74: Sarah’s Story

When Sarah was assigned to care for baby Zariah in the NICU, she fell in love with her. When Zariah’s birth parents neglected to visit or be involved, it was clear that Zariah would need a foster home, and eventual adoption. Sarah immediately knew she was meant to be her mother. Convincing her husband Steve was another story. Because of HIPAA laws, he wasn’t allowed to meet Zariah until they were officially her foster parents. Miraculously, he agreed. After several months as a family, Zariah passed away as a result of a tragic trach accident with her home health nurse. In this episode, Sarah shares their journey with Zariah, and all the love they share. Links: Follow Sarah on Instagram @adoptive.foster.medical.mama. Answer this month’s question.
