Tia and Jason had a rocky relationship. They lived in Virginia, but Jason was ready to move back near his family in Minnesota. Neither of them had stable jobs, and were struggling to make ends meet. Tia found out she was pregnant. This was so unexpected and came at such a challenging time in her life. Tia had just decided to go back to college and continue with her education and now she was very unsure if she would be able to. Tia and Jason had no idea what to do. They considered abortion, but neither of them felt that was the right decision for them, so they decided to look into adoption.
Tia and Jason started by calling Act of Love Adoption Agency in Utah. Someone anwered their call right away, late at night. The adoption process was explained to them, and the paperwork was sent out. Tia and Jason were so grateful that caseworkers from Act of Love followed up with phone calls to help them with the paperwork. As soon as the paperwork was complete, Tia and Jason were ready to look at profiles.
They immediately loved an adoptive family that had a little boy. They could see through the pictures that the adoptive family had provided how happy their little boy was and they were able to read about this adoptive family. They felt this would be the right home for their baby boy. They made the phone call to tell the adoptive family they were selected. The family and their son were so excited and starting making preparations for another baby boy.
Tia went into labor and delievered a healthy baby boy. The family traveled from Washington D.C. right away to be with the baby and to support Tia and Jason. The Act of Love staff was able to support the adoptive family and Tia and Jason as they spent time together at the hospital, took pictures, and created some wonderful memories. Tia and Jason placed their baby in the loving adoptive families arms.
Tia and Jason tried to work on their relationship, but things were not working out. They were so grateful they made the decision to place their son in a home with a mother and a father to raise him. They went their seperate ways, but each continue to receive and send pictures and letters to the adoptive family through Act of Love Adoptions.
