Sadie and Jarvis Sampson: A Journey to Parenthood Beyond Expectations
Sadie and Jarvis Sampson spent years trying to conceive, exhausting every option before they came to terms with the idea that their path to parenthood might look different. Then, an unexpected text message changed everything overnight.
The couple, married in January 2018, initially tried to conceive naturally. When that didn’t work, they turned to every method they could think of: ovulation tests, prenatal vitamins, fertility tracking apps, and fertility monitors.
“We even tried the unsolicited advice of friends, family, and strangers to ‘just relax.’ For 14 months, we tried, prayed, and waited. Month after month, we faced negative pregnancy tests. It felt like we were running out of options,” Sadie shared with Love What Matters.
Doctors offered little guidance, often advising Sadie to lose weight to increase her chances of conceiving. Determined, Sadie underwent gastric surgery and successfully lost 28 pounds. Her OBGYN was thrilled and told her, “If you’re not pregnant within six months, I’ll refer you to a fertility specialist.”
Despite the weight loss and renewed hope, pregnancy still didn’t happen. “I felt like I was born to be a mother,” Sadie admitted. “But even after everything, we had to accept that we might only ever be an aunt and uncle.”
A Life-Changing Text
Just as they began to let go of their dream, Sadie received a text from a friend asking if they’d consider fostering a baby. The baby’s biological parents were unable to care for him, and the caseworker initially asked them to foster while the mother sought treatment.

The couple hesitated, afraid of growing attached to a child they might not be able to keep. But soon, the story took a surprising turn: “The birth mom decided she would like you guys to adopt the child instead,” the caseworker told them.
“Holy crap!” Sadie recalled exclaiming. “We went from being childless to being told, ‘You guys are parents!’ overnight.”
The weekend was filled with excitement, nerves, and cautious optimism as they waited to see if the birth mother would change her mind. But by Monday, it was official: the mother wanted them to adopt her son through an independent adoption.
Their baby boy, Ezra Lee, was born prematurely at 33 weeks, weighing just 4 pounds, 5 ounces. “He was so tiny, he literally fit in one of my husband’s hands,” Sadie recalled.
Building a Family That Doesn’t Have to Match
The Sampsons shared their adoption story on social media, and friends and family rallied around them, purchasing 55 out of 72 items from their baby registry in just three days.
Ezra’s adoption was finalized in October 2020. The family celebrated the occasion with matching t-shirts that read, “Families don’t have to match.”
In 2021, the Sampsons’ family grew again when they welcomed twin girls, Journee and Destinee, through embryo donation. Staying true to their family motto, this Black couple became proud parents to three white children: Ezra, Journee, and Destinee.
When faced with judgment or curiosity about their family dynamic, Sadie and Jarvis have one clear message: their family is built on the strongest foundation possible—love.
Their story is a powerful reminder that families come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and that love knows no boundaries. Please share their inspiring journey with others.
Celebrated country music singer, dies at 79 after Parkinsons battle….

A beloved figure from the music world, known for his sharp wit and satirical edge, has passed away at the age of 79, leaving fans in shock. This larger-than-life personality first gained fame in the early 1970s with a boundary-pushing, unconventional style that forever altered the landscape of country music. His provocative lyrics and fearless performances quickly earned him a loyal following, and he continued to surprise audiences with his bold approach to both music and life. His journey, which included a remarkable collaboration with one of the most iconic musicians of all time, was as unpredictable as it was unforgettable.
The late singer first rose to prominence with his satirical country band in the early ’70s, delivering unforgettable hits like “They Ain’t Makin’ Jews Like Jesus Anymore” and “Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed.” Although the band’s time was brief, his solo career flourished, and he embarked on a two-year tour with Bob Dylan, solidifying his place in music history.
Kinky’s colorful career extended beyond music. In 2006, he made headlines by running for governor of Texas, challenging incumbent Rick Perry. Although he finished fourth, his candidacy drew widespread attention and showcased his unique approach to politics. He later ran for the Democratic nomination for agriculture commissioner in 2010 and 2014, continuing his unconventional forays into public service.
A close friend, Clive Hattersley, fondly remembered Kinky as “an extraordinary communicator who could stir deep emotions—whether through laughter or tears.” Hattersley also revealed that Kinky had been quietly battling Parkinson’s disease in the years leading up to his death.
Throughout his prolific career, Kinky released 18 albums, with his final one, Circus of Life, arriving in 2018. His legacy of wit, music, and unapologetic authenticity will endure, leaving a lasting imprint on both his fans and the world of satire.
