"My husband and I were together long before he had our kids. Our joke is, I let him have two kids for me and then I came back. Adam and I got back together when Arrah was 3 years old and Aiden was 2. We all went through many, many tough years going back and forward with our kids' biological mother and as they got older, they realised they couldn't ever be more important than her drugs, alcohol, and abusive relationships. They wanted out of the toxic world they were in, so they chose to end their biological maternal relationship with her.
Over time, I went from Jacky the stepmom to Queen . . . and then one day I was Mom. That day was absolutely one of the best days of my life. Then, they said they had realised I was the only mother they ever had and wanted and on Mother's Day/my birthday in 2016, they asked me to officially adopt them. Never had I ever expected that, but I said, 'Hell yeah!'
"They had my whole entire heart since day one, so it was simple to accept their offer. It took some time, lots of frustrations and patience legally, but after it was all said and done, on June 27, 2018, we had the best day of our lives. Gotcha Day was the best day ever and my husband said that this was exactly what he had always wanted for the kids he made and gave to me to share with him. I am the luckiest momma ever!"
