Our hearts are just so full after coming across this super sweet story – and of course the gorgeous accompanying photo is having an effect on us too.
Brothers Aiden and Eli Stuckey were born only 10 weeks apart, with Aiden born May 21st 2016 and Eli on July 31st 2016.
And the story of how it came about it as precious are they are.
The babies’ parents tried to conceive for many years, and after pursuing adoption and being matched with Aiden’s birth mother, they discovered a few weeks later they were going to have a baby!
Photographer Erin Fortney snapped the brothers in a special newborn shoot, with Aiden’s wide blue eyes open and alert as his best friend snuggles beside him.
“The story behind these two, sweet, PERFECT babies is one that you don't hear often and is absolutely incredible,” Erin captioned the image. “After numerous years of trying to conceive, their mom & dad decided to pursue adoption. Just a few, short weeks after being matched with a birth mother and learning that they would become parents to sweet Aiden (right) in May, they found out that they were, in fact, pregnant themselves - for the first time ever! Eli (left) was due in August and while quite the shock, their mom and dad were filled with joy and love in their hearts for these two babies already.
“Now, here they are – both brand new and so loved at just 10 weeks apart. Mama says it best – ‘God writes a better story’.”
Not only are these beautiful babies a gift to their parents, they’re a gift to each other. We’re sure they’re going to get such joy from each other, and grow up the very best of pals.
