You guys… where do I even start?! WE ARE PARENTS!!!! I’m crying as I type this because it still doesn’t feel real that we are sharing this with you all. We’ve been keeping this little man a secret for a while now & what a beautiful little secret he is. Our baby boy was born February 6th & weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces. We became parents that day thank you to one of the most amazing, strong, smart, & selfless women we have ever met who gave birth to the most beautiful little boy & made us mom & dad. We can never thank her enough, but we will try every single day by the way we love this little man. I never ever ever ever knew that adoption could be this beautiful & that there would be so much love involved all around.
I can’t believe that this time last year I found myself in the doctors office asking for help with my anxiety and depression. I can’t believe that several months ago I miscarried our 9th baby. I can’t believe that a few months ago God pushed us to start our adoption process I can’t believe that a few months ago we announced that we wanted to start this adoption process. I can’t believe the week that we decided to start our adoption journey was our 11th anniversary weekend where we met a man from South Africa named Copeland & we knew right then if we ever had a son we would name him that. Here we are a few months later with our little Copeland Beau Galvan who has given us a whole new purpose in life & has truly been the best gift we could have ever dreamed of. Cope is what dreams are made of. It was always him & when I look at him I regret ever worrying that God would grow our family. God is so good… every single day He is good.
I never ever ever knew love like this before… love for our son, love for his birth mom & birth dad, love for their family, falling more in love with my husband, & knowing a love for the Lord that I’ve never known because of how he has blessed us beyond our wildest dreams. Thanks be to God for pulling her heart towards adoption because she is more than capable to care for our son, but she chose us to parent him & I hope that our story can open others eyes to see how beautiful adoption can really be. I would have never dared to dream for something this perfect. So many of you have been asking if we are ok these past few weeks, now you know… we are ok & life is so good. We have been in our own little haven loving on our son & soaking in every single moment with him. Thank you to all who have ever prayed for us to be able to grow our family… you guys, HE’S HERE!!! Thank you for your continued prayers for all involved in our adoption & we can’t wait to share more of this perfect little babe with you all.
Oh my gosh I cannot express how happy I am that our prayers have been answered and you two loving people are able to love a child like you’ve always dreamed of. I love this and love you all! Forever praying for you!
Cutest pics ever! I love this for you! Congrats! You deserve all this love. Enjoy every second And be sure to take lots of pictures of their little hands and feet and chubby arms and legs… They go away so quickly and you’ll be so glad you took pictures! Enjoy!
I’m not crying… you’re crying! ?? Soooo happy for your family!
What a blessing, what a blessing! So incredibly happy for you both. May you and Jose continue to be guided in this amazing new chapter in your lives! What a beautiful family 🙂

“Not flesh of my flesh, not bone of my bone, but still miraculously my own. Never forget for a single minute, you did not grow under my heart, but in it.”
I was adopted from Guatemala. This hung in my nursery. Congrats
What a blessing and answered prayer! Congratulations on becoming a mom…family! Life will be forever changed. Hugs.
You guys look so natural and just made for this role. What’s amazing is little Copeland has dark hair and looks like he was always meant to be your son. How beautiful
Liz and Jose I am so happy for you both. God has blessed you with this beautiful boy. Copeland is the luckiest little guy to have you as a family. I have tears of joy. Thank you for sharing the news and pictures. Copeland is beautiful ?.
I am beside myself with excitement for you both, and this new little blessing. God knew before the foundation of the world that this little boy will be yours. I’m excited for all the firsts and memories you will share with Copeland (love that name). Gah! I don’t even know what else to say…I’m like rambling. Congratulations!!!!!❤️
Congratulations on your little arrival. I am so happy for you guys. You will be awesome parents!!

Tears of joy are flowing for you and your sweet little family! God’s timing is always perfect no matter the heartache and pain we go through on the way, it is all sooo worth it in the end. My husband and I we’re blessed with our little boy in October after doctors said to just “quit trying” and “don’t count on it” because of several life changing health issues, but we kept praying and asking God to guide our decisions. I am so sincerely happy for you and Jose. Following your blog has made me feel like family because your are so candid with your audience. You are going to be the best parents! Love and prayers to you all.
I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am for you!! I cried and prayed for you with every angel baby that went to heaven. I’m crying and praying for your sweet little family again tonight. Joyful tears and thankful prayers! Copeland is absolutely perfect and you and Jose are beautiful parents! Congratulations!!!❤️❤️❤️
Praise God! Celebrating with you and thanking the Lord for His abundant gift to you.
So happy for your family! He’s beautiful! Congrats ❤️
Oh my goodness, best news ever!!! I thought your announcement was going to be that you got your own tv show, this is so much better!! I’m SO happy for you guys!! He is perfect, enjoy every minute!???
Praise the Lord for answered prayers!! He is so very handsome!! Thank you for sharing your story and the beautiful pictures showing your sweet family overflowing with love and happiness!!

I am overjoyed for you and Jose! Congratulations on the arrival of your precious baby boy!
Beautiful
He is absolutely beautiful! You and Jose look so happy. I am in tears. Made my day to see this amazing news.
I was sitting at my sons baseball practice, scrolling through IG and came across your announcement. I literally had to walk to my car because I was tearing up and didn’t want anyone to think I was crazy!! I am so excited for you and Jose. Copeland Beau is absolutely precious. I will be praying for y’all and everyone else involved with him ❤️❤️
Beautiful Baby! WOW! So amazing how GOD is in the details!!! So happy for both of you and your families!
Jesus, thank you for this little precious bundle of blessings, thank you for answering the deepest longing of their heart. Thank you for the unselfish love of his birth parents. Thank you Lord for your bountiful, long waited answer to prayer in your perfect timing. Oh Lord, your ways are so far above what we can even begin to fathom, you see and know it all. Bless your name dear Lord! Thank you for this precious gift! Amen
Love to you, your husband and your baby son!
Congratulations to you both and welcome little Copeland to your family. How awesome is God, His timing is perfect and praise God you listened to His prompting to begin this adoption journey. May God continue to bless you all as you raise this precious babe in The Lord and may He richly bless his birth parents.
So happy for you! Enjoy baby boy Copeland. May God bless your new family.
I love Copeland it’s so unique and cute!! Congrats a million times so happy for you guys ?
I already said congratulations on IG but congratulations AGAIN!! He’s absolutely precious and I’m so thankful for your family to have this happy ending!
(Love his name!?)
Im SO SO HAPPY for and Jose that your prayers have been answered! What you wrote about the biological parents is so beautiful and says so much about about who you are. May you be a continual blessing of love and happiness to Copeland. FYI My husband and I were discussing if Copeland is a traditional South African name because we’re both from there.
Totally started balling… This little man is soo blessed. I know how exactly how blessed he is, and at 43 not a day goes by that I’m not grateful to my birth mother for choosing to give me a life she couldn’t. It’s surreal at times. I am rejoicing with you and will be lifting the 3 of you up to our Father who makes all things possible. Love and hugs, Martha @simplecozycharm
Yes the tears came as soon as I saw your family together at last. Adoption is the most incredible love story for everyone involved. Twice we experienced it, and me who is so NOT a cryer can recall such intence love & bring on the tears YEARS later. People would say the baby’s lucky, oh no! We are the blessed ones, so thankful, so honored!!
How wonderful! May God guide you and Jose as you guide Copeland to grow into the man God intends for him to be.♥️??
Congratulations Liz and Jose! I remember praying for you and another YouTube family to have kids.for so long. I’m so happy both of you were blessed with children. This was all a part of God’s plan we just didn’t know it yet. You’re going to be such great parents.
My heart is filled with such joy hearing your news. Your new precious baby boy is so blessed to be able to call you his mommy and daddy. What a beautiful end to a very long journey. Wishing you so much happiness!!!
Omg…Liz & Jose, Congratulations on your new & oh so precious bundle of joy ! He is perfect !!! What a blessing he is !!! My heart is sooo happy & excited for you both, I just want to squeeze you all !!! God is so GOOD !!! Lots of love & hugs to you all ???

I had a feeling when you weren’t on here for a week or so that something like this was up! As I read your story and see the photos, I’m trying to hold back the tears. My twin and I were adopted together when we were babies. I’m so happy for you both and Cope will grow up with one of the best set of parents anyone could ever have. God is so good and He has blessed you with this precious little baby boy! It’s amazing the love that you experience for a little baby, a love like you’ve never known before. I pray that God’s protection and blessings pour about upon you all.

There’s nothing I can say that others haven’t said. I’ve been praying for you guys for years now. I thought of you often as we struggled with secondary infertility and now struggling to get pregnant with a third. Every time I felt broken and in pain, I thought of you and prayed for your family and mine. I’m so unbelievably thrilled to see the fulfillment of God’s promise to you guys!! I couldn’t sleep last night I just felt so happy and excited for your family! I LOVE seeing your baby in your arms! Finally, he’s here!!!! <3 <3 <3

Two of my eight grandchildren came to us thru adoption. It doesn’t matter how love comes to you, just so it does. I KNOW that God’s hand is in every adoption. Cope was meant to be yours. Congrats on becoming parents!! Enjoy the journey!
A great big congratulations to your new family. Copeland is a beautiful baby and I can’t even image how you all must be feeling. Savor each and every moment.
Like many others, I cried through the beautiful pictures and the story of how God has answered prayers, giving you the desire of your hearts. What a precious, little one! What an awesome community of prayer warriors you have!
What a beautiful baby boy and joy filled mom and dad – so happy for you Liz and Jose! Happy life ahead Copeland Beau Galvan!
What’s amazing is how most people wait a long time… even years for the process. Yet y’all got a baby in a few months? Interesting.
My heart is full for you and Jose! God is so good and He loves us without measure! So very happy for your little family, welcome to the adventure!?❤
Copeland is precious! So happy for you both.❤️ God is good, always. Though there are times in life that reduce us to tears, there are the moments that we know God is weaving his tapestry with love and purpose. And those baby toes are perfect!! Much love from California.?

I read your blog every single day and have prayed for you and Jose so much. I am so happy for you that you finally have the baby you have dreamed of. He is beautiful and I know you are going to be wonderful parents who will cherish him. I also know how difficult it must have been for the birth parents to make the adoption decision and god bless them for doing it. Congratulations!
I’m so happy for you!!! All the feels. I LOVE that you have the You Belong Here book, it has incredible artwork and the words are perfect! I read it to my baby wherever we are home (she’s 4 months old and been in the hospital 3 1/2 months out of the 4) it’s such a loving book! Again so thrilled for you! ❤️
Omg,what a surprise! And you’ve been decorating the nursery all this time. Congratulations on this beautiful little boy.

Congratulations to both you and your husband. I am so happy for you and your beautiful little Copeland. I’ve followed your blogs and know what heartache you have been through with your miscarriages. I pray that this baby will make you and your husband so happy. Life together as parents will be a new chapter in your life. It will be wonderful and so much fun watching little Copeland or “Cope” grow as he is loved and cherished by his amazing new parents.
“Cope” is a very lucky little boy. Adoption is wonderful and it fills your heart with so much love. God Bless all three of you and enjoy your new life. God does give us miracles and I am a firm believer in them.
Have an amazing life!
I don’t know you, but I celebrate with you. I love your words, your story, and your vulnerability about the journey you have been on for awhile now. I am so excited for you!
I can’t even. How is possible that little Cope LOOKS. LIKE. BOTH. OF. YOU.
I’m in awe. I’m so happy for you guys.
I pray that everyone who wants to love a baby forever should be blessed this way.
SO happy for you. There is nothing like being a parent. God bless all three of you
Liz, I do not know you, but feel I do while following your blog. I am extremely happy that you and Jose finally have your son. I was in tears when I saw the news. I must tell you, that Copeland looks like a little Jose.
God Bless you and Your Family,
Vickey Walker
so happy for you both. He is just adorable and I just love his name. Congratulations!!
Liz, I am so happy for you and your beautiful little family. I have been a blog reader for a long time and have felt for years that God might be leading you to adopt and silently hoped that that would become reality. Praise be to God that He loves us and provides for us according to His perfect plan and in His perfect time. God bless you three and I wish you all the joy and blessings that you have been so faithfully waiting for.
Congratulations!!!!! I am so very happy for the three of you, you guys are so very blessed!
So so happy for you guys! I’ve been following your infertility journey for yours and I’m SO happy God provided this sweet boy to you and gave him such a great home!
Tears! You are a beautiful family! He is so precious. Praise God for beautiful gifts.
Hugs (and sniff that soft baby head and kiss those little baby feet a few times for me!)
Awwww, so so so so happy for you guys! God is good…all the time. All the time…God is good. Copeland is just the cutest, most adorable little baby. What a blessing for you and your family to receive from the birth parents. I’ve been praying for them and you both since you first began talking about adoption. Can’t imagine how your heart feels to have this little man in your life! Eeeeee. ? Congratulations on the new baby in God’s perfect timing.
God is good. Hold tight to your beautiful blessing. May you always smile this big and be this most happy. Have a wonderful time making the amazing memories and always know, God hears all. You are complete, we are all so very happy for you and Jose.

Cannot express how happy I am for you and your hubby! What a precious angel Copeland is! Xoxo
Wow I have goosebumps!!! Soooo happy for you 3❤️❤️❤️ Sending all the love to a beautiful little family:)
Oh Liz and Jose I am overjoyed for you both. Cope is such a beautiful little boy. I’m so excited to read your stories and see pictures of your beautiful little family. I’ve been checking several times a day to see this post. So happy for all of you!???
Tears of joy!! May God richly bless your new little family!

Awww! Congratulations mom and dad… he is beautiful!
Just reading this post again. Still crying happy tears!! He is so very precious! He is so loved by y’all and your families but also by your blog/instagram friends! ?Praise God from Whom all blessings flow?
I don’t think I’ve ever been happier for 2 people!!!! You both are amazing! God is good. Blessings to you, Jose and adorable Copeland!
Ok first Liz if there’s a way you can switch your blog account to have comments to be made first rather then scrolling through a thousand comments to leave one would be so much better….Now I’m so flipping happy for your now beautiful family, thanks for making us wait because these pictures of that perfect human are everything!!! I was waiting on pins and needles to see you sharing him, and telling us about the pure joy of Motherhood!!! You three feel like family and so many Moms use this platform to say, damn breastfeeding is so hard, and crap will we ever sleep again and oh my goodness the dang blowouts are awful….I knew you would share nothing bad, just again the pure joy you two feel as parents!!! Thanks so much it means a lot to those who patiently waited!!
Congratulations! I believe God gives us what we need , I believe it may not always be what we think we need and it may not look like what we dreamt we needed or wanted but He is good . We had an adoption journey but it did not end with us having a child . God must have other plans for us ? Thank you for sharing your family with us
Amazing. I was thrilled to see that this post was back up. I can’t wait to follow along as your parenting journey continues.
I am crying tears of joy for you both! You are literary glowing in the pictures and Copeland is precious! I’m not sure why exactly you decided to name him after the stranger you met, but God does everything for a reason. It is things like that that I think he is up there chuckling watching His masterful plan unfold!
I’m so touched by your story. So happy for you.
I love that!
Copeland is our daughter’s name!! Love it! So happy for you guys!
I am so happy for you and Jose! God is so gracious and good. Many prayers I have lifted up walking through your store asking God to give you a baby. The birth mom is so brave and my heart goes out to her too. God please wrap your arms around her, give her peace and comfort.
I’ve been following your journey on Instagram for awhile and I am totally so over the moon excited for you as you start this incredible journey into motherhood. He is absolutely PERFECTION!!!! Congratulations!!! ?
Congratulations to the two of you. I have been following your story and I am so happy that you finally have the one most precious gift you have been waiting for.
Happy, happy, tears of joy ???God is good ??
Happy happy happy tears are falling down my face right now reading this!! Not to mention I’m sitting in my sons martial art class right now and a few people asked me if I was ok. I excitedly tell them yes and I share the news! Congratulations and God bless your family!
I was crying reading this, you two are so very blessed. I am so so happy for you and Jose. This little one is going to grow up in the best way, with two parents that love him so hard. He is so stinking cute and the baby toes in your stories the other day:)
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! He is beautiful!!!! God’s timing is always perfect!!!! Praying God’s continued blessing on your family!!!!!
Yes…God does listen. Best wishes to you and your husband as you welcome this special child to your family. Enjoy each and every day with him. Hold him as much as possible. take many photos and be mindful of each moment. These times go by much too quickly. Thank you for sharing…
He is precious, and will always be. My youngest son is 41, and still as precious and beautiful as the day he was born. You have so many years of joy ahead of you. Cherish the memories. Congratulations!
Yes! Amen to your every word..?
Congrats for sharing your little rainbow! He is beautiful!
I meant a congrats AND thanks for….
Autocorrect is a funny thing.
God’s sweet blessing! Congratulations! Best news I’ve read in a very long time.
I am sitting in an Autobell car wash crying my eyes by your story! This is why…and now you know!
I’m beyond feelings right now. I’m so excited for you two. God had a plan from the beginning and watching that plan come to flurishtion make my heart explode your y’all. All I can think is “I witnessed an answered prayer”. God showed up and I saw it happen for you. Wooohoooo
1 Samuel 1:27
He’s perfect!! I am so very happy for you and Jose! To God give the glory!!!
Miracles happen every day because we have such a good Father! I’m so happy you and your husband have been blessed with this precious gift!
Congratulations! And is it my imagination or is that a sweet little smirk on his face lying on his sheep rug with a binky in his mouth??? I’m so happy for all of you. I remember thinking I could not love anyone as much as I did my newborn babies… and then about 6 or 8 weeks later I realized I could. That love gets so much deeper and wider as the days and weeks and years go by. It is truly the blessing of all blessings, I think…..
He is so perfect! You all three are so blessed! He is going to have so much fun growing up on White Cottage Farm with Mama & Daddy and all of the animals! Love to you all! ❤️ #answeredprayers
So happy for you and your husband…what a wonderful blessing. God us good.
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you three. You’re going to be great parents. From one adoptive mother to another, it’s a wonderful journey.
I absolutely LOVE THIS!! We adopted our son 18 years ago and I always told him he grew in my heart but I never heard it said like that. LOVE IT!!
So, so happy for you! What a cute little family! We adopted our youngest daughter almost eight years ago, and she is such a blessing. Birth mothers are all heroes in my book. Enjoy your new adventure. 🙂
I never thought I could possibly LOVE your blog, your insta posts anymore than I do…BUT now I can!
I am beyond moved by your story, and thankful that you shared with us! Looking SO forward to so much more!!!
God Bless Your Family~
Lisa
This is so beautiful. Congratulations to you all! What a gift you’ll be to one another.
What a beautiful story. I am so happy for you and Jose. What a gorgeous little man.
Karan
I just found your blog, read your post about being prayed over at Magnolia and now found this! What a joy! I had chills and felt so much joy reading about your little Copeland! Congratulations sister in the Lord! God truly is the giver of all good gifts! I too am a mother who has adopted all three of mine (out of foster care) and lamented for almost 10 years why we couldn’t get pregnant at all. But then God gave me a new dream and showed me the path He wanted me to walk. Thank you for sharing your story to the world! The Lord is praised and worthy of praise! Congratulations!!!
I found your blog years ago when you guys were in NC because of interior design, but it was your fertility story that made me check back in over the years, always hoping to hear good news. I struggled with PCOS as well and many miscarriages, but now have a healthy happy 3 year old boy, and I am soooo happy you now get to experience that joy! The waiting can be agonizing and full of pain and sadness…but that makes it all the sweeter in the end. He is beautiful. Congrats to you and Jose…he will be so loved. What a lucky little boy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This just brings me so much joy. He is perfect. You three are perfect. These images are perfect.
Congratulations! In the photo of Cope on the chunky blanket…I don’t even know you, but I SEE he has Jose’s eyes in that photo!!l How is that even possible, except GOD?!?! He is always, always good!
So so beautiful ?. Glory to God. He sets the lonely in families??❣️?
Congratulations on starting the most life-changing journey there is. There is nothing like new life, it makes the world go round and gives renewed purpose. Being a mom was the best thing I ever did, it made me see the world through someone else’s eyes and showed me what unconditional love really is. So happy for you and Jose.
Congratulations! He is absolutely beautiful. He is very lucky to have parents who wanted this gift from God and will love him beautifully.
So wonderful and amazing it all happened so fast! Will you share more of the adoption process and how it happened? We are starting our homestudy now. Did you also do one or did soemeone come forward and it end up being private? So excited and happy for you all!
He is so beautiful! Congratulations and blessings to all!
What a blessing little Copeland is … and what a blessed life he is going to have being your son! I wish both of you every happiness as you travel thru life with your beautiful son! ? Congratulations!
I’m so happy for all of you!
Welcome Copeland!!! You have been chosen by The King of All to represent His love to this world…adoption is His beautiful idea! Your Mama and Daddy have been blessed beyond compare!
Congratulations to the Galvan family and we rejoice in the Lord with you.
PS
We are a family with 5 adopted treasures aged 33 to 18…adequate words do not exist to express what happens in your heart and soul when you see and touch that miracle from the first moment and beyond.
Congratulations!!!! I sit here reading this with a huge lump in my throat!!! I have no words except God is so good & your baby Cope is perfection!!!!
It’s all in his timing. Sooooo very happy for you all. Prayers always coming your way and to the wonderful family the Lord chose to make it possible
Beautiful in every way!
Congratulations!! What an incredible story of God’s faithfulness.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy, God bless you all.
I have been a lurker on your blog for a long time. I have never submitted any comments because everyone else always says what I am also thinking. But this time a comment is necessary. I have prayed for both of you during your journey to become parents (to a human; you are already parents to a lot of furry children and they count as your children). The last couple of months have been challenging for me for various reasons but when I saw your post this morning it actually made me cry out loud for joy for you guys. My boys are adults now but I miss them as children. I loved all the experiences we had together as they were growing up. You are all going to have so much fun. Fasten your seat belt. They grow up too fast so savor every moment. Not only are you and Jose filled with joy but you have filled all of us with joy. God is good!
Just like Deborah, I too have followed you for some time, but have never left a comment before. I too feel the need to let you know how truly happy I am for you even though you don’t know me from Adam. My husband and I needed help to conceive, but we were lucky early on. We are truly blessed with 4 boys (triplets and a singleton). The struggles and pain you had to go through must have been so incredibly hard! Every time I read your blog, I felt a sadness inside and truly hoped you would soon have the joy and happiness you deserved. Well that day is here! Copeland is truly beautiful and he is so lucky to have you both as parents!!
