Jane's Surrender(101)

We decided to adopt our first baby four years ago, and we immediately went to foster homes. We weren't looking for a newborn baby. Being from the system myself, I wanted to give another child a chance.

It took us some time, but when a two-year-old girl grabbed my hand and didn't want to let go, I knew I had found my daughter.

Jake’s story was a bit different. He was found in the trash in very poor condition. He needed a heart operation. Funds were collected from all over the country, and that’s how we heard about him. Without much thought, we donated money, and he was healed. For some reason, I couldn't let go, so we flew to Denver to check on the little boy.

It was the same thing as with Amber. Something clicked inside me and we knew we had found our son.

Now we had our little family of four, and I loved every minute of it.

Drake took my hand into his, brought it up to his mouth, and kissed it softly, not taking his eyes away from the road.

“Are you all right?”

My mouth lit up in a big, carefree smile. “Never been better.”

We stopped at a traffic light, and he turned his eyes on me. The deep shades of blue filled with love, adoration, and softness could still make my knees weak.

“I love you.”

“Love you too, baby.”

Dreams do come true.

Since the moment I discovered romance novels, I always wanted a man like him. A knight in shining armor who would always love me, protect me, fight for me, and cherish me.

My man is indeed magnificent, and my story is just like a romance novel.

And they said fairytales didn't exist.

They’ve never met us then.


The End
