Picking a Couple
Soon enough, Crotts found herself looking through file after file of parents who wanted to adopt her child. In the end, the teenager felt drawn back to one particular couple time and time again. “In 1999, I picked the couple who would raise my baby girl from a double-sided, lined paper of facts about them, their hobbies, and a handful of pictures.”
In the middle of her grieving process, Crotts enjoyed one moment of happiness: when she let the couple know she picked them, they broke down at how blessed they felt. Just a few months later, the big day arrived when Crotts went into labor one morning.
