The walk up to the courthouse was filled with joy and anticipation. “Is this really happening? Are we going to really be the parents of this little boy?” Jax knew something important was happening today because he was all dressed up in his “smooth” suite! Of course, playing and drinking bottles was all he could think about at the time. He seemed excited to wear his cool new hat, for a little while that is, and seemed pretty amazed at how big the world was compared to him as they walked down the street.
Jeremy and Elizabeth began their adoption journey over a year ago. They wanted a baby, and more specifically, a Haitian baby. They started talks with the agency and began their classes. They were told, it would be hard finding what they wanted and good luck finding a Haitian baby. It probably wouldn’t happen. Shortly after they received a call saying there was one being given for adoption by a woman in Haiti who wanted a better life for her child. She doesn’t have the safest situation where she is and knew there had to be a family out there who would love this child. Jeremy and Elizabeth were so excited. They were able to be there for the ultrasound and experience the pregnancy and anticipation of becoming new parents and give comfort to the birth mother. They didn’t know where the money would come from but knew God would provide and he did.
Friends and family arrived at the courthouse with excitement, and a festive attitude filled the air and a little bit of nervousness! They entered the courtroom and exchanged smiles and a warm welcome with the judge. They were sworn in and promised their love, protection and support for baby Jax for the rest of his life. Tears filled their eyes as the papers were gladly signed and Jax legally became their baby boy! Jax was comfortably and safely asleep in his mom’s arms during the entire thing.
If there were one word stronger than love that embodied all the emotion and power contained in the universe I would use it here. Jeremy and Elizabeth have just that,.. The love only God himself could show. This couple shows the very love and face of God. Jeremy and Elizabeth are the best parents for this boy and there’s no doubt. God truly knows what he’s doing and planned this perfectly.
Thank you Jeremy and Elizabeth for letting me be a part of such an amazing time in your lives and for letting me in to this intimate circle. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and Jax!
