But every night around 2:40 a.m., holding one baby while the other two cry, I wonder if we made a huge mistake. We weren\u2019t ready\u2014emotionally, financially. Even my husband, once so patient, now flinches at every beep.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"529\" data-end=\"707\">We barely talk; exhaustion has drained us both. The joy we felt when we found out we were having triplets feels distant.

Adoption isn\u2019t the only option.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1231\" data-end=\"1276\">We decide to keep all three and ask for help.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1278\" data-end=\"1378\">This journey taught us that true strength isn\u2019t doing it alone\u2014it\u2019s knowing when to ask for support.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1498\">If you\u2019re struggling, remember: you don\u2019t have to carry it all by yourself.
