“Over the next 16 months, we went through the crazy roller coaster ride of fostering,” Mandi explained, “Our prayers were finally being answered! Our adoption worker worked so hard to get paperwork finalized so that Christmas of 2017 would be our best yet.” Indeed it was a whirlwind of emotions for the couple who had for so long wanted to have a child of their own, biological or not…

Many Anticipations

After many months passed, it was finally time to call on the verdict. The court date for the official adoption had been set up for December 18, 2017. This would be the day Mandi and Tyler would get to finalize Hunter’s adoption. Since they did not know how the court was going to rule their case, the two were both filled with anxiety. The could hardly contain or control their anticipation.

Getting Attached

As for Mandi and Tyler, this was not just them merely trying to become parents in the traditional sense. They had a whole other reason as to why they wanted this adoption to be official. It was actually because of the little boy who was just 17 months old at the time. They had become so attached and loved him so much that they were willing to go through all of this trouble to get him.

Their Medicine

“He was our ‘medicine’ and both of our reasons to fight the health battles that we have been given,” Mandi explained, informing interviewers about how the boy was what they had prayed for so long. She continued with this sentence saying, “He truly became our ‘why’ in life.” You can already guess that the courtroom that day was going to be emotionally fueled all around.

Officially Adopting

So on the big day, the family wore their best clothes and went straight to the courthouse to make the adoption official. Although the couple had already accepted Hunter as their own blood family, there was something about having the paperwork and legal documents signed that gave them a feeling of contentment. It was something they had been looking forward to all this while.

The Words

“It was very emotional, in a good way. We had all of our family and friends there,” Mandi informed, describing to interviewers about their experience that day in court. “At the end of the court process, the judge announced Hunter’s new legal name,” she went on. And during all this hustle and bustle, Hunter took it upon himself to utter a few words of his own.
