They Adopt Triplets That No Family Wants. Hours Later, Doctors DISCOVER Their Shocking Truth
Sarah and Andy Justice were delighted; they always desired a family. Sarah and Andy adopted after years of trying to conceive. The couple finally had babies after a long journey. This tear-jerking real-life adoption story will surprise you. The Justices thought something was lacking; after three years, they wanted a baby. The Justices had trouble conceiving. The couple tried naturally for three years without success. Infertility strained their marriage, but tough times led them to attempt something new. Sarah and Andy sought a fertility specialist. The Justices lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the couple had problems locating a good fertility doctor in their hometown. They discovered a doctor who could help them conceive, but there was a catch: the fertility expert was in St. Louis.
Sarah and Andy were keen to have children despite the distance. Sarah and Andy traveled to Missouri for reproductive therapy in 2014. The pair left Tulsa for a doctor’s appointment, driving six hours to a fertility expert in Missouri. Unfortunately, Sarah and Andy got bad news in Missouri; Sarah couldn’t get pregnant. After the unsuccessful visit, the fertility expert gave the Justices bad news. Sarah and Andy were good candidates for IVF, but their likelihood of becoming pregnant was 10 percent. The couple didn’t realize how invasive IVF was. IVF was expensive and invasive. The Justices weren’t hopeless; they were ready to try Plan C after A and B failed. IVF costs $12,000 to $15,000 for a standard cycle, and insurance rarely covers fertility treatments. The Justices learned that IVF would cost between $30,000 and $60,000 to try to conceive.
The hefty cost and limited success rate of IVF made the Justices think creatively. Next was adoption. Andy and Sarah were desperate to have children. The Justices opted to adopt because they wanted to be parents. Adoption can be equally difficult and distressing as trying to conceive naturally. The Justices had to apply to an adoption agency before bringing a child home. Sarah and Andy completed a home study after the agency accepted their application. The Justices faced impediments at every turn. Adoption isn’t easy, but they just wanted to help a child. Sarah and Andy would do anything to have children, even if it meant adopting. The adoption process might take years, but Sarah and Andy were determined to have a kid. Interviewing follows applying to an adoption agency and a home study. Interviews make most people nervous, but they’re critical to the adoption process. Sarah and Andy interviewed birth moms. These high-pressure interviews determined whether the Justices could adopt. The Justices were weary at the end, but Sarah and Andy’s fight wasn’t over.
The Justices got good news after a long interview procedure: a birth mom gave the Justices her kid. Sarah and Andy were ecstatic; they wanted to hold their baby. The Justices supported the birth mother throughout her pregnancy and couldn’t wait to meet their new child. Then, things went wrong just as they were about to have the baby. Sarah and Andy were ready to adopt until the birth mom changed her mind. The Justices were devastated when the birth mother kept the infant. Despite being crushed, Sarah and Andy decided to try again. The resilient couple wasn’t ready to quit. Sarah and Andy wanted children. Sara and Andy decided to adopt despite pain and disappointment. They told the adoption agency they still wanted to adopt. The Justices went on another interview and identified another birth mother. Again, as things were progressing, the second birth mother decided to keep her baby. Sarah and Andy were understandably discouraged. They prayed for a family. The couple kept trying and persisted whatever occurred. The Justices wouldn’t quit. They didn’t realize wonderful news was coming.
Andy and Sarah got another call after the second birth mom pulled out. Sarah received a life-changing call when the Justices were at their lowest. It was the first positive news in a while. Again, the agency contacted to tell the Justices that a pregnant woman chose Sarah and Andy as parents. Their birth mother seemed like a potential match. The Justices met the birth mom, who invited them to an ultrasound. A scan revealed something strange while Sarah, Andy, and the birth mother were at the doctor. This time, the Justices’ surprise was a positive one. Everything appeared normal, and the babies were healthy. The ultrasound showed three strong heartbeats. Sarah and Andy were astonished to see three hearts beating on the ultrasound monitor. The Justices had trouble having one child, so three seemed impossible. Andy and Sarah wouldn’t renege now; they knew those three babies were theirs. Therefore, they adopted them. Sarah and Andy wanted to be parents. Despite trying for years to have children, the Justices weren’t ready for so many at once. Triple pregnancies are uncommon. Sarah and Andy always make the most of difficult situations. Instead of adopting many times, they got the family they desired in one shot. Sarah and Andy started immediately. They wanted their home to be ready for their new babies. They bought cribs and strollers. They bought baby essentials and baby-proofed their home. They waited a long time to become parents. Sarah and Andy could finally become parents and were ecstatic.
Andy and Sarah’s babies arrived in May 2013. The birth mother’s water broke, causing early labor. Andy and Sarah met the birth mother at the hospital and waited for three hours. The birth mother delivered three three-pound infants after a difficult labor. Hannah, Joel, and Elizabeth were newborn triplets. Sarah and Andy were alarmed when their children were born eight weeks early. Because they were early, the triplets had to stay in the NICU for a while. The newborns grew in the hospital. The triplets grew stronger each day until they could go home with their parents.
Sarah got unwell a week after having triplets. Sarah chose to visit her doctor after the adoption process and birth of triplets stressed out the Justices. The new mother wanted to be healthy for the triplets’ arrival. Sarah was thoroughly examined and tested for diseases. The doctor returned after discovering Sarah’s illness. Sarah wasn’t unwell. The doctor told her in the waiting room that Sarah was pregnant after the doctor did tests. The good news was shocking! Sarah was shocked by her pregnancy. She got pregnant one week after adopting triplets! After years of trying, there was one more big surprise: Sarah was pregnant with more multiples, said the doctor. After years of being childless, the mom of triplets became pregnant with twins naturally. Andy and Sarah’s pregnancy occurred at the worst possible time, but Sarah and Andy aren’t like other people; they see positives in every challenge. The Justices were happy to see the humor in their position. They couldn’t believe they would have five babies under one. Even though the new parents were overwhelmed, they became eager to grow their family. Sarah and Andy overcame adversity. The Justices welcomed the new pregnancy. Their biological twins couldn’t come soon enough.
Sarah went into labor while the Justices were adjusting to life with triplets. The twins were ready to join their new family. Sarah delivered Andrew and Abigail after a long labor. Sarah and Andy were excited to welcome their five babies. Five babies changed everything. Sarah and Andy received community, family, and friend support. Tulsa’s Eastland Baptist Church helped Sarah and Andy as they acclimated to life without much sleep. Church members donated meals to the new family of seven. Community members fed and sent baby formula to the Justices. Some friends babysat while the couple worked. Friends and church members weren’t the only donors; statewide people donated. Strangers sent diapers, bottles, blankets, and clothing. Sarah and Andy needed help with diapers. The new seven-person family used 300 diapers and 84 bottles a week. The growing family of seven had to reorganize many things. Their schedules changed; therefore, they needed a bigger van. They had to tell each baby apart. Sarah and Andy painted the babies’ toenails to tell them apart. Sarah and Andy used nail paint to identify each child and determined feeding and changing times.
The Justices’ story quickly became popular online. The Justices became internet sensations when their story spread. Everyone was curious about the sevensome. Facebook initially gave the Justices much attention and followers. Soon after, people wanted to see the family’s photos and updates. After the tale went viral, the family found another big surprise: Sarah was pregnant again. 2016 marked the Justices’ sixth child. The Justices had six children, but they wouldn’t have it any other way. Sarah and Andy Justice adore being parents and wanted another child. Sarah said on Today, “We’ve always wanted it. We love these kids.” Adding one child in two years is easy if you already have five. The Justices are used to having their hands full, so adding another baby was easy. Sarah and Andy’s sixth kid was their first non-multiple. Six young kids bring distinct problems; eight people in one house might be chaotic. Naming each child can be confusing. Joel, Hannah, and Elizabeth are triplets. Abigail and Andrew arrived a few months later. A sixth baby joined the crew. Despite problems, the family is happy. Look how cute the Fourth of July kids are! Who’s the latest Justice? In 2016, the Justices welcomed Caleb. The twins and triplets were four and three and a half when he was born.
The eight-person family’s house is loud and active. Sarah and Andy’s children are mostly potty trained. Sarah Justice talked to Viral Story about raising six kids under five. Having several children is a dream, she said. Waiting makes you appreciate things more. After trying for years to have children, the mother of six doesn’t mind being so busy. The Justices’ lives have changed since they enlarged their brood. The family is changing its sleeping habits. All five multiples are transferring into toddler beds. According to their mother, having five toddlers is an adventure. She said, “We’re close. Moving five three-to-four-year-olds from cribs to beds is a task.” Sarah and Andy are patient.
You probably wonder how the Justices keep up with so many small children. They keep everything ordered. Large families need organized strategies. The eight-person family walks in the morning. After the walk, toddlers usually enjoy playdates with family. After playdates, families undertake chores together. Potty training a toddler may consume a parent’s life; five times that, the family’s day revolves around restroom breaks. Sarah told Viral Story about bathroom struggles. When you have five children at the same age, bathroom breaks are frequent. The Justices will shortly pass this milestone and go on to other tasks. Amazingly, the Justice kids will never be alone. These youngsters will never be alone at school, for lunch, or playtime. The mother of six said, “We never lack playmates,” and emphasized sibling love and caring. “Our kids will never be alone.”
The Justice family has evolved over time. Sarah and Andy used 84 bottles and 300 diapers a week. Sarah and Andy can now feed Caleb with one bottle. All six children love Caleb, said his parents. Toddlers love playing with and kissing their new baby brother. Sarah and Andy’s family tale is amazing. It began with the couple’s inability to conceive, and now they’re a family of eight. Sarah is glad her siblings get along well. She told Viral Story, “He has the best fan club ever, and we can’t fathom life without him.”
