Couple Was Told Not To Adopt Problem Child And Find Out Why After She Arrives Home

Even though they were warned by the adoption agency that their adopted daughter was a handful and might be difficult to raise, the parents chose to go through with the decision anyway.

Surely enough, when they got home they noticed her true behaviors that made it difficult to talk to her, convince her to do things, and get a smile out of the young girl. But the parents went through with the tough task they had at hand.

The Family

Melissa and Dean Hawthorne knew that their family was the most important thing in their lives. They already had four boys together, who were all grown and had left home by now. But they still had love in their hearts that they wanted to give to another child.

So they started the adoption process looking for a young girl, but they had no idea that the child they chose would prove to be so difficult. Maybe this idea was the wrong one for them after all.

Missing Something

Dean and Melissa married when they were in their mid-twenties, and by the time they reached their forties, they already had a big family, complete with four sons.

But although theirs was a beautiful family, the couple always felt like they were missing something integral. Despite having everything they wished for, they missed one thing.

Their Daughter

For the longest time, Dean and Melissa wanted to have a daughter. After years of trying to conceive a baby girl, Melissa would suggest something that would provide a solution to their issue.

The two had already put all of their sons through high school when Melissa landed on adoption as a way to have a daughter. But she sat on the idea for a while, fearing what her husband would say on the matter.

Empty House

The house was empty after their four boys went off to college when Melissa finally opened up to Dean. His eyes lit up immediately, the way they always did whenever he was on board with something.

Three months later, the couple thoroughly revised all adoption procedures. An agency would invite them to an adoption event that would change their lives forever.
