I was just wondering about DeMarcus and his family. As an AA raised with my father out of the home I love how important being a father was to him and how much he appreciates the joy a child brings into your life! I wish them the best…and Marley is just the cutest little thing!!!

How down to earth is that a multi-millionaire shops at Wal-Mart?

I love this family. I live in Dallas and my sis-in-law is close to the family b/c she was Taniqua’s ultrasound tech. When she told me that had adopted a daughter my heart was so full of happiness for them. I know things have been difficult for them but this is just so fantastic! CONGRATS and BEST WISHES to the Ware family!!

I don’t like the new changes to the site.:(

If I recall correctly, the couple were told about a woman who was expecting and looking to relinquish the child for adoption. Most likely they were introduced in some way and arranged everything through private lawyers. Being chosen by a birth mother is, indeed, a speedy process in comparison to agency adoptions.

And what a beautiful family that was created in such a beautiful way!

Maybe it was private? My friends got her adopted baby in a couple weeks from start to finish.

Aw, those pictures are ADORABLE.

Kelly, I think this article is defining her adoption as the very last stage of the adoption process – not including the paperwork, home study, etc. It might take only (but not usually) a few weeks after being approved for adoption to receive a child. Not unheard of.

Weeks? Most adoptions, espically of babies, and ESPICALLY of girl babies, takes more like long months or years. No weeks.

The site looks different. Does it belong to People now? I am confused..

In any event, beautiful family!

What a wonderful blessing after so much heartache. Marley is surely a cutie pie. Blessing to the Ware’s!

I agree. As an adoptive parent myself, I totally teared up at the pic of them with little Marley. She’s a beautiful baby.
