Sadie and Jarvis Sampson’s dream of starting a family seemed to be slipping away after years of trying. Despite their efforts, they faced disappointment month after month. But little did they know, their lives were about to take a dramatic turn.
A text from a friend changed everything, asking if they’d consider fostering a baby. Initially hesitant, they soon found themselves on a journey to adoption. The birth mom’s unexpected decision to let them adopt left them overjoyed and in shock.
Their baby boy, Ezra Lee, arrived seven weeks early, weighing just 4 lbs. 5 oz. As they navigated the ups and downs of parenthood, their love and commitment only grew stronger. The adoption was finalized in October 2020, and they celebrated with heartwarming family photos.
But their family’s story didn’t end there. In 2021, they welcomed twin girls, Journee and Destinee, through embryo donation. Their family, once thought impossible, was now a beautiful reality.
Through it all, the Sampsons have learned that family is built on love, not biology. Their motto, “Families don’t have to match,” is a testament to the power of love and acceptance. As they navigate the world with their three children, they stand as a shining example of the beauty of unconventional families.
