry and has been very heart touching. I think God for the blessings 4him blessing these families to adopt these children I know it's hard on the mothers and families that are. I'm a single mom and I have my first child when I was 14 years old being that young it's really hard by the grace of God I'm glad I was able to raise my daughter. But sometimes I wish me and my daughter was adopted. I pray God continue to watch over these families in that this beautiful princess know that she has two families that will love her very much God bless 😍👼🙏💖

[@susanlangley]

This is a great video about a teenager’s unconditional love for her child and the adoptive parent’s wiliness to, not only open their hearts to the child but also the birth parents. Open adoption is a great alternative; hopefully this video will touch and educate others. Great school project Autumn, best of luck as you go off to college.

[@jayjay91113]

This... This is by far my FAVORITE adoption video yet.

[@JourdanHathaway]

+Jennifer Knapp Thank you! We are so glad to hear that. Madeline is now 6. On mother's day we went to visit her birth mom at her job and we all had lunch. 6 years later, it continues to be an amazing journey that is would have been impossible to imagine.

That was so beautiful. My husband and I are walking through preparations for an open adoption right now. We are developing a wonderful relationship with the birth mother. She is due in January and we are so excited about being there with her, and sharing all the special moments with her as little Haniah grows up. Thank you for sharing your story. It is beautiful and encouraging. :) There are many parallels to ours.

[@hadleyanderson9225]

I'm debating between three different sets of parents at the moment to adopt the baby I am carrying. I can't call it "my" baby because she's not mine, she's someone else's and I'm just carrying her. God decided that I would carry this precious life and some wonderful people or person would raise her. The baby was conceived through non-consensual intercourse and I know that I couldn't ever look at her face everyday knowing where she came from, yet she's still a part of me and I want nothing but the best for her. This, and many other videos, make me feel so much better about my choice of adoption. The thing that matters the most is knowing that your child has the best opportunities, love and life possible. May God bless you all.

[@hadleyanderson9225]

***** Thank you so much for your kind words. God has a plan for everything, It's a hard situation, so it's also hard to know what to say and how to talk about it. I have chosen a wonderful couple and I know that they will give her the life she deserves... That is all that matters.

[@JourdanHathaway]

+Hadley Anderson I am so happy to hear you've found a forever home for your baby. I am in awe of your bravery and sacrifice to find the baby a loving home despite the circumstances that brought him/her here. May you find healing and happiness in the future.

[@anneanne9009]

I was lucky. I went through a few profiles, picked the parents I wanted, gave my older kids the same options and they picked the same people. 9 years later, no regrets. Their child, not mine and open enough that I know he's doing great.

[@utopia5534]

Giving a child up is not an easy decision, I should know, I wasn't lucky enough to have an open adoption, weren't legal in the UK then, I think about him a lot n wonder how his life turned out, I hope and pray it was good, I wonder if he knows, thinks about me, at the end of the day somebody else brought him up but he is still my baby and my flesh and blood, it was a decision that was right for me at the time as I was very young, but as I grew up and had more children I regretted it and felt like I had abandoned my son which I still feel like, I am sorry for what you went through, that's a horrific way for a child to be conceived and horrific for you, sounds like your making the right decision for you, also a blessing for someone unable to conceive, I really wish you all the best and God bless

[@cindyjones8232]

God bless you all wonderful

[@karenhaskell5747]

This is the second time I have seen this type of adoption. I witnessed this through a friends adoption, for her son. God Bless you for agreeing to an open adoption. This will be so beneficial for the child in later years.

Insightful and inspiring. This is what should be the baseline of any relationship - acceptance, respect, sharing and loving. Social Worker , Birth Mother and Mother - there was so much to know from each of them And thankfully no overdose of religious beliefs and quotes

[@meghangossett3091]

Jourdan Hathaway Thank you for sharing your story. It is truly touching. I'm in a situation where I'm pregnant with twins. I'm so truly torn about adoption. I love them and care about them but I don't have the means or support to care for them. I lost my parents in 2009 and I don't have the support of family or their father. It saddens me because I feel like they deserve better but I don't want to feel Like I'm abandoning them either. It's so truly heart wrenching

[@christinefisher550]

This story is so special and it really shows how an open adoption can be such a wonderful thing. It made the two families strong. I am so proud of you Autumn.

[@annierowlands2038]

I was a 15 year old mummy and can't even imagine what this young girl went through

[@JourdanHathaway]

Jocelyn, I know there are many painful stories for both adoptive parents and birth parents. I am sorry you've endured pain, but I'm happy you can see there are many beautiful, loving, supportive stories as well. We continue to grow as a family and love our birth parents immensely. We sent flowers and hand made cards for mother's day (it's now 3 years later) and never imagine a day not filled with the positive celebration of such love. I will pray for your heart to heal!

[@katiebaird7289]

This is a wonderful story. These adoptive parents are absoulty wonderful. They really keep the birth mother involved.

[@rosebud7105]

My husband and I have been going through infertility treatments and have no success. Just this past week we lost the last two embryos upon unfreezing -- even before transferring them back into my womb. Such heartbreak and sorrow! Now we're beginning to look at adoption -- our Plan 'B' -- praying about what God wants us to do and how we can make it all work financially if we go forward with private adoption. Thank you for sharing this video...it's been helpful to watch. :)

[@kmc4k]

Absolutely beautiful!!!! God works all things together for good for those that love him and seek His will! Two families - greatly blessed!!!

[@lucaswheatcroft]

This is a powerful story, someone must have been slicing onions (I cried!)... I am so happy for the couple who was able to adopt this child, and I'm pleased that the biological mother gets along well with the adoptive parents and gets to be a part of this. The couple tried "getting pregnant" five times in three years without success, but I think God had a plan: to introduce Madeline into their lives. I think I appreciate the story on a personal level because my parents adopted me from Romania a year after my mother died at a very young age (and the father was out of the picture), and I was in the Oradea Children's Hospital for months as an infant where my chances of growing into a healthy individual were slim. I am indebted to my parents for bringing me into their lives and raising me as their own, and I advocate for adoptions because millions of children around the world are in need of loving families. I'm actually studying in university to become a clinical social worker and I'd like to get some experience working with prospective parents who want to adopt children. Perhaps my experiences as an infant and toddler have made realize that life is a gift that can only be lived once, and in this lifetime I must help to better the human condition through nurturance and compassion for people.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

This is crazy!!!! I can't tell you how many times I've heard of a couple trying for years to get pregnant and can't and when they finally give up and adopt, they get pregnant right after the adoption. It's like the pressure is off or something and their body relaxed and does what it should.

[@ilovenoodles7483]

That's what happened to the adopted parents of my son and it was really sweet because the adopted mother genuinely cared so much about him that she was worried that bringing a second child into the family will take attention away from him, it didn't, but such a motherly thing to think.

[@koisneurotypical]

that's exactly what I was thinking. Imagine losing five babies, only to have one right after an adoption. It makes you wonder how much stress factors into each pregnancy. I was very stressed during my pregnancy because my marriage was crumbling. My daughter, who I love dearly, is autistic. It's hard not to blame yourself. Anyhow, I 100% agree with you- stress definitely must play into it (not all, of course, but it's a big factor).

[@JustoErnestoCob]

Indeed, the Lord is always caring. He places the couple that well really take care of the baby given in adoption. My wife and I adopted a child. He is now nine years old and we are really grateful with the Lord of this opportunity he gave us to feel parenthood.

[@phantomvampyressshadowkiss4690]

This is a beautiful story. Im so happy you gave your baby wonderful loving people. This gives me hope for people . I commend you for choosing adoption over abortion. I hope you are all blessed and doing awesome. It's always good to be in depth with adoption. I think we should have it easier for adopting in usa so people who can't have children can adopt from our own country. I give all of you credit who adopt out instead of aborting. Your doing a wonderful thing.

As many of you know we are approved to adopt! This Christmas season I pray for every mother in a tough decision, and every baby and child who doesn't have their forever family yet. Even though we are approved and ready to go... I don't know where our next baby is or where she/he will come from... However, I send out prayers and extra angels to watch over the mother and baby wherever they may be. I pray they feel safe. I pray they have food and shelter. I pray their medical needs are being met. I pray for the mother and her difficult decision that she will have peace in knowing that her little baby will be loved and never taken for granted. I pray for comfort in knowing that her baby will be safe and happy. I pray that she will know that we will always keep the mother in our prayers, even after we take the baby home. I pray that people can realize that she isnt a bad person, and that it is a selfless decision made out of love. Open the hearts of the folks around them, and take away judgment. Help them realize that she wants to keep it, but feels the child will have better opportunities in life than she can provide at this current moment. I pray that the people surrounding her... support her... and understand that she does and will always love this child as much as we do, just from afar. I pray she knows in her heart that her baby will always know of her strong love. Give her relief in knowing that her baby will have a mommy, a daddy, and 2 awesome big brothers to protect it and love it forever. Bless both of these precious souls, children of God. Amen. email us at [e-mail] if you are looking for a forever family... Bless you in this tough time!

A wonderful story and a beautiful baby girl.

[@praize100]

A most special, blessed & heartwarming story indeed which shows what can happen when four adults decide to be open to the best potentials of shared goodness, goodwill & love between all of them to ensure that a little girl has the very best that God can provide for her from conjoined hearts of care: congratulations & hugs to all four of you!:) I am a 64 yr old Aussie birth-mother whose eldest son was adopted out as a baby in 1969 in a closed adoption before open adoptions were possible & before the inauguration of the Single Mother's Benefit, 3 yrs later, in 1973. Under new legislation 20 yrs later, which made it possible for me to trace my son through the name on his 2nd birth certificate, my son & I were eventually reunited on his 22nd birthday in 1991 - he is now 44 yrs old! His adoptive parents are good souls & I was invited to a couple of his interstate graduation ceremonies (he has five degrees & has been a uni lecturer) as well as to his marriage in another country & to his daughter's interstate confirmation ceremony. 5 years ago, in 2009, when his health deteriorated suddenly and his marriage ended, given that his adoptive parents were 10 and 20 yrs older than myself respectively & in ill health, they asked if I would have him live with me interstate & look after him. So, in a rather unusual & shared manner, I became a late life senior Mum at age 60 (!) & my 6 foot 4 inches tall son, with whom I have a deep emotional and spiritual bond, came to live with me, where he has been ever since, lol:) Our Lord has such a sense of humour when he arranges His beautiful jigsaw designs: our weekly mother and son date night is Sunday evening Mass together - his adoptive parents are atheists!;) Blessings all:)

[@D_Parks]

praize100 is gods sense of humor at play when he causes (allows) infertility?

[@ilovenoodles7483]

Wow! Your story is beautiful and made me cry. I dream of the day when I can have a good relationship with all my 2 sons. I had an open adoption and through the years, communication drifted and no there is no contact. I contacted the agency to see if they had any updated info. and they said that the adoption agency would get back to me only if the adoptive parents had consented to contact. I hadn't heard from them. It's been a year since then. God is sooo good and I have faith that God is going to work it all out, in Jesus name.

+Brett Duffy Only if the birthparents choose to give up that information during the adoption process. It just depends if they allowed it, but you can contact the agency and find out.

Yes you can know, the laws have changed drastically. Even in closed adoption, the child has rights at 18.

[@kianaone2340]

yes. if the adoption was closed the child still has the right to look for their real parents after the age of 18. just have to talk to the adoption agency the child was adopted from
