This was totally making me tear up this morning! <\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an incredible story of a mothers love.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Hannah Mongie was 18 when she\u00a0got pregnant with her boyfriend of eight weeks, a missionary named Kaden Whitney.<\/p>\n

Since they were young and hadn\u2019t been dating very long, they considered giving the baby up for adoption.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t an easy decision, but one that ultimate gave the young couple some peace. \u201cWe went back and forward, but eventually Kaden said that we needed to do what was best for the baby and in our case we felt like that was adoption,\u201d Hannah said.\u00a0 \u201cWhen we came to that decision together we felt an immense amount of peace about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

But only two months into her pregnancy, her boyfriend died unexpectedly from natural causes\u00a0while sleeping.\u00a0\u00a0She gave birth to her son, whom she named Taggart, and spent 48 hours with him before handing him over to his adoptive mother.\u00a0 But while she had him, she made a very emotional video explaining herself to her son.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t think,\u201d she said, \u201cFrom the day your Daddy died I had a hard time even considering placing you with a different family when you were my last piece of Kaden.\u00a0But one day I woke up and just knew you were supposed to be with someone else\u2026\u00a0If I didn\u2019t love you I wouldn\u2019t be in the position at all and you wouldn\u2019t have this awesome family. I\u2019m going to give you all the kisses I can before I sign you away to Brad and Emily.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brad and Emily Marsh are Taggart\u2019s adoptive parents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Though Hannah didn\u2019t want to give up her child, especially since her boyfriend had passed away, she received guidance from her parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad just said what Kaden and me had already talked about, that our baby deserved to wake up in his crib and have both a mom and dad there to love him.\u00a0 I was so torn about it for a while but one day I woke up and I just felt this unexplainable peace. I knew I was going to do this. It was what was best for our baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

What a selfless act of love.\u00a0 Thanks to an \u201copen adoption\u201d arrangement with the parents, Hannah gets to babysit her son.\u00a0 I love how all of the people involved with this pregnancy did everything they could to make life better for this sweet little boy.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a part of the video Hannah filmed for her son.<\/p>\n
