We adopted a boy who had never spoken. A year later, his first words exposed a shocking truth about his parents.

It started with a soft pain in my heart. I never imagined that the journey to motherhood could feel so out of reach. As I was growing up, I thought that becoming a mother would be something that would just happen to me—like walking down a familiar road that others had traveled before me.

As the years went by, the dream of having my own child felt like it was drifting further and further away. Doctors’ offices, test results, and those uncomfortable chats with specialists took the place of the lovely dreams of lullabies and little outfits. I can still recall the day when the last fertility specialist met my gaze and said, “I’m sorry, there’s nothing more we can do.” Those words struck me hard, and as soon as my husband Jacob and I got home, I was overwhelmed with tears.

Even though that memory still hurts, it also signifies the beginning of a journey that brought us to Bobby, the little boy who would transform our lives in ways we never imagined.

After hearing that heartbreaking news, Jacob wrapped his arms around me on the sofa while I cried, his voice calm and reassuring. “Alicia, love isn’t just about biology,” he said. “We can still be parents if we open our hearts to another path.” It took me days, perhaps even weeks, to embrace the idea of adoption. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to love a child who wasn’t biologically mine. Yet, Jacob’s belief in me remained steadfast. “You have an abundance of love to share,” he urged. “A child in need of love won’t worry about its source—what matters is that it’s real.”
