Stephanie Hollifield and her husband were the happy parents of three children \u2014 two biological and one adopted through foster care \u2014 when they opted to adopt again through foster care. But in the middle of the process, they discovered they were pregnant, which they assumed meant the end of the adoption process for them.<\/p>\n

“I was 6 months pregnant when I received a phone call asking if we could foster a newborn baby girl,” Hollifield told Love What Matters<\/a>. She realized that it would be “insane” to continue to pursue adoption while pregnant and the social worker told her that they don’t usually place a newborn with a family that is expecting anyway.<\/p>\n

Sometimes people ask me what it's like having two infants. It's basically always like having a couple of angels chilling calmly in a white wicker basket while wearing beautiful clean fine linen clothes. Or, you know, the exact opposite of all those things.<\/a><\/p>\n
