Two Babies, One Beautiful Journey

Molly and Daniel already had one baby in their home when they received an unexpected call — baby Izzy had a brother. They had just days to consider whether they could welcome another infant into their family.

They said yes.

Their journey to that moment began with a desire to adopt. After researching their options, Molly found DePelchin and attended an informational session with Daniel. They arrived looking for an adoption agency and left knowing they wanted to pursue fostering to adopt.

Their first placement was a 2-day-old baby girl who stayed with them for six weeks before being adopted by her aunt. Saying goodbye was “one of the hardest things we’ve done in our lives,” Molly says.

In May 2023, they welcomed Izzy, an 8-day-old baby boy. About a year later, they got the call about his 9-day-old baby brother, Abe.

“We went from one baby to two babies,” Molly says.

Navigating the boys’ cases brought uncertainty, but DePelchin consistently helped the family keep their focus where it belonged: on the children.

“All of the training that [DePelchin] give[s], and as an educator, this is important to me. All of [the] processes are kid first,” Molly says.

Today, both boys are thriving. Izzy is “loud,” “bold” and kind, while Abe is observant, adventurous and “not afraid of anything.” Molly says the brothers share a very strong bond.

Izzy was adopted in November 2025, and Abe’s adoption was finalized in June 2026.

“It’s not the traditional way to become a parent, but we feel really blessed by it,” Molly says.
