Summary

ADOPTION SERIES PART ONE Sara and Sam Ward were only just starting on their journey of adoption when they hit a wall that no one wants to experience. They went to the hospital for what they thought was a minor medical issue and left with a cancer diagnosis. Not only did this upend their entire lives, but they had to watch their dream of adoption seemingly die. Little did they know that this wasn’t the worst trial that they’d face on their journey. Years later, after finally adopting a little boy, the couple found themselves back in the hospital. They received another diagnosis no one wants to hear — their son had a terminal disease. To kick off our adoption series, Sara and Sam sit down with Davey to share their story of triumph, loss, and redemption, and a few things they’ve learned along the way.
