We adopted a 3-year-old boy—after my husband went to bathe him for the first time, he yelled, "We must return him!"
Being married for ten years and facing infertility, adoption became our solution. My husband’s job kept him occupied, so I handled contacting agencies, preparing documents, and reviewing potential children.
Our preference was an infant, but many others were ahead of us. Then I saw a photo of a blue-eyed 3-year-old who’d been abandoned. I couldn’t get his eyes out of my mind.
My husband liked Sam from the picture, too. We discussed it seriously and made our decision.
Within a month of approval, Sam was with us. My happiness was immense. Eager to connect, my husband volunteered to give him his first bath. This gesture made me feel supported.
Yet only moments into the process, he rushed out shouting, "WE MUST RETURN HIM!"⬇️
