At 4:30 a.m., my world changed forever. In my baby’s first cry, I found a strength I never knew I had  .

My wife and I were raised without a birthday wish, without a hug waiting at home — just silence.
But today, holding our child, I felt something bloom inside us.

We finally have what we prayed for — a family.
If you’re reading this, your kindness, your “congratulations,” means more than you know  .

May God bless this new beginning  .
