“My sister’s wish was for her daughter to grow up with a family’s love,” Savannah explained. “I thought Mr. and Mrs. Matthews might be able to give her that.”
Moved by Savannah’s plight, Lucy quietly returned to her room, her thoughts racing. A short time later, Dr. Carter returned with Lucy’s son, apologizing profusely. But that night, the thought of the baby girl stayed with Lucy.
The next morning, Lucy shared her feelings with Ross. “I dreamed that little girl was with us,” she said. “Maybe it’s meant to be.”
At first, Ross hesitated, reminding her, “We have two children now. This would be a big step.”
“But I can’t ignore this feeling,” Lucy replied. “Let’s just visit her.”
Seeing his wife’s resolve, Ross agreed. When he held the baby girl with her distinctive green-tinged brown eyes, he felt his own heart soften.
“I’m so grateful you’d consider adopting her,” Dr. Carter said as she prepared the paperwork.
It took time, but eventually, Lucy and Ross brought the little girl home, naming her Amelia. Savannah was overjoyed by the adoption and became a regular visitor, forming a special bond with the Matthews family and their children—twins Sia and Mark, and now little Amelia.
Lesson from the Story: True family is built on love and care, not just by blood. Lucy and Ross’s decision to adopt Amelia shows the beauty of opening one’s heart to unexpected blessings.
