Summary
After years of building a life, Ilya and Shane make a decision that terrifies them more than anything else they’ve faced: they decide to adopt a baby.
Only weeks after their application, they get a call. A babygirl is waiting.
On the surface, they seem ready. Ilya is excited, hopeful, and protective. Shane is prepared, organized, and logical.
But fatherhood doesn’t just open their home — it cracks open everything they’ve tried to keep buried.
How will they navigate this new season, not only as a couple, but as individuals, too?
A story about grief, recovery, and the messy, beautiful process of building a family... not through blood, but through choice, commitment, and love.
