They had spent years undergoing fertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), only to repeatedly fail to become pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We tried for several years, and were eventually referred to a fertility clinic where they did everything known to man to try to help us have children \u2014 and after lots of medicines, lots of procedures, and IVF, they told us we would never be able to have biological children,&#8221; said Hope. Through IVF, they created seven embryos, but within a week \u2014 and before they could be implanted \u2014\u00a0<em>all<\/em> of the embryos died.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They told us it would be medically impossible [to get pregnant,]&#8221; she said, adding, \u201cI always wanted to be a mom and to hear that you can\u2019t be a mom was devastating, truly devastating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OsD2n2Sct38?si=6GMK6kA6GS6TCOxS\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Though they had never planned on adopting, Josh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OsD2n2Sct38\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> that&#8217;s where they felt God lead them, and their community helped them raise money to afford it. Once they were approved, it was only a month before a birth mother chose them to be the parents of her son, whom they named Hatcher, born in 2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">They applied to adopt a second child, but had to wait about two years before they received a call about a baby girl in the neonatal intensive care unit who needed a family. They drove three hours the next day to pick up baby Emalyn Faith, born in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the biggest surprise of all: Hope learned <em>she was pregnant<\/em>. &#8220;We ended up taking a pregnancy test and it ended up being positive, which was a shock,&#8221; she said. But Josh had always suspected that one day they would see a positive line on a pregnancy test.<\/p>\n<p>On March 25, 2025, they welcomed baby girl Evie Joy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I kept telling Hope (after we adopted Hatcher), &#8216;I really think that God&#8217;s going to show up His irony and show us some of His humor,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;Parenthood&#8217;s been great. It is, regardless of what anyone tells you, it can be extremely challenging at times. But overall, I just have to remind myself of the big picture, you know, and of what God has done for us and that He&#8217;s blessed us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/G3Bhv6M\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-325597\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-700x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-700x251.png 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-300x107.png 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-768x275.png 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-500x179.png 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1.png 1167w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hope Carter had &#8220;always wanted to be a mom,&#8221; so when she and her husband Josh were told they would never have biological children, she was heartbroken.
