We met the baby! (Over Zoom)

1–2 minutes

Oh COVID-19 and how strange the world has gotten… This afternoon we had the chance to talk to birth mom and meet the baby over a zoom call. It was equal parts wonderful, weird, and lovely.

Baby girl was born June 5, 2020 at 1:42pm weighing 7 pounds 6 ounces and measuring 20 inches long. The pediatrician came in while we were on the call and said baby was doing great and looks very healthy.

Birth mom is doing great and feeling great. She’s been pumping and been able to feed baby girl breastmilk, Zach and I are very supportive in her desire to feed as much breast milk as possible and we hope to be able to find ways to support this down the road as well.. as much as possible.

We’re not quite ready to share any pictures with our friends and family, but I did want to get this update out there. As a tease, here’s a picture of us talking to birth mom and meeting baby though!

    We are over-the-moon happy for you two and for baby girl. Good luck getting restful sleep tonight, or any night for the foreseeable future, haha.

    We are also super excited as baby girl makes new grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and so on. Congrats all!

    Amanda and Zach, throughout your adoption journey, the two of you have shown an incredible determination and positive spirit, and an inspiring love and selflessness for each other.

    May God bless your family always.
