"Ever James. For this child, we have prayed. Just to hear our baby cry. Skin-to-skin and face-to-face. Heart to heart and eye to eye. Our baby boy is here, and we are so in love! If you have followed our love story, you know that our journey to baby has been very challenging - But God is true to His word and His promises. We have quietly prayed while sitting on this most magnificent secret for the last nine months. He is worth every tear, every disappointment, every delayed prayer, and every IVF cycle. Everything. All we feel is joy and overwhelming love and gratitude."
Adrienne thanked their friends and family, who stood and supported them for the five years the two were trying to have a baby.
