Jessica Harris chose adoption for her daughter Sloane and found a loving family in the Moyers. An Instagram video of their heartwarming journey is going viral.
At the time, Harris and her toddler son Tristan were living in a one-bedroom apartment in Minnesota, and relying on spotty public transportation after her license was suspended due to a DWI.When Harris told her unborn baby’s father, a professional athlete, that she was expecting a child, she says he advised her to get an abortion. Harris says he was worried a baby would hurt his career.
“Kelly would always say, ‘Jess, we love you. If you decide to keep your baby, that makes us happy, because we want you to be happy,’” Harris recalls."And I knew she really meant it. That's the kind of people they are."When Harris gave birth in Feb. 2020, Kelly and Drew were in the delivery room cheering her on and never leaving her side.
“The fact that they came to my wedding all the way in Mexico,” Harris says. Her voice breaks and she starts to cry. “I wasn’t expecting it. I told them I was getting married and the next day I get a call, ‘Alright. We’re there. They want this relationship just as much as I do.”In a video that is going viral on Instagram, Harris is seen meeting Sloane right after giving birth. The clip then jumps to a beautiful scene where Harris is in her wedding dress twirling Sloane.
Harris lives in Fort Meyers, Florida, with her husband, Antonio, and their sons. “The other day we were chatting and she took the phone into her little tent and announced, ‘I’m talking to Jess by myself!’” Harris laughs. For her first day of preschool, Sloane wore a top that was a gift from Harris.
