Certain events in life are so rare they can be freely dismissed as impossibilities. Getting struck by lightning, surviving a plane crash, or winning the lottery. When something shocking happens and doesn’t end in tragedy, we say it must be fate, destiny, a miracle, or simply God’s will.

There is a story about becoming a family, accepting gifts of fate, believing in miracles, finding love in unexpected places, and navigating the surprises, challenges, and joys of unplanned parenthood.

A BEST INDIE BOOK OF 2025

“This incredible first-person account documents the mind-blowing surprises, coincidences, and moments of sheer luck that led to the men to adopting the baby and giving him a loving home. It’s a must-read for anyone who’s been told that a home is incomplete without a mother and a father.”
