The dream for a child was so powerful that it filled every corner of Ella and Eric hearts, driving them to do whatever it took to make it a reality.
After many failed attempts to fall pregnant and plenty of money spent on treatments and IVF, they realized the fact that they wouldn’t be having a child on their own.
Therefore, they decided to adopt. But that was easier said than done.
Because Eric was highly busy managing the business, it was Ella who was left to control the process, contacting agencies, filling paperwork, and checking lists of children in need of a loving home.
As she was going through the documents, a child, around three years old, paid her attention.
Firstly, they wanted to adopt an infant, but the opportunities for that were slim, so they decided to open their hearts and home to a toddler.
The child Ella adopted had the most beautiful eyes she’d even seen – the color of the sky. Somehow, looking at the photo of that sweet baby, she felt like she’d known him since forever.
Eventually, after discussing with Eric, they brought Sam home.
He was the cutest boy there was. What’s most, he settled in nicely and even began calling Ella mom during the first weeks of living with her and Mark.
