For some families, trying to have children becomes a long and painful journey. That was definitely the case for Brie and Stephen Owens, who spent 15 years trying to have a child of their own. Finally, after so many letdowns, Brie had good news to share with Stephen, and his reaction was heartwarming.
Years of Trying for a Family
Brie and Stephen began their journey to becoming parents in 2008 but were challenged along the way. Although never diagnosed as infertile, they preferred natural methods over fertility treatments like IVF. The couple remained hopeful throughout the ups and downs.
Parenthood was a dream that the young couple refused to let go, so they decided to adopt and they ultimately welcomed four kids between 2015 and 2023. The Owens didn’t just contribute to society but made their dreams come true, namely, being parents. Being pregnant wasn’t the only way to make their family feel complete. But then something amazing happened.
Brie Finds Out She’s Pregnant
Despite living a fulfilled life with their adopted children, a surprise arrived when Brie discovered she was pregnant.
In August, Brie noticed her period was late but attributed it to stress from remodeling their home and the fact her mother had just been hospitalized. However, a positive pregnancy test confirmed that she was indeed expecting after 15 years of trying.
Stephen’s Heartwarming Reaction
Just five minutes after finding out about her pregnancy, Brie filmed the emotional moment she shared the news with Stephen. The video captures Stephen’s disbelief and joy as he embraces his wife while expressing excitement about welcoming their fifth child together.
The heartwarming story of Brie and Stephen Owens exemplifies what perseverance and holding onto hope can bring. As the couple eagerly awaits their first biological child, their family is a testament to the power of love and patience in creating a lasting bond.
