Reading the thoughts on birth mom made me cry. So beautiful.

[@lindawatkin4411]

Beautiful baby!

[@julieteh4827]

baby is beautiful.... this parent pair is also so beautiful .... God Bless.

[@TaraQuellhorst]

God bless you, too!

[@mariela8040]

This is so beautiful!!! We adopted our son when he was born and he’s now 14 starting High school. God bless you and the birth mother as well.

[@monickalynn4365]

I'm a birth mother-it really is the most painful thing. Even 27 years later. One mother grieves and another experiences the most true joy.It's a loss and a gain simultaneously. My son is successful and is loved by so many. My only regret is his adoptive parents were in their mid/late 40's and have passed away.Just couldn't find a younger couple that felt right for me and my son.They gave him the world and he literally grew up a mile from Disney World.Wish this family the best!

[@jdrose1000]

This is wonderful! They act exactly the same way as if they had him themselves! Doesn’t matter how he came into the world! Love is love!

[@kellycarter3476]

What a blessing. He's precious. Congratulations Mom and Dad !

[@stratplayr6997]

My wife & I are parents of 2 adopted kids. Our son is almost 7 now (about same as as your son), and we picked him up from the hospital as well. This video reminds me so much of that day for us (although he started out as a foster for us). Sometimes I wish we could rewind time and go back to that day. So many mixed emotions between the excitement of meeting him for the first time along with the OMG moment when you haven't cared for a child before & hoping you know what to do. Then we got little sister 2-1/2 years later (our kids have same birth mom, different birth dads) - she was unexpected, so we weren't prepared for her when we got the call from the agency. But it all works out in the end, we wouldn't trade them for anything. God bless you all on your journey together.

[@heathersierra9456]

Awwww they are so adorable. I love it when a family comes together.

[@livinglife8333]

I'll never forget what my sister did when they handed her Thomas for the first time. She was sobbing and kept saying there is a Jesus, there is a Jesus then she handed him to me and went to the garbage can and threw up. 😍😃 I handed right back when she washed her face because she said GIVE ME MY BABY! We all laughed so hard. Thomas is now 21 years old and in the United States Army, we are so proud.

[@TaraQuellhorst]

THIS IS THE BEST STORY! Jesus is real... pukes... I 100% get all those feelings! 21?! WOW. Thank you for sharing!

[@livinglife8333]

Tara Quellhorst hope all is well with your son, God bless.

[@donnavaughn9409]

when a woman gives a baby to a couple, it makes her happy, and all are joyful over this, this is real joy, this is what we look forward to in life, these bonds, and look at the gratitude the couple has

[@1m6_]

That is so reductive and dismissive. There are so many emotions, many painful. You are projecting your feelings of joy from watching this video onto every party in the adoption process. You are only acknowledging the joy. And it was such a general statement too. Many birth mothers, like my own, felt pain too. Many adoptees like myself feel pain/trauma and joy. But nevermind that I guess because "ALL are joyful over this."

[@donnavaughn9409]

@@1m6_ I'm looking at the postive parts to this, I'm sorry that you can only look at the sad parts. I am almost 70, worked for an adoption agency, and I totally understand how difficult it is to turn over a child you carried in your own body, I also know how difficult it is to raise a child alone without a husband, so with that, it is joy for a woman who realizes how much this couple has wanted a baby of their own, to give that child to them, and the joy outweighs the worry. Life is full of both emotions, I didn't mean to discount what we already know is involved, my comment was in seeing the joy that outweighs. And most adoptees do not feel pain and trauma, when they are loved and realize their mom gave them up, they many times try to find the mother to find out why, yes, that's true. But being an adoptee does not usually come with pain and trauma, especially if adopted as a baby.

[@1m6_]

@@donnavaughn9409 it is not true that if you were adopted as a baby you do not feel paint or trauma. I was adopted as a baby. I was not abused. The trauma is the separation. The trauma IS the adoption. Adult adoptees like myself art the least utilized recourse in adoption. Instead people like you who have been apart of the process get to speak for us. We are the only ones who are adopted. You should be active elevating the adult adoptees voices. As someone who is not adopted or not an bio-mother, (from what I know) it is not and will never be your place to say the joy outweighs the pain this is simply not your experience to speak personally on. You have worked in the adoption process for a while but I will have lived as an adoptee for longer that you have worked in the agency. I am the one living as an adoptee. I am the expert in being adopted. If you are setting confirmation bias aside and actively listening to adoptees you aren't listening. At any rate I dont debate people on my lives experiences. Here are some resources you probably won't check out. Maybe an onlooker who cares enough will. Adoptees On- podcast (anywhere you can listen to podecaste) Adoptee lily (An adult adoptee with an informative youtube channel) Liz Latte's Not Your Fairy Tale Ending (this is an article that can found on Google) If you are having a conversation about adoption and are not prioritizing and uplifting and adoptees voice you are having the wrong conversation.

[@ΚριστυΚριστυ-π4κ]

You will be the best parents for this baby!

[@CherryGryffon]

I don't know how, but I actually thought in my head "He looks like a Zeke or a Zach" and then they said his name. Perfection!

[@TaraQuellhorst]

So neat! Must be fate! Love this!

[@madmoose3796]

yer right

[@TaraQuellhorst]

It depends on the route you take. If you adopt through a private agency, yes. If you foster-to-adopt, no.

I truly connect with you & your journey. After 3 IVFs & lost 6 babies in very early pregnancies, my husband & I decided to adopt. We took her home 3 weeks ago when she was 3 days old, now waiting for the open adoption process to complete. When she is truly legally ours, then I can finally let out a big breath of relief!

[@TaraQuellhorst]

How is it going???

@@TaraQuellhorst My husband & I & her bio mom signed the adoption papers last month. Now waiting for the process to legalised & complete which might take another few more months.
