Lucy and Ross Matthews were overjoyed when they learned they were expecting twins—a boy and a girl. After a long journey trying to conceive, the ultrasound confirming their twin baby boy and girl had filled them with hope and excitement. But when the nurse returned with two baby girls after the initial post-delivery checkup, Lucy’s heart sank. Confused and alarmed, she demanded to know where her son was, but the nurse insisted both babies were hers and dismissed any mix-up.

Lucy was deeply moved by Savannah’s story and the innocence of the child who had briefly become part of her family by mistake. After much thought and a heartfelt conversation with Ross, the couple decided to adopt the girl, naming her Amelia. What started as a hospital mix-up blossomed into a beautiful act of compassion, bringing an unexpected new member
