Redefining Family
Austin is still our son. Nothing—no test, no paperwork—can erase the love we’ve poured into him since the day he first opened his eyes. Biology explains origins, but it doesn’t define connection.
Now, we have something even greater: an extended family. Austin has Andrew. Andrew has Austin. And we all share the determination to give both boys a future filled with love, trust, and truth.
What We Learned
This journey taught us something powerful: family isn’t written only in DNA. It’s written in bedtime stories, scraped knees bandaged, birthdays celebrated, and tears wiped away.
Yes, the truth was painful. But it gave us clarity. It gave us two sons, in two homes, bound by one story.
And today, when I look at Austin, I don’t see a mix-up or a mistake. I see my child. My gift. My son.
