Adopting a Surprise: When Two Became Seven

Sara and Andy had been trying to start a family for many years, but without success. Unfortunately, they realized that having a child naturally was not possible for them. Yet, they refused to give up on their dream of becoming parents.

The couple reached out to an adoption agency and met a woman who was planning to give her baby up for adoption soon. Then came the surprise. The woman was not just pregnant with one baby, but with triplets. Excitement was at its peak, and the couple eagerly awaited the upcoming birth.

Shortly thereafter, Joel, Hannah, and Elizabeth were born, and Sara and Andy's dream of parenthood came true. But the story didn't end there.

A week after adopting the three girls, Sara felt something was off and scheduled an appointment with their family doctor. During a routine check-up, the doctor announced that Sara was... pregnant, with twins! Sara was filled with joy, but also a fair amount of anxiety. "We have great luck. Were we a bit stressed? Absolutely. But we are happy. We truly felt that it was Hashem's plan for us, and sometimes, when you follow Hashem's commands, one thing leads to another," Sara said.

In a short period, their family expanded from two to seven - including the twins, Abigail and Andrew. According to reports from the parents, they prepare 84 bottles and go through an average of 300 diapers a week.
