A Simple Word
When everyone was dealing with the paperwork, Hunter suddenly stood up and uttered something that left everyone speechless. “And they read the adoption decree and that’s when Hunter looked at my husband and he said, ‘Dad!’ and clapped,” Mandi explained, “He just started clapping and everybody just started crying. It was so emotional. It’s definitely rewarding.”
Enough Clarification
Mandi was so glad to see that the boy they loved so much was finally theirs to keep. “It’s nice to look in his eyes now and not have to worry that he’s ever gonna have to leave us again,” she confessed. The word that the baby blurted out was truly evidence to that makes this couple worthy of being Hunter’s parents. If the judge had any doubts, Hunter’s words were enough to clarify all doubts.
A Ray Of Sunshine
The couple finally got what they had always longed for ever since they became husband and wife. They finally added to their family and were overjoyed that Hunter was there to stay. He is more than just a little boy to the pair, he was actually a miracle for them. “We’ve learned that there’s a rainbow at the end of every storm and we’re so thankful we kept the fight,” Mandi admitted
Nothing Like This
The couple finally got the chance to raise a son of their own and this time, they no longer faced the threat of him being taken away from them. “He is our world and our reason to keep fighting these battles. My husband said that there is no medication to help his PTSD quite like having his son take our last name,” Mandi reveals. The three have definitely become closer and make a great family,
Love And Bliss
Mandi also confessed that she felt as though her heavy chest had magically been taken care off, knowing in her heart that Hunter was there to stay. “He’ll always be safe and loved with us. So that in itself is rewarding,” she added, “Our hearts are forever changed because we now know a true and genuine love.” She could not wait to be the best mom for him.
Proud Parents
Mandi continued her speech about being proud and loving parents of Hunter, “We know that he will forever be safe with us and most importantly will always know what love is. We have learned that family isn’t about DNA. It’s about love!” They have spoken up about their story of adoption so that they might be of help to other kids that are in need of a home or family.
