We adopted a 3-year-old boy, and when my husband tried to bathe him for the first time, he yelled, ‘We need to take him back!’

We adopted a 3-year-old boy, and when my husband tried to…

I’ve been married to my husband for 10 years, and after struggling to have a child, we decided to adopt. So, we completed the paperwork and a month later, we brought Sam home. I was overjoyed! My husband even offered to bathe him for the first time to build a connection, and I felt so relieved that he was excited about becoming a dad. But just a minute after they entered the bathroom, my husband ran out and shouted, “WE MUST RETURN HIM!”

The wish for a child was so strong that it filled every corner of Mia and Marks hearts, driving them to do whatever it took to make it a reality.

After numerous failed attempts to fall pregnant and plenty of money spent on treatments and IVF, they came to terms with the fact that they wouldn’t be having a child on their own.

Eventually, they decided to adopt. But that was easier said than done.
Since Mark was extremely busy running the business, it was Mia who was left to handle the process, contacting agencies, filling paperwork, and revisiting lists of children in need of a loving home.

As she was going through the documents, a child, around three years old, caught her attention.

Initially, they wanted to adopt an infant, but the chances for that were slim, so they decided to open their hearts and home to a toddler.
