They have their own little language and stay up laughing and chatting for several minutes every night after bedtime.” Stephanie told. I can’t imagine raising her brother without a playmate and the closest sibling being almost 5 years his senior. Every single day she has us all laughing. “I cannot imagine living a life without her smiling face. With just a week left before giving Haley up forever, destiny revealed Haley’s distant relative backed out of the adoption and the Hollifield’s had the green light to permanently adopt their daughter. All hope was lost, and at that moment, Stephanie’s life was a depressing blur as she went through the motions. Over and over the Hollifield’s were told it’s impossible.
The couple fought hard, exhausting all possible resources in search of a loophole to keep their daughter. Would she be cared for and loved? Would she be safe? That was the most upsetting thing, to think of her possibly living a hard life without all the love and opportunity she deserved.” “I couldn’t imagine her going into a home I knew so little about or winding back up back in the system in a few years (which often happens). I was shocked by the news, as we had been assured we would be able to adopt,” Stephanie explained.
JEWELRY FOR MOTHERS WHO HAS LOST TWINS FULL
The family’s dynamic was perfectly complete until the Hollifield’s received a phone call from their social worker straight out of their worst nightmares: A distant relative was fighting for full custody of Haley. Once Stephanie gave birth to her son, Silas, the two littlest members of the Hollifield family were bonded just as if they were actual twins.
We had been assured this case would go straight to adoption, and we were looking forward to it,” Stephanie explained. My husband and I immediately felt bonded to her.
I wonder if those 7 weeks spent in a foster home were filled with cuddles and rocking her to sleep. “I very much remember how upsetting it was to see a baby who was so vulnerable and helpless and to wonder if anyone had ever told her they loved her. Courtesy of Stephanie Hollifield of Momstrosity
