When it rains, it pours. That’s how Tulsa, Oklahoma, couple Andy and Sarah Justice feel about the last year. This couple has gone from struggling to conceive to the proud parents of FIVE bouncing bundles of joy.
The Justices spent years trying to grow their family. It seemed like pregnancy wasn’t part of the plan for them. They visited a fertility specialist, but couldn’t believe how much it would cost. IVF treatment was going to rack up a bill of more than $50,000 — and it wouldn’t even guarantee them a baby.
With heavy hearts, the Justices moved to the next step in their plan. If they couldn’t conceive, it didn’t matter. They would still be parents. The family of two went through the adoption process and officially matched with a birthmother.
They didn’t realize they weren’t done growing yet! When Sarah and Andy went to the doctor with the woman whose babies they’d adopt, they got a big surprise. The woman wasn’t pregnant with one baby, or twins, but triplets!
Some adoptive parents would have backed out of the deal. Raising three infants is too big of a task for some. The Justices weren’t willing to do that. They hugged the birthmother and promised to take care of all her babies.
Everything seemed to be going well. Sarah and Andy named their three new babies: Joey, Hannah and Elizabeth. The babies had to spend a few days in the NICU, but they were healthy. That’s when the Justices got the phone call that changed everything.
In a shocking twist, now Sarah was pregnant. This new mom-of-three was about to be a mom again! Sarah and Andy were thrilled and headed to the doctor to get Sarah checked out. Then they got yet another surprise.
Sarah was pregnant with twins. It’s almost unbelievable, but these sonograms show the truth of the Justice’s story. Now, Sarah and Andy are raising all five babies with help from their community. The Eastland Baptist Church community has donated food, babysitting services and diapers. The Justices need this help, since they go through 300 diapers every single week. That’s at least 40 diaper changes a day, but Sarah and Andy aren’t complaining.
