A mom who turned to adoption after going into kidney failure during first childbirth has shared the emotional moment she was able to hold her adopted second baby for the first time. During the birth of her first child, Ann Marie Carney, 33, from Florence, Alabama, suffered from kidney failure, which saw her son, Greyson, born through emergency c-section at 30 weeks. The procedure saved Ann Marie’s life, but the recovery was very tough, she said, with her condition getting worse over the next few years. As a result, Ann Marie and her husband, Taylor, 33, carried out a lot of “soul searching” and settled on growing their family in a different way. The couple had always wanted a big family, and so they began looking into adoption, before taking the necessary steps. Then, in the summer of 2019, the couple found themselves waiting in a Florida hospital for their next child to be born. While sitting in the waiting room, Ann Marie and Taylor were called over by one of the nurses, who asked them to follow her.
