While family and friends are the first people you turn to when you need support or a shoulder to cry on, some couples who struggle to get pregnant and start a family find it difficult to have to share disappointing news with everyone.
Lacey and Banks Farris new they always wanted to be parents, but would soon find out how difficult it could be. After a year and a half of trying, Lacey became pregnant but miscarried at 20 weeks, and was forced to deliver her stillborn infant she named Poppy. The couple later tried two rounds of IUI and adoption, but they all failed, and each time they were left to tell the crushing news to their friends and family.
Lacey and Banks knew they would never give up trying to have a baby, but decided to keep any potential baby news to themselves from that point forward. Without anyone knowing, they signed up with an adoption matching service, and were matched with a birth mother who they became close with over the following months.
When the baby girl was finally born, Lacey and Banks were right beside her birth mother, who felt confident they were the right parents for her baby girl, who they named Finley. “Waiting was the most difficult thing. No one is going to know how you feel unless they have gone through it. All the tears and all the prayers – when you finally get what you were longing for – it is so worth it,” Lacey said. “Waiting through the darkest moments is so hard.”
Finally, Lacey and Banks were able to share the exciting news with their family, and decided to just show up on their friends’ and family’s doorsteps holding their new daughter. “The reveal was incredible. For Finley to grow up and see how happy everyone was to see her – it meant everything. It was so cool to have our family 100% percent behind us.”
