After 3 Boys, We Gave Up Our Dream of a Daughter—Then My Husband Called Me to the Hospital and Said, “There’s a Baby Here”
Her progress.
Our home.
The efforts to identify any legal father.
The lack of another established parent able to assume care.
Then our attorney addressed the plan to move toward adoption.
I held Marcus’s hand.
For the first time since the hospital, he was the one shaking more than I was.
The judge asked me why we wanted to adopt Maya.
