One week after couple adopts triplets their doctor gives them this incredible news
Life can and will throw you a curveball many times throughout your lifetime
This is particularly true in the case of Sarah and Andy a couple from Tulsa, Oklahoma
Who were desperately trying to be parents?
After years of unsuccessful attempts at trying the justice family decided that it was time. They considered adoption
However, much like their three long years of waiting to conceive the adoption process would be just as long and frustrating
However, the couple persevered and they were given the chance to adopt not one baby, but three
However, once they adopted the triplets something unbelievable and miraculous happened soon after
Sarah and Andy had been married for three years and while they enjoyed their life together
They felt as though something was missing
The one thing they truly wanted was children of their own it certainly wasn't for lack of trying
It was just that they weren't having the best of luck
However, after three years of waiting it seemed as though they'd have to ask for a third party for help
So Sarah and Andy decided that it was time to ask for the advice of fertility experts in
2014 the couple traveled from their comfortable home in Tulsa, Oklahoma
To st. Louis, Missouri to seek out the help of a fertility specialist
The justices had driven six hours and when they arrived all they received was more bad news
The specialist told the frustrated couple that while the pair were perfect candidates for in vitro fertilization treatment
There was still only a 10% chance that they could become pregnant
The process was also more invasive than they were prepared to deal with more than that. The entire process wasn't exactly a cheap one
As it turns out the in-vitro fertilization process cost a lot of money
It would cost the justices between thirty and sixty thousand dollars
So between the very expensive cost and the low percentage that it could actually occur
The couple decided that it wasn't the right path for them. So the couple decided to move on to the next step adoption
Even though adoption had some difficulties as well
It seemed like the next best option for instance
The process of adoption can take years to finalize and the justices were more interested in adopting newborn babies
Regardless they were willing to do whatever possible in order to get a good outcome
they began with a series of interviews as
Part of the adoption process Sarah and Andy had to be interviewed by prospective birth mothers
To help determine if they'd be fitting parents for their child while the interviews were cordial and successful
They were extremely tiring and stressful for the Justus family
unfortunately for the couple their struggle to build their family wasn't over in the slightest the
Justices had finally been accepted as adoptive parents on two separate occasions following the interviews in both cases
The birth mothers ended up changing their minds at the last second and decided not to follow through it
So just when it seemed like things would go smoothly. They had to begin the process all over again
However, they weren't about to give up so easily
When the couple was at their lowest, they received a call that would change their lives
One of the expectant mothers had accepted them as parents
So they met with her again and they even went with her to an ultrasound appointment
During the scan everything seemed perfectly normal, but there was one surprise that nobody in the room could expect the woman was having triplets
Rather than just try and renegotiate the agreement the justices decided to just move forward with the entire adoption and adopt all three children
The papers were signed and Sarah and Andy were about to become the proud parents of three beautiful newborn babies something they weren't exactly
prepared for
The situation actually ended up suiting the couple perfectly they planned on having more than one child
But they were dreading on going through the adoption process a second time. It seemed they had the perfect situation
Three children all at once they were ready to meet their newborn triplets
The babies Hannah Joel and Elizabeth were born in May of 2013
Life then threw another curveball at the family when the triplets were born eight weeks early
the tiny babies weighed only three pounds each which meant they had to be kept in neonatal intensive care for
quite a while before they could go home with their parents a
Week after the baby's premature birth
Sarah Justus decided go to a doctor's appointment one day as normal the stress of the entire situation have been affecting her health
And she wanted to make sure she was in top shape by the time her triplets came home
When the doctor came in he gave Sara the most unbelievable news, Sara wasn't sick at all. She was pregnant
It was a miracle and not only was she just pregnant but she was also having twins
Fate is a very odd thing and so his life
While this amazing and highly unlikely occurrence would have felt like awful timing to many people
The justices were absolutely thrilled the irony of the situation. Absolutely
Amused them and they weren't prepared for the difficulty that would come with raising five children all under a year old
However, emotionally Sara and Andy were more than prepared
They were shocked, of course who wouldn't be?
but they had been longing for a family of their own for so long that they couldn't help but feel the situation was quite a
blessing
Soon they had welcomed their biological twins, Andrew and Abigail into their home as well
Life with five kids was sure going to be a big adjustment
Of course
The situation wouldn't be an easy one with five hungry kids the couple didn't really sleep much during the first few months
Luckily Sara had the help from their wonderful community and their family
friends neighbors
Members of their parish and many other members of the community all pitched in to help the family and the new parents of five
Members of Tulsa's Eastland Baptist Church began to send over food for the family as well
They'd sent cooked meals frozen dinner and baby formula
Their friends from the church even offered to help watch the five justice babies while the couple was away at work
And it wasn't just food that their family gave them Tulsa donated diapers bottles blankets and clothing to the Justice family
These supplies were sorely needed the five infants ended up going through 300 diapers and 84 bottles every week
Since it was such a huge task to get the kids from place to place the justices had to buy a bigger van
Sarah and Andy had a little bit of a tough time telling the babies apart at first
Even though there was an age difference. So to fix this they came up with a system to tell them apart
The boys were easy, but for their older daughters Hannah and Elizabeth, the parents used different coloured toenail polish
the justices soon became internet celebrities
The story of the justices ordeal immediately went viral and in the three years that passed since the justices became parents
They gained a very large following on social media the world was constantly watching and looking at their great photos and updates about the kids
The couple who had thought they'd never be parents even welcomed a sixth child in January as of 2016
Even though their life is incredibly hectic the justices say that they wouldn't change it for the world
Their lives have become all about the children, but they feel like it's a good thing
Sarah said it was something we wanted so badly that we loved it. We just really love having these children
