Our quest for children started 12 years ago, with many infertility treatments, miscarriages, and failed surrogacy attempts. We always thought an adopted child would not feel like our own, especially since we lost four of our own.
"WOW", we could not have been more wrong. Since he stepped off the plane, we have never felt more love or joy. The happiness he brings the whole family is amazing. From that first night he smiled at every single person who had come to the airport to meet him. Everyone held him, he didn't utter a word or cry once. I feel like our lives have been transformed. I see things through his eyes. Just hearing his little voice makes my heart sing. My husband says to me all the time that he cannot believe how much he loves him. I wish I hadn't wasted all those years trying for a "biological" child. I could not imagine loving any child more than him. He is the reason we are so happy. As a matter of fact, we already submitted our dossier for Louis to have a little sister, so her story should be available next year.
As the saying goes: "God closes one door and opens another." It took me 12 years to understand and believe that, but now I do! There was a reason for all our suffering, to know the pure joy of having him for a son.
