The day my husband asked to adopt my daughter.

It was so surreal..

Picture a life shattered by a breach of trust, leaving a jagged maze of self-doubt and #TrustIssues that seem insurmountable. Now, picture someone willingly stepping into that labyrinth, challenging every preconceived notion of loyalty you've held, all to prove you wrong, all to show that genuine trust exists.

Consider an emotion, a kind of #Love so potent, so intense, it threatens to drown you. It's the wild, #CrazyLove that usually stirs insecurity in the calmest of hearts. But instead, this time, it arrives in the form of a soothing tide, bearing the weight of #Calm, #Peaceful, #Respectful, and #Attractive undertones. It offers an equilibrium, a balance that teeter-totters perfectly on the brink of profound and surreal. Now imagine, the love you've been pouring out into the universe, returning to you like a boomerang, amplified, magnified, and reflected back at you, not once or twice, but tenfold.

For years, you've carried a guilt in your heart, a remorse sharper than any blade, for bringing a child into a world where she would be #Fatherless. What if I told you that the universe had a bigger plan, and that her #RealDad would enter her life, not from the start, but years later, exactly when she needed him?

Three years ago, had you hinted at the life I’m living now, I would've laughed at the audacity. I would've dubbed it as pure #Bullshit. I would've fiercely defended my life in #Cali, my #Family, my #Career, my cozy home, and especially my thriving #CannabisBusiness. My existence was entwined with #MyLifestyle of a #SingleMom, so rooted that any suggestion of an upheaval, of a #Relocation, would've seemed preposterous. Yet, the compelling force that made me rethink my choices was something extraordinary, something akin to divine intervention - it was #HeavenSent. And yes, I altered my life trajectory for love. But this love was different. It was a recognition deep in my #Soul, a whisper in #MySpirit that resonated through every fiber of my being. That was #Transcendent. #DeepShit.

You can't fathom the immense leap of #Faith it took to pen my resignation, to willingly leap into an abyss of uncertainty. It felt like a test, like the universe had thrown down a gauntlet that I was determined to pick up. So here we are, captured in a moment as I click away, immortalizing the faces of the most important people in my life, on our way to #FamilyCourt to officially amalgamate our lives through #Adoption.
