Another Surprise!

Believe it or not, less than two years after she had her first daughter, Crotts received a very similar, two-lined surprise! “Three months after I learned I was pregnant again,” she said. This time, Crotts knew, without a shred of doubt, that she would keep the child and raise it herself. However, since it had been less than two years, the young woman could not help but wonder if she could have also raised the little girl.

“It was a whirlwind of changes and emotions. My first son was born in February 2002. I spent the next 18 years navigating a rugged path through grief,” Crotts recently recalled. As much as Crotts loved her husband and child, she always regretted the decision of giving up her first child. Luckily, life had something incredible in store for the grieving mother!
