Christie and Wesley Werts, a loving couple, embarked on a journey to blend their families, uniting Christie’s daughter Megan with Wesley’s children Austin and Dakota. Desiring to have a child of their own, they faced challenges due to Christie’s age.

However, their story took a miraculous turn when they welcomed a new member, Levi, into their family through adoption.

The couple’s love story began five years ago, leading to their marriage and the formation of a big blended family. Their desire for a biological child seemed challenging given Christie’s age, but their miracle arrived in the form of baby Levi.

The adoption process was not an easy one, lasting 16 months before they could bring Levi home.

Levi’s story is both touching and poignant. Born prematurely at 33 weeks in Texas, his biological mother, Wesley’s former partner, struggled with addiction, leading to her premature death just four days after Levi’s birth.

Unaware of her pregnancy, Christie and Wesley learned about Levi through a heart-wrenching situation: the baby was left with no one to care for him after his mother’s passing.

Christie, who had experienced foster care herself, was determined not to let Levi grow up in an unstable environment.

Strikingly, before learning about Levi, she had recurring dreams of a blue-eyed blond baby, setting her on a path to adopt him. The family flew to Texas to meet Levi, and the meeting aligned with Christie’s dreams, making it a love-at-first-sight moment.

The adoption process was challenging, requiring the couple to sell their house in Ohio and move to Texas for court proceedings. Levi’s biological father, with existing parental rights, added complexity to the situation, making it a 16-month journey filled with house inspections, interviews, and court appearances.

Despite facing criticism online for sharing their story, Christie and Wesley focused on the positive aspects.

Levi’s adoption was finally completed, and the couple joyfully brought him home. Levi, now a happy two-year-old, holds the Werts surname, a testament to his place in his adoptive family.

The parents plan to share his origin story with him when he’s older, cherishing the miracle of his presence in their lives. While some criticized the online sharing, many praised the heartwarming story and wished the family enduring happiness with Levi.
