After Five Years of Waiting, Our Son Was Born With Down Syndrome—Then My MIL Told My Husband He Still Had Time to Leave
Not the future we had constructed before he was born.
Noah.
Exactly as he was.
The little boy we had cried for.
Waited for.
Prayed for.
And finally held in our arms.
We had spent five years asking for a child.
When he finally came to us, life asked a different question:
Could we love the child we were given instead of the future we had imagined?
For Brandon and me, there was only one answer.
We already did.
