An emergency responder continues as usual.
Firefighter Marc Hadden had a day unlike any other in 2011. On November 14, the South Carolina firefighter assigned to Myrtle Beach, arose as he normally would. The station had been fairly quiet when they got a call about a woman complaining of severe stomach pain. In a 2017 interview with TODAY, Hadden said, “It was a typical slow day in November.”. We hadn’t received a call all day as we were eating. “The young woman was in labor when first responders arrived on the scene, and they noticed this quickly.

Marc would have to assist the laboring woman even though he was a firefighter and not a doctor because it appeared they wouldn’t arrive at the hospital in time. It was a pretty important call for us, he said. “We started IVs and put her on oxygen, and my partner literally said, “We’re about to deliver a baby right here, as we were getting ready to leave the parking lot in the ambulance. We were unable to plan ahead. Gracie came out right away before we could do anything—we hadn’t even cut her clothes. She was immediately handed to me. “, said the firefighter.
Marc called Beth to inform her that he had assisted in the delivery of a baby girl after assisting the new mother. The couple had been trying unsuccessfully to conceive a third child, so Beth joked, “Can we keep her?” and it turned out that they could. Firefighter’s wife was informed that the mother was already struggling to raise a teenage son, which prompted Beth to go see her the following day. “This woman’s plight just broke my heart. I asked if I could get anything for her and gave her a small prayer book. “Beth elucidated.

Then Beth realized that this was a part of God’s plan, which she now fully understands. Beth said, “Suddenly the opportunity was there for me to say that Marc and I had been praying about adoption for years. She looked over at me and said, ‘I want you to adopt my baby. I got to hold Gracie for the first time after she was brought in by the nurse at her request. I told Marc I believed we had a baby over the phone. ‘”.
When the couple, their two boys, and their new baby girl were given full custody in March 2012, the family was complete. They decided on calling her Gracie and gave her the name Rebecca Grace. “She is the answer to our prayers. It was like being the lucky winner of the lottery. Beth uttered, “.
Gush Over Their Blessings.
Hadden waxed lyrical about his daughter. She’s amazing, he said in a 2017 interview with TODAY. She participates in gymnastics and is preparing to enter kindergarten at the institution where my wife works in the coming year. She is a child of considerable merit. He said, “I’m still a firefighter, but I do it for free. “Most days, getting Gracie to daycare, gymnastics, or soccer is routine. Oh my gosh, my wife and I have been together for 15 years, and now we have three kids! It occasionally feels a little overwhelming. This usually happens when we’re out on a date night. The fact that this happened so suddenly is mind-blowing, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything. “.
He added that the family has consistently been up front and truthful about how Gracie entered their lives. He said, “My daddy delivered me in the back of an ambulance. If you ask her where she was born. She is fully informed of the facts. When she was old enough to understand, I wanted to let her know. I didn’t want it to come as such a big shock. Because she doesn’t really understand it completely, it still breaks my heart to think that I might have to explain it to her in more detail at some point. I have an incredible bond with Gracie,” he continued. As tight as thieves, we are. She is unquestionably a member of our family, he continued. “We adore her.”. “.

Friends and family provided the firefighter and his family with a lot of support. Some even gave the family financial support to help them build Gracie’s addition. “We have unquestionably outgrown our home, so I’m not sure what we would have done. Thus, having friends who will come together for us in this way makes us feel incredibly blessed. “.
