I read a magazine yesterday about a Mom could not have a kids.She dreamed to be a mother. The couple struggle to have a baby for nine years, going through endless test and costly fertility drug treatments.Nothing worked. Their last hope was in vitro fertilization but it was so expensive. Until one day she set her sights on adoption.But her husband had some fears about being a father to a child who was not a biologically his.One day when they are in the airport waiting for a flight going to her husband family, the couple received a call from a friend who knew about their plans to adopt. Her 18 yrs old daughter was pregnant and had decided not to keep the baby. The couple was schock.They never even contacted yet an adoption agency and suddenly they had to make a very big decision.The couple had to many questions.The answer seemed to be obvious but there was aone major consideration. The birth mother was white.The couple was black and they always assumed they will adopt a black baby. The number of African-American children who need loving home.Her husband had a hard time justifying adopting a baby of another race.Her husband had to many question on his self about adopting a white baby.With those question,his family was supported to the couple.They want the couple to be happy....Once the decision was made, the couple change into shifty gear.The baby will be born in a mont and they worked hard to get the legal adoption paperwork handled before he arrived.A few weeks later after that emotionally painful doctor's visit, the birth mother went into labor. The couple was there present in the delivery room and meither of them will ever forget when the doctor handed to her husband their son. At that moment her husband realized that everything what his wife telling him all along was true."The baby wasnt' a black child or a white.He was our child"


The couple know that another miracle was going to occur 18 months later.His wife become pregnant.She took 3 pregnancy test becasue she could not belive it! Complication forced her to go on total bed rest in her 12th wk and her husband took over their first baby care.The time together sthrengthened their father/son bond even more.The fact that they have different skin colors or that theur first son through adoption has never been an issue for the two boys.The two boys love each other deeply and are fiercly protective to each other.If a stranger asks about their relationship they both say matter-of-factly "HES MY BROTHER".Isnt that great.For this family Im proud of you......
