“Don’t do it,” my mom warned. “It will be too hard.”
But the moment I held Rowan in my arms, I felt only one thing: certainty 💛.
So I adopted him 🫶 — a little boy who would change my world forever.

🎅 As a toddler, I was his Santa, bringing magic and joy to his days.
Now, the roles have beautifully reversed 💫: he brings me water 💧, reminds me to take my medicine 💊, and proudly says, “Dad, now I’m Santa for you.” 🤍

What everyone called “too hard” was never difficult at all.
Loving Rowan has always been natural, effortless, and full of wonder ✨.
Every day with him is a reminder that family is built by the heart, not by circumstance 💛💖.
