Heartwarming Moment When Couple Sees Their Adopted Baby For The First Time
Adoption is both a beautiful and challenging decision. For the Olson family, from Florida, the decision came several months after they had been trying for their third child. The Olson’s second son, Levi, was born with spina bifida, and meanwhile, Sarah Olson wasn’t getting pregnant. Then she had an idea—what about adoption?
“So we took that weekend, and we took the next couple of months to really pray about it,” Mrs. Olson said in a YouTube video. “The more that we prayed, and the more that we sat on it, the more that idea of adoption to complete our family really blossomed in us. And it felt that THAT was the way that God wanted us to finish our family”
Tilly Pearl Olson was a “stork drop,” a situation when a couple takes a baby on a moment’s notice. The Olsons flew out to Tallahassee last Wednesday at 5am and were united with their daughter-to-be that day. While the extended Olson family is no stranger to adoption, David and Sarah say that it was Bob Goff’s book called “Love Does” that finally convinced them.

Very moving, all I could think though is that there is a women in another room nearby crying out of sadness not joy.
Perhaps not. My father was a doctor. He said when he was in med school, he was absolutely against abortion. Then he saw girls die or end up sterile trying to abort unwanted babies, including a fifteen-year-old who died from lead poisoning after being raped on her way home from school & tried to abort the rapist's child with a #2 pencil. He was a nine-year-old give birth to her stepfather's child. And he saw children abused and even killed by parents who didn't want them. He said the last straw was when a woman bashed her newborn infant's brains out against the wall. When the police were taking her away in handcuffs, he asked her why she did it and she replied, "I never wanted that brat anyway." So he became a proponent of women's rights and her right to choose whether or not she wanted children. He still considered adoption to be the best option, and did his best to convince women to make that choice.

All very true. Ying, yang. This couple is very happy, someone else maybe breaking their heart. There is no right answer. Just keep it all open and be accepting that one day that baby might want to meet the birth parents. Love is not finite, just as those of you who have more than one child have enough love for them all, those of us with more than one parent have a similar capacity.
