Sadie and Jarvis Sampson tried everything for years to get pregnant, and eventually they accepted that they would only ever be aunt and uncle. Then, one day, they received a text that completely turned their world upside down.<\/p>\n
Since getting married in January 2018, the pair has been trying to get pregnant, so when that didn\u2019t work out naturally, they tried everything else.<\/p>\n
The Houston mother told Love What Matters, \u201cOvulation tests, prenatal vitamins, cycle tracking apps, fertility monitors.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t even try our luck at following the unsolicited counsel of strangers, friends, and family. We tried, prayed, and waited for fourteen months. Month after Month. pregnancy test negative following negative test. It appeared like we would require help getting pregnant. We even went so far as to discuss it with medical professionals.<\/p>\n

\nThe couple seemed to get little assistance from the doctors. Sadie was advised by everyone that she would get pregnant if she reduced weight. Since she had no other options, she underwent gastric surgery and shed 28 pounds.<\/p>\n
Sadie\u2019s OB\/GYN expressed her happiness with her weight loss and expressed her pride in her.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe informed me that since she was unable to give me the fertility medication, she would refer me to a fertility specialist if I wasn\u2019t pregnant within six months,\u201d Sadie recalled. I was ecstatic to hear that. We finally received a response other than \u201cno\u201d! We were ecstatic to hear \u201cnot right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, though, the couple felt as though they had begun over after Sadie lost the weight and they were unable to conceive.<\/p>\n

Published on Friday, August 30, 2019 by Sadie Sampson<\/p>\n
Sadie said, \u201cI had always felt like I was meant to be a mother.\u201d \u201cI was still not pregnant even though my surgeon had spent a long time to warn me about how fertile I would be following surgery. Thus, we gave up. We came to the realization that our only destiny was to be our nieces\u2019 aunts and uncles and our goddaughters\u2019 godparents.<\/p>\n
The couple had just come to the painful conclusion that they would not be able to conceive when Sadie\u2019s friend texted her to ask if they would be willing to foster a child that a couple she knew was thinking about for themselves.<\/p>\n
At first, the couple was apprehensive since they had been instructed by a caseworker to look after the child while the mother sought therapy. The couple was concerned that they would grow overly devoted to the child. But soon after, the narrative was altered.<\/p>\n
The caseworker stated, \u201cThe birth mother decided she would prefer you guys adopt the child instead.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHoly crap!!\u201d was the first thing Sadie uttered out loud when she learned she was expecting a child.<\/p>\n
\u201cOvernight, we went from not having any kids to possibly fostering one to, \u2018You guys are parents!’\u201d Still in shock, I listened to the caseworker as she spoke. After hanging up, I dialed my spouse! \u201cBaby!\u201d They desire that we adopt the child! They want us to have kids,\u201d I cried out. Hold on! Really? He exclaimed, \u201cI assumed they just wanted us to foster him.\u201d \u201cNope!\u201d \u201cThey want us to be his parents,\u201d I remarked.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend, the couple not only processed the surprising news but also braced themselves in case the mother had second thoughts.<\/p>\n
On Monday, the mother not only expressed her desire for them to adopt the child, but also stated that she was prepared to sign the adoption papers independently.<\/p>\n

\nAt 33 weeks, their son had been born\u2014seven weeks ahead of schedule. His weight was 4 lbs. 5 oz. Sadie writes, \u201cHe fit in one of my husband\u2019s hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sadie said, \u201cHe was so small, swaddled in a white blanket with stripes of pink and blue.\u201d He was early, therefore he couldn\u2019t eat on his own, thus an NG tube was coming out of his nose. But my goodness, was he adorable!<\/p>\n
The couple was urged to create a registry after they announced their announcement on social media. In just three days, 55 of the 72 goods they had advertised had been purchased.<\/p>\n
Following the adoption of Ezra Lee, which was completed in October 2020, the couple had the cutest family portraits shot, sporting t-shirts that said, \u201cFamilies don\u2019t have to match.\u201d<\/p>\n
Through embryo donation, Sadie and Jarvis became parents to twin twins, Destinee and Journey, in 2021. The black couple, adhering to their family credo, \u201cFamilies don\u2019t have to match,\u201d gave birth to three white children: two girls and one boy.<\/p>\n
There is just one reaction for anyone who judges this lovely family: love is the strongest foundation there is.<\/p>\n
